A Peyote in GTA IV.

The Peyote is a two-door 50's-like car found in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. After collecting all thirty cars for Stevie, he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Peyote fetching $2,500.

"Peyote" is the real-life common name of a North American breed of cactus famous for its powerful psychoactive properties.

Design

The chassis mainly resembles a 1955-1957 Ford Thunderbird but it has double taillights instead of single ones. The headlights are off a 1966 or 1967 Pontiac (with bigger lights and somewhat altered headlight bezels to fit into the mid-1950's era), there are other vehicles with similar headlights but they still look closer to the Pontiac's, and the lights on the front bumper might be from 1959 Fords. Cops sometimes call it a "jalopy". The Peyote is available in coupe and convertible forms, as well as occasionally appearing with a continental kit (a rear-mounted spare tire), or tiger/zebra skin patterns on the seats and a pair of black fuzzy dice.

Performance

The performance of the Peyote is below average in comparison to other cars of similar size in the game. The vehicle suffers from an underpowered engine that is unable to provide both good acceleration and top speed. Its long wheelbase and small tires also result in poor cornering and stability, often requiring the aid of a handbrake to make moderately sharp turn.
