The Uranus is redesigned for GTA IV, having been branded with a [[Vapid]] badge. This time, the car resembles a 1983-1986 [[wp:Ford Mustang (third generation)|Fox body Mustang]] (most likely a 1985/1986 because of the grille), with the front also bearing some similarities to a [[wp:Ford Sierra RS Cosworth|Ford Sierra RS Cosworth]], however the Uranus is front-wheel drive. The taillights look quite reminiscent of 1989-1994 [[wp:Pontiac Sunbird|Pontiac Sunbirds]]. | The Uranus is redesigned for GTA IV, having been branded with a [[Vapid]] badge.

A modified Uranus also driven by members of the [[Russian Mafia]] appears in [[Hove Beach]] with a custom bodykit including: rear window louvers, a "whale-tail" spoiler which pays homage to the spoiler on the [[wp:Ford Sierra RS Cosworth|Ford Sierra RS Cosworth]] (while emulating some Fox body Mustang spoilers), and a huge decal on the windshield which reads "LOZSPEED" (pronounced as "lose speed", obviously taking a hit at "ricers"); "LOZSPEED" is also a possible parody of Neuspeed, and could be referring to the "lose speed" and "new speed", which the names do sound when pronounced. The modified version lacks any enhanced performance over its stock counterpart.As a further hat tip to the Sierra RS Cosworth, the modified Uranus in GTA IV features a pink and grey [[wp:Burberry|Burberry-patterned]] baseball hat on the rear parcel ledge, paying homage to [[wp:Chav|"chavs"]]. | A modified Uranus also driven by members of the [[Russian Mafia]] appears in [[Hove Beach]] with a custom bodykit including: rear window louvers, a "whale-tail" spoiler which pays homage to the spoiler on the [[wp:Ford Sierra RS Cosworth|Ford Sierra RS Cosworth]] (while emulating some Fox body Mustang spoilers), and a huge decal on the windshield which reads "LOZSPEED" (pronounced as "lose speed", obviously taking a hit at "ricers"); "LOZSPEED" is also a possible parody of Neuspeed, and could be referring to the "lose speed" and "new speed", which the names do sound when pronounced.
