[[File:Romero_(GTA2)_(Larabie).jpg|thumb|Ray Larabie's original design.]]


In its original appearance in GTA 2, the Romero assumes the design of a two-door hardtop coupe, distinguished by its bubble-like windscreens and triangular windows in the rear. The Romero name is likely a play on [[wp:Alfa Romeo|Alfa Romeo]], with its design taking after 1950s Alfa Romeo designs (see the [http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1955-Alfa-Romeo-Bertone-BAT-9.htm 1955 Alfa Romeo BAT 9 concept car]). [[Ray Larabie]]'s [http://nl.wikigta.org/wiki/Ray_Larabie%27s_voertuigen_(GTA2) early iteration of the vehicle] exhibits a more original design.

Despite its somewhat sporty design, the GTA 2 rendition's controls are delayed, resulting in sluggish cornering, and its acceleration and top speed may be regarded as below average. When [[Crusher|crushed]], the Romero will award the player [[Body Armor|armor]] when in the Downtown District, or [[Molotov Cocktail|Molotov cocktails]] in the Industrial District.
