Template:Infobox vehicles
The Declasse Rhapsody is a two-door hatchback featured in The Lost and Damned, Grand Theft Auto V, and Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the "I'm Not a Hipster" Update.
Design
The Lost and Damned
The car is based on the infamous AMC Pacer manufactured from 1970–75, while the front is designed after the Volkswagen Golf Mk1. The wheels appear to be aftermarket, bearing a resemblance to American Racing Ansen Sprint mag wheels.
Grand Theft Auto V
Its appearance in Grand Theft Auto V is mostly unchanged, with the exception of whitewall tires added by default, and the optional customization features in Los Santos Customs. New body modification options include a ducktail spoiler, fender flares, and a bumper lip, a reference to the original Volkswagen Golf GTI.

Performance
The Lost and Damned
The car handles similarly to the Blista Compact, although the Rhapsody is an FR layout vehicle, (as opposed to the Blista Compact's FF layout) with more reasonable torque, and lower top speed. Its handling is very good, as its light weight and stiff suspension allow it to take turns at a high speed with almost no oversteer. However, crash deformation is poor, and as expected from a vehicle of this size and weight, its engine will fail after 3-4 head-on crashes. It is, however, very back-heavy and is prone to spinouts, but this trait can be good for drifting in the hands of experienced drivers.

Grand Theft Auto V
The Rhapsody's performance virtually is unchanged in GTA V, with only minor alterations to the vehicle's rigidity and nimble-feeling, where it now feels more stiff and stable, as oppose to TLAD's rendition where the car felt slightly more loosely suspended.

Special Variants
The Lost and Damned
In TLAD, there is a robin egg blue Rhapsody in the mission Off Route. The car is across the street from the player after the starting cutscene. The player can obtain this uniquely colored vehicle by parking it at any safehouse without harming the completion of the mission. A tip to obtain this is to park it outside the Bellic Penthouse on Albany Avenue.
Grand Theft Auto V
Pre-modified variants of the Rhapsody can be seen driving around Los Santos randomly. The following two sets may spawn only in story mode. The vehicles appear in set color sets with custom front bumper, bug catcher, lowered suspension and spoiler.

Trivia
General
- The Rhapsody's name is a reference to the 1992 film Wayne's World, specifically the famous scene where the two lead characters, Wayne and Garth, sing along to the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen while driving in the "Mirthmobile" (an AMC Pacer). A photograph can be seen within the Rhapsody depicting Wayne and Garth. Furthermore, a "W" (as in "Wayne's World") is seen badged inside and outside the car, also the photo says "Schwing", one of the catch phases used by Wayne and Garth in the movie.
- The default radio stations for the Rhapsody are:
- The Lost and Damned: The Beat 102.7.
- GTA V: WorldWide FM.
- The Rhapsody looks similar to a vehicle featured in the 2006 Atari game Driver: Parallel Lines, which was also called the Rhapsody.
Grand Theft Auto V
- The Rhapsody shares its interior with the Stallion, like the Regina, with the Rhapsody badge stamped on the dashboard and doors. As such, the steering wheel on the Rhapsody bears a Classique logo rather than a Declasse logo.
- The Rhapsody is listed in the original handling file, but it did not appear in-game until the I'm Not a Hipster Update. It seemed to originally be an AWD vehicle with a slightly heavier mass and higher speed. [1]
- In Grand Theft Auto V, through customization, it's possible to make the Rhapsody resemble the Pacer used in the film Wayne's World.
