The Maibatsu Monstrosity, manufactured by Maibatsu Corporation (a parody of Mitsubishi and Zaibatsu conglomerates in general), is a massive SUV that is mentioned in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto IV.
Description
The Monstrosity is touted to be a monster truck size SUV with an extraordinarily low MPG rating. (GTA III ads claim it only gets 3 miles to the gallon). Though it is not seen in any of the games (the Monster in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas presumably being the closest in size to the Monstrosity), it is a focal point of radio ads, with many deriding it for its size, fuel consumption, the propensity for children to become lost in the back seat, and danger to pedestrians, as well as to the environment.
It remains to be seen whether the Monstrosity will make an appearance in future GTA games. The advertisement for the Monstrosity differed in the American and European handbooks; the American advertisement uses an image of the Landstalker from GTA III as the "Monstrosity", whereas the European advertisement has a monster truck based on a 1999-2004 Ford F-250 regular cab. The name could be a reference to the Mitsubishi Montero.
