The Schyster PMP 600 is a four-door luxury sedan featured in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Influence[]
The PMP 600 closely resembles the 2005–2010 Chrysler 300C SRT-8 with tail lights resembling the ones from the station wagon version of 300C. The front resembles the 2004–2008 Audi A4, seen in the headlight shape, grille dimensions and the lower vents. The side profile of the PMP 600 might have been inspired by the 2003 Ford 427 Concept.

Performance[]
According the Autoeroticar website, the PMP 600 has an absurdly large 600 cubic inch (9.8L) diesel SEMI V8 engine, explaining the "600" in the car's name. The engine model in-game, however, appears to be a turbocharged twin-cam Inline-4 and sound the same as most luxury sedans like the Cognoscenti or the Admiral, coupled to a five-speed automatic gearbox, in a front engine, rear wheel drive layout. The steering feel is the complete opposite of the real life 300's overly light steering; It is okay at low speeds, but seems to need excessive input at high speeds. The car handles through corners reasonably well, but suffers at high speeds due to the length and the soft rear suspension. Acceleration is not bad, taking around 11 seconds to reach 60 mph from a standstill. The top speed is stated to be 87 mph in the files, however, testing proves it can only reach around 83 mph. The braking system equipped to the PMP 600 is more than reliable; stopping distances are noticeably lower than other cars in its class and has great maneuvering under braking pressure, thanks to its stated ABS. Visual deformation can be major on frontal collisions, even if not at high speeds, but the vehicle can take much damage and explosions before catching on fire. Because of the chop-top, it is vulnerable to rollover damage.

Locations[]
- Standard
- The PMP 600 is an uncommon car in Broker, Dukes, and Bohan, meaning the player will not encounter the car often until Algonquin is unlocked. The PMP 600 is a common and popular car in Algonquin and Alderney.
- It usually is seen around Francis International Airport and the surrounding area.
- Sometimes, but not very frequently, spawns in Hove Beach while after playing a few missions early in the game (along with Ingots and Premiers).
- One PMP 600 spawns in the alley by the Exchange District in Algonquin, in front of the Barium Street Building East building, as part of Stevie's Car Thefts. The car will re-spawn any time after Niko sends the requested PMP 600 to Stevie.
- Spawns more commonly if the player is driving a Cognoscenti.
- Spawns easily by riding in a Hellfury around Star Junction.
- Can spawn when riding in a NRG 900 around Star Junction but may take a while.
- Presumably either after Algonquin and Alderney are unlocked or after the game's completion, the PMP 600 can be seen driving around more often in Bohan and Dukes and possibly in Broker.
- Brucie requires Niko to steal a PMP 600 for his Exotic Exports; however, the location is random. Brucie will tell Niko via email where to find it.
- Modified
- The modded PMP 600 often driven by the Mafia is commonly found in Westdyke and Leftwood, Alderney, and Little Italy, Algonquin.
- Six PMP 600s can be found outside the museum during the mission, Museum Piece; three are black and three are white. They presumably belong to the Jewish Mob. Interestingly, these PMP 600s appear to have both the standard grille and the grille specific to the Mafia variant, therefore being hybrid variants. This PMP 600 can also be found in the mission Clocking Off.
- Three PMP 600s with a random unique luster can be found outside the casino during the mission, Out of Commission.
- A modded PMP 600 with a random unique luster is provided in the mission Payback.

Trivia[]
- The car's "PMP" name may be derived from the term "pimp", most likely a reference to the popularity of the 300C to the rap/pimp culture.
- The name could also be from the commonly-used abbreviation, "PMP", meaning, "Piss My Pants".
- "Semi" is a reference to the Chrysler 300C's real-life 5.7/6.1L "Hemi" (hemisphere) engine, whilst also being slang for a partial erection.
- If observed closely, the logo next to the word 'SEMI' is imaged from a flaccid/partially erect penis.
- The car's "Semi" engine could be a play on the running gag that current Hemi engines are actually "Semi-Hemi's" and do not completely fall into the category of a Hemi engine.
- The two default radio stations in the PMP 600 are Electro-Choc and Radio Broker.
- The interior of the PMP 600 seems to be ripped from the Schafter, as the steering wheel bears the Benefactor logo, also the logo and dashboard instruments (tachometer, speedometer, odometer and fuel gauge) are less blurred than in Schafter. This may be a reference to the vast amount of Mercedes-Benz parts in the 300C, since the car was engineered and built in the DaimlerChrysler era.
- If the player takes a PMP 600 to a Pay 'n' Spray too many times it will turn a unique, dark teal color. This color will then be permanent, and no amount of subsequent resprays will change it. This is most likely a glitch, as almost every other car in the game will continually cycle through its available colors each time the player visits a Pay N' Spray. The exceptions are the Buffalo from The Ballad of Gay Tony, the Dukes and the Infernus, which all suffer from similar glitches.
- Unlike most other cars, the side windows can take several shots from a projectile weapon before breaking, but if the player enters a parked one, he will break the windows very easily with his arm.
- The PMP 600 is one of the rare cars that comes with a door-ajar chime, which can be heard when the door is open in a quiet area.
- The spoiler on the sportier version is similar to the Merit's.
- The badge on the front grill is not actually connected to the grill, causing it to float in midair if the front bumper is damaged or removed.
