The GTA IV rendition of the Moonbeam is powered by a 3.5L engine, presumably a V6, and features a rear wheel drive layout, however its lack of power makes this characteristic negligible; with a top speed 77.8 mph/125.2 km/h, the Moonbeam drives as slowly as its predecessors, and still suffers from understeer. Frustratingly, the Moonbeam fails to withstand a large amount of damage, as its large size would suggest. | The GTA IV rendition of the Moonbeam is powered by a 3.5L engine, presumably a V6, and features a rear wheel drive layout, however its lack of power makes this characteristic negligible; with a top speed 77.8 mph/125.2 km/h, the Moonbeam drives as slowly as its predecessors, and still suffers from understeer.

In GTA IV, a Moonbeam is requested as part of [[Stevie's Car Thefts]], appearing with a uniquely black and red body. As a new Moonbeam will respawn at the same spot until the player delivers one to [[S&M Auto Sales]], the player can save one at the garage before delivering another. | |||

*The Moonbeam in GTA Vice City, along with the game's [[Bobcat]], is one of the earliest vehicles in the series to [[Vehicle Details#Model badge|physically depict its name]]; sporting a "MOONBEAM" badge on its trunk lid. | *The Moonbeam in GTA Vice City, along with the game's [[Bobcat]], is one of the earliest vehicles in the series to [[Vehicle Details#Model badge|physically depict its name]]; sporting a "MOONBEAM" badge on its trunk lid. | ||
*Driving a Moonbeam into the [[TransFender]] in [[Las Venturas]] will cause the vehicle to spawn on top of the garage but underneath the roof, trapping the player and the vehicle. At this point the player can only escape by blowing themselves up, re-loading the game's save file, or re-loading the game itself. | *Driving a Moonbeam into the [[TransFender]] in [[Las Venturas]] will cause the vehicle to spawn on top of the garage but underneath the roof, trapping the player and the vehicle.
