The | The GTA IV rendition of the Fortune is manufactured by [[Vapid]]; and while the body shape is still based off the 90s Thunderbird, the front end detailing is from a 1997/1998 Nissan 240SX (the taillights don't really look similar though). After collecting all thirty cars for [[Stevie]] he agrees to purchase cars from [[Niko Bellic]], with the Fortune fetching $1,600. | ||

Acceleration and speed are well above average, but not overly impressive with the front-engine, rear-wheel drivetrain, likely powered by a relatively small V6. Handling is satisfactory, although understeer is evident. The brakes are strong, but the E-brake tends to throw the car into an uncontrollable slide around corners, even at lower speeds. The car pretty much drives like the real Thunderbird from the 1990s even though the car has a V6 or a V8 engine. Even the V8 ones are slow because they are underpowered (140 hp for the 3.8L V6, 215 hp for the 4.6L V8 and 230 for the 5.0L V8) and are very heavy (3700-4100 lbs). | Acceleration and speed are well above average, but not overly impressive with the front-engine, rear-wheel drivetrain, likely powered by a relatively small V6.
