The [[Bravado]] '''Feroci''' (pronounced fer-otch-ee) is a four door sedan in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]].

The Feroci seems to adopt design cues from numerous cars, such as the [[wp:Lexus GS#First generation .281991-1996.29|first generation Lexus GS (1991-1996)]] with headlights from a [[wp:Lexus ES#Second generation (VCV10)|second generation Lexus ES]]. The lower portions of the sides share a somewhat similar design with a [[wp:Cadillac Catera|Cadillac Catera]]. The basic car features a 3.0l V6 badge. Standard Ferocis are seen all over [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]], but most commonly in [[Algonquin]].

The basic car features a 3.0l V6 badge. A standard Feroci can be found at any district, at any part of [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]], though it's commonly found in [[Algonquin]].

=== Performance ===
A more highly modified version called the Feroci JDM VIP (though the game still refers it as a Feroci if the player enters it) is driven by the [[Algonquin Triads|Triads]] and can be found around [[The Exchange]] or [[Chinatown, Algonquin|Chinatown]]. It's changes include a yellow [[wp:Chinese knotting|Chinese knotting]] attached to the rear mirror, gold rims, a chin spoiler with body kit, and a slightly modified engine; giving it faster acceleration. The JDM VIP Feroci is primarily painted cobalt blue (although if the player resprays it, it can be painted in a different colour).
The standard Feroci is powered by a 3-liter V6, coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in RWD configuration. Acceleration is acceptable, but not exceptional. Top speed is decent, reaching 145 km/h (90 mph). Handling is good for this sort of car, but it comes at a cost for ride quality. Its firm suspension tune jars over every bump, making this car quite uncomfortable. Braking is acceptable, and ABS is available but not standard. Crash deformation is acceptable, and the engine can sustain many direct hits before catching fire.


The JDM label adds proof the Feroci is a [[Japan]]ese car.

The JDM VIP variant of the Feroci (technically a different vehicle by game files) includes a slightly higher-revving engine, giving it a faster off the line time than the standard model. Top speed has been upgraded as well, making the JDM VIP type brisk and enjoyable. Handling has also been upgraded, keeping the JDM VIP edition flat and level in the corners, while the suspension has been firmed up slightly. Braking is very good, and ABS is standard. Crash deformation is about the same, average. The engine is also about the same as the standard model, average.

The Bravado Feroci (pronounced fer-otch-ee) is a four door sedan in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Description

Design

The Feroci seems to adopt design cues from numerous cars, such as the first generation Lexus GS (1991-1996) with headlights from a second generation Lexus ES. The lower portions of the sides share a somewhat similar design with a Cadillac Catera. The basic car features a 3.0l V6 badge. Standard Ferocis are seen all over Liberty City, but most commonly in Algonquin.

Performance

The standard Feroci is powered by a 3-liter V6, coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in RWD configuration. Acceleration is acceptable, but not exceptional. Top speed is decent, reaching 145 km/h (90 mph). Handling is good for this sort of car, but it comes at a cost for ride quality. Its firm suspension tune jars over every bump, making this car quite uncomfortable. Braking is acceptable, and ABS is available but not standard. Crash deformation is acceptable, and the engine can sustain many direct hits before catching fire.

Variants

JDM VIP

A modified version, the Feroci JDM VIP, is driven by the Triads, and can be found around The Exchange or Chinatown. These sport gold rims, a chin spoiler with body kit, and a Chinese knotting attached to the rear view mirror. The JDM VIP Feroci is usually painted cobalt blue although it can be resprayed any color. The JDM VIP is still referred to as "Feroci" when entered by the player.

JDM stands for Japan Domestic Market, and VIP is a common Japanese label for luxury cars, suggesting a Japanese car; like all Ferocis, however, it is branded as a Bravado, the GTA IV equivalent of the American Dodge Motor Company. Presumably the Feroci is a captive import, a foreign vehicle sold by a domestic manufacturer.

FlyUS variant

FlyUS, the fictional airline featured in GTA IV, use the Feroci as their company car. FlyUS Ferocis have FlyUS livery, a roof-mounted light and black stock rims shared from the Declasse Taxi. They are commonly found at Francis International Airport in Dukes.

The FlyUS variant is only cosmetically distinct from the ordinary Feroci, lacking the "Feroci" badges in front and at the back, and possesses identical performance.
