In its original appearance in GTA 2, the Romero assumes the design of a two-door hardtop coupe, distinguished by its bubble-like windscreens and triangular windows in the rear. The Romero name is likely a play on [[wp:Alfa Romeo|Alfa Romeo]], with its design taking after 1950s Alfa Romeo designs (see the [http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1955-Alfa-Romeo-Bertone-BAT-9.htm 1955 Alfa Romeo BAT 9 concept car]). [[Ray Larabie]]'s concept art of the car exhibits a more original design. | In its original appearance in GTA 2, the Romero assumes the design of a two-door hardtop coupe, distinguished by its bubble-like windscreens and triangular windows in the rear.

Despite its somewhat sporty appearance, the GTA 2 rendition's controls are delayed, resulting in sluggish cornering, and its acceleration and top speed may be regarded as below average. When [[Crusher|crushed]], the Romero will award the player [[Body Armor|armor]] when in the Downtown District, or [[Molotov Cocktail|Molotov cocktails]] in the Industrial District. | Despite its somewhat sporty appearance, the GTA 2 rendition's controls are delayed, resulting in sluggish cornering, and its acceleration and top speed may be regarded as below average.

In GTA Vice City, Romero's Hearse resembles an '80s Buick Superior Hearse (in turn based on a 1977–1984 [[wp:Buick Electra|Buick Electra]]). In GTA San Andreas, it resembles a late '70s Cadillac hearse, sporting a wider range of colors for the roof and body (although generally maintain dark tones). One of [[Carl Johnson|Carl Johnson's]] possible [[Girlfriends in GTA San Andreas|girlfriends]], [[Katie Zhan]], owns a white Romero, and will give Carl the keys to it if Carl gains her approval. The Romero featured in GTA Vice City may come with a coffin at the back (appearing with one of two or three different designs). | In GTA Vice City, Romero's Hearse resembles an '80s Buick Superior Hearse (in turn based on a 1977–1984 [[wp:Buick Electra|Buick Electra]]).
