F620: Difference between revisions

(The Ferrari's "rumored" codename is definitely coincidental; unlikely anyone at a major car maker cares about some insignificant video game. And the fact it's specified to be a "rumor" just makes that trivia even less reliable.)

The Ocelot F620 is a sports car featured in Grand Theft Auto IV's The Ballad of Gay Tony DLC.

Description

Design

The F620 is apparently an incorporation of several sports cars: most notably the Maserati GranTurismo and the X150 Jaguar XK, featuring the front fascia and overall body shape of the GranTurismo, and the rear fascia of the XK. The F620 is additionally similar in appearance to the Super GT, and as they both share design cues from the GranTurismo; the F620 also shares the Super GT's interior, including sport seats finished in black leather, aluminum-finished center console and timepiece, and also the Super GT 5-speed gated shifter (although the F620 has a 6-speed gearbox). The side vents of the F620 are similar to those of the Mercedes SLR McLaren and the SLS AMG.

Although the car lacks any badging, billboards in Star Junction suggest that its manufacturer is Ocelot, which seems to be the GTA rendition of Jaguar, since both names are species of cat. As a nod to Jaguar, the F620 can be painted in British Racing Green.

Performance

The F620 is powered by a turbocharged V-10 engine mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. The F620 is a surprisingly fast car, and is classified as a supercar. However, unlike most of the supercars, its engine is located at the front, and also has a high-pitched exhaust note, which means the power plant likely has a small displacement. And, like the Infernus, Banshee, and Sultan RS, the F620 lets out quick bursts of flames from its exhaust when switching gears. The engine's turbo whistle can also be heard at higher RPMs.

The F620 is prone to spinning out more so than the Super GT, and actually feels lighter than its counterpart. This makes the car difficult to handle at times, especially when bumping into objects at high speed. The suspension is low and very firm, braking is impressive, and ABS is standard across the line.
