The Vapid Speedo is a windowless cargo van featured in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Description
Despite Vapid being GTA's rendition of Ford, the van resembles a 2003-present Chevrolet Express van but the front and back ends have been slightly altered. The badge on the rear reads Vapid ST. The Speedo features various company names, such as Deliver Me Timbers, Easy Lay Carpet, Hello Tailor and Nonna Pina's Restaurant.
The vehicle is quite agile, thanks to its adapted suspension and weightless rear end. Powersliding is quite easy in this vehicle; however, in Liberty City's hilly terrain the Speedo is prone to bouncing about more frequently than other vehicles of its size. The engine is strong, powered by what feels like a high-torque V8 diesel in a rear-wheel drive layout; leading to acceptable acceleration and a reasonable top speed. Anti-lock brakes are an available option, but are not standard. The Speedo is, the after the Burrito, the |second-fastest vehicle in the "van" classification, attaining a maximum of 145mph, but it is the most maneuverable.
This vehicle cannot be taken to a Car Wash, but can be resprayed at a Pay 'n' Spray. After collecting all thirty cars for Stevie, he may also agree to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Speedo fetching $2,000.
