Roman's Taxi: Difference between revisions

Roman's Taxi is based on the near-identical [[Albany]] [[Esperanto]] - due to the Albany badging, many people thought that it was actually called the [http://www.gta4.net/vehicles/index_old.php ''Albany'']. Roman's Taxis are not driven on the streets by civilians, but by Roman's taxi drivers. The car is visually distinguishable from the Esperanto by its minor alterations -- red or yellow taxi [[wp:Automotive_lighting#Taxi_displays|emergency lights]] affixed to the front and back, taxi registration number on the trunk, advertising on the rear bumper and rear window, and a custom red interior. By default, Roman's Taxi is dark gray with a discolored gray driver's side front fender.  It can be resprayed to other colors, and may be randomly resprayed back to its default appearance.

Performance and handling-wise, Roman's Taxi is heavier than the Esperanto (1700kg to the Esperanto's 1600kg), and has inferior acceleration, but has a significantly greater top speed (295km/h to the Esperanto's 218km/h); it also has slightly stronger braking and softer suspension.  It is slightly less prone to deformation than the Esperanto, and can better withstand collisions.
