The Voodoo is a two-door hardtop in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
Influence[]
With its panoramic windshield and distinctive tail fins, the Voodoo strongly resembles a 1959–1960 Chevrolet Impala. However, instead of the Impala's triple tail lights, the Voodoo uses double tail lights, like those seen on the fourth-generation Chevrolet Bel Air and 1960 Chevrolet Biscayne.
Design[]
The Voodoo is easily recognizable by the circular headlights within the grille, with a trim detail surrounding them and a small bumper below. On the sides, a detail can be seen on the rear fenders, along with circular rear-view mirrors. The cabin is relatively large and the windshield reaches the roof level. The rear of the car has an indented trunk and flat panels housing the circular tail lights on the edges. There is a bumper with a concave portion on the center.
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the car is only available in red (with the exception of the unique black version seen in the mission Two Bit Hit), and has hydraulics instead of a horn. Because the Voodoo is classed as a gang car, it cannot be resprayed. However, in the beta version, a civilian version of the Voodoo appeared alongside a gang variant (known as the "Haitian Voodoo").
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, it is seen in many different colors. The fuel cap is located behind the rear license plate, and the car will explode if the license plate is shot. Hydraulics can be installed, or some may spawn with them installed.
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the Voodoo has a distinctive, high-performance engine and the hydraulics are replaced by a horn, and it is usually found in either a pink or grey color.
The car is often utilized as a gang car, first by the Haitians in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, then the Grove Street Families (and, in some missions, by the Ballas) in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Performance[]
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the Voodoo is moderately fast and agile, with smooth handling for a car of its size, and thanks to its low center of gravity, it will generally not flip unless the hydraulics are active. In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, however, the speed of the Voodoo is slower and it struggles to climb steep inclines. After a collision, it may take a while until the Voodoo gets going again, and the wide turning radius can make it difficult to perform fast turns.
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the engine of the Voodoo emits the same noise as the BF Injection. The engine appears to be turbocharged, though the performance appears to have been downgraded.
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, however, the Voodoo is an excellent car to drive. Though it lacks in acceleration, it has noticeably good front traction, allowing it to turn responsively and tightly. Coupled with the ABS systems which it has equipped in GTA San Andreas (which is odd for a car of its age), it handles corners very well, being able to brake and turn simultaneously, unlike most cars which almost immediately lock their wheels upon braking. The Voodoo is the second fastest vintage car in terms of top speed in GTA San Andreas, with its top speed being on par with the Sultan.

Black Voodoo | A unique black Voodoo appears during Two Bit Hit in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, at a funeral gathering for the Haitian gang. As they arrive at the funeral, players may steal and store the Voodoo first before focusing on the target fleeing in a Romero. An alternative would be to snipe the driver of the Voodoo, kill the target before the chase goes too far from the Voodoo (the Minigun would be a great weapon to do this with), and then get in the Voodoo and quickly drive off to avoid the car being destroyed by gang members. | |

Trivia[]
The Voodoo in Manhunt 2. (Rear quarter view)
- Multiple Voodoos make a cameo appearance in Rockstar North's Manhunt 2, parked at the Red Light District.
- The name of the car could be derived from the Voodoo religion of Haiti, as it is used by the Haitians as a gang car. As well as its real-life counterpart the Chevrolet Biscayne, references Biscayne Bay, where the huge waterway between mainland Vice City and Vice Beach is based on.
