The Vincent is a 4-door car available in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV. In San Andreas, it is usually found in San Fierro, mostly around the business centers.

Design

The Vincent resembles a BMW E34 5-Series in San Andreas, even though the 5-Series is much narrower than the Vincent. In GTA IV, it more closely resembles a 1999-2003 Mitsubishi Galant from the front and a 2nd generation, with the only difference being that the Vincent is rear-wheel drive, while the Galant is front-wheel drive. It is manufactured by Maibatsu in GTA IV.

Performance

Acceleration and speed are competent, but unimpressive. The throaty engine sounds like a V6 and delivers sufficient torque, but this is unfortunately wasted on the front-wheel drivetrain. Handling is mushy, and the car suffers from understeer, but the brakes are quite good. The overall performance of the car is inferior to that of the Sentinel, which is also based off of another BMW model. However, the Vincent is relatively well-constructed, enabling it to withstand a fair amount of damage.

GTA IV features two versions of the Vincent. The LX2007 version occurs frequently and sometimes more often than the normal version. The LX2007 has a hood scoop, a small spoiler and side skirts. There is no performance difference between the two. After collecting all thirty cars for Stevie he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Vincent fetching $2,000.
