The Peyote is a two-door 1950s coupe/convertible featured in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.
Design
The chassis mainly resembles a 1955-1957 Ford Thunderbird but it has double taillights instead of single ones, giving the rear end a similar appearance to Cadillacs from the early '60s (1961, 1963). The headlights loosely based from a 1966 or 1967 Pontiac GTO with bigger lights and somewhat altered headlight bezels to fit into the mid-1950s 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.
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. The badging on sides read "V10 supercharged", but the engine actually has eight cylinders.

Its long wheelbase and small tires also result in poor cornering and stability, often requiring the aid of the handbrake to make moderately sharp turns. A it its top speed the Peyote handles badly but if turned just slightly it will not spin.
