==== JDM VIP ====
=== Performance ===
The standard Feroci is powered by a 3-liter V6, coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in RWD configuration. Acceleration is acceptable, but not exceptional.  Top speed is adequate, but again, not exciting. Handling is good, but is too soft to keep the Feroci cornering at speed. Braking is acceptable, and ABS is available but not standard. Crash deformation is acceptable, and the engine can sustain many direct hits before catching fire.
 
== Variants ==
=== JDM VIP ===

A modified version, the Feroci JDM VIP, is driven by the [[Algonquin Triads|Triads]], and can be found around [[The Exchange]] or [[Chinatown, Algonquin|Chinatown]].  These sport gold rims, a chin spoiler with body kit, and somewhat improved performance (see below). [[wp:Chinese knotting|Chinese knotting]] is attached to the rear view mirror.  The JDM VIP Feroci is usually painted cobalt blue although it can be resprayed any color.  The JDM VIP is still referred to as 'Feroci' when entered by the player.

JDM stands for Japan Domestic Market, and [[wp:VIP style|VIP]] is a common Japanese label for luxury cars, suggesting a Japanese car; like all Ferocis, however, it is branded as a Bravado, the GTA IV equivalent of the American [[wp:Dodge Motor Company|Dodge Motor Company]].  Presumably the Feroci is a [[wp:captive import|captive import]], a foreign vehicle sold by a domestic manufacturer.

The Feroci JDM VIP possesses a slightly higher-revving engine, giving it a faster off-the-line acceleration than the standard model.  Top speed has been upgraded as well, to a brisk and enjoyable pace. Handling has also been upgraded, keeping the car flat and level in the corners, while the suspension has been firmed up slightly. Braking is very good, and ABS is standard. Crash deformation and engine resilience remain the same.
=== FlyUS variant ===

The FlyUS variant is only cosmetically distinct from the ordinary Feroci, and possesses identical performance.
