The Nagasaki Chimera is a tricycle featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Bikers update.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The vehicle takes the appearance of a tricycle (or as the website description calls it, a trike). The design is purely custom and does not reflect any real-life manufactured tricycle; however, it has similarities to real-world custom tricycles.
The Chimera bears a rather unique design with a three-wheeled layout, where it has a front girder design and springer front end, as well as a small front fender and a single circular headlight attached to the clamp. The upper area mounts long handlebars, while sharp details can be seen on the upper caps of the forks and the ends of the handlebars.
On the main body, the fuel tank is seemingly rounded and has a gray strip with a cap in the center, while the cylindrical oil tank is mounted at the front of the main chassis, between the foot pads. The engine has two exhaust pipes on each cylinder block which merge into a single pipe on the right side, bearing a wrapped detail. Like other motorcycles featured in the same update, the Chimera features a protruding primary drive with an Atomic-branded belt, which is fully animated. Unlike most motorcycles, however, the trike has no dials.
The rear portion of the chassis mounts a small seat above and houses the driveshaft and axle, while both sides mount the articulated arms, suspension shocks/springs and large fenders with circular tail lights. Like the Avarus and the Sanctus, the Chimera has a vertically-mounted license plate on the rear left fender.
The primary color of the trike is applied on the front fender, headlight housing, fuel tank, oil tank and rear fenders, while the secondary one is applied on the the bodywork frames, the front forks, the details of the headlight housing, the sharp details and the innermost sides of the rear fenders. It uses large wire rims with a permanent light gray/silver finish and high-profile tires with whitewall detail, with the rear ones being wider.

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Chimera performs very well in terms of speed and cornering. It also performs wheelies extremely well, even pulling back completely will not result the player of falling off of the Chimera. Because of the three-wheeled design, the Chimera has the disadvantage of being wider and heavier than most motorcycles, but makes up for its stability and control over curbs, bumpy roads and uneven terrain.
Mechanically, the Chimera uses a mix of the physics used by motorcycles and ATVs. While this normally is not a problem, this means going off jumps using the Chimera is all but suicidal; due to the odd physics handling, the vehicle is almost completely unable to pitch and roll while in midair. Instead, it will either heavily nosedive after going off a jump or simply remain at the same angle it was at when it lifted off the ground. Thus, taking it to a stunt race or into a mountainous area is ill-advised, lest the player be unable to land properly after going off a jump and getting wasted due to landing wrong.
The Chimera uses a chain-driven, V-twin internal combustion engine with a 4-speed manual transmission, as evidenced by the foot-actuated gear shifter. It has a mid-revving and odd-firing engine sound, which is also shared with the second variant of the Daemon added in the same update.
Installing any "Belt Drive Cover" modification will increase its traction slightly, in the same way as a spoiler.

Trivia[]
General[]
- The vehicle is very likely named after the Chimera in mythology, which consists of a monstrous fire-breathing hybrid creature with three (or more) animal parts.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- Despite being a motorcycle, the Chimera uses the ATV icon.
- The front wheel and the front brake disc is not centered correctly, causing these to look odd when they are spinning.
- This was later fixed in the Import/Export update.
- When reversing, the bike's rear wheels will spin backwards for a split second before the player actually moves backwards. The trike does not have a reverse gear, meaning the amount of power put into the vehicle in the files is too much too soon for the reverse-walk animation. This also occurs with the Rampant Rocket.
- Although the Chimera has a backfire sound to it, its flames do not emit from its exhaust pipes. This is also apparent on the Street Blazer.
- This was later fixed in the Import/Export update.
