The Voodoo is a lowrider in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, and Grand Theft Auto IV. It is used by the Haitians in Vice City, and in San Andreas it is used by the Grove Street Families (and, in some missions, by other gangs), it is especially favored for its low ground clearance, which allows for the wheels to be protected to an extent.

Design

GTA Vice City — GTA Vice City Stories

In GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas, with its panoramic windshield and distinctive sideways tail fins, the Voodoo strongly resembles a 1960 Chevrolet Impala. Where the Impala has triple-taillights, however, the Voodoo uses paired taillights, like those seen on the Chevrolet Bel Air and Biscayne.

In GTA Vice City the car is only available in red, with the exception of one black version seen in the mission Two Bit Hit), and has hydraulics instead of a horn. In GTA San Andreas, it is seen in many different colors. The fuel cap is behind the rear license plate of the car, and if it is shot, the car will explode. In GTA Vice City Stories, the Voodoo has a distinctive engine sound, and can be resprayed in different colors. The hydraulics are also replaced with a car horn.

GTA IV

In GTA IV, the Voodoo retains much of its visual cues from previous games, and, according to police radio chatter, bears the Declasse brand. It remains a lowrider, however hydraulics are no longer available. The car now has the Chevrolet Impala's trademark 6 tail lights, and its rear is still designed after the 1960 Impala, however the front of the car now resembles a modified '64 Impala, with echoes of the 1965 Rambler Classic and 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner. The roof and windows also resemble those of the '64 or '63 Impala. The Voodoo also has a chrome strip running down the trunk, as seen on 1959 Impalas, and is seen with both one-tone and two-tone body colors. All Voodoos feature "S.S." and "Limited Edition" badging, and have a heart-shaped hood ornament.

There is a special "Jamaican Flag" (black and green with gold chrome) Voodoo that is driven by members of Little Jacob's posse. Black and red Voodoos with gold chrome are occasionally seen on the streets; although their overall coloration resembles the gang cars of the Spanish Lords, these Voodoos are not affiliated with any gang.

Performance

In GTA Vice City Stories, the Voodoo's speed is slow, and it struggles to climb hills; after a collision, it may take a while until the Voodoo gets going again. In GTA San Andreas it is speedy, with smooth handling for a car of its size, and thanks to its low center of gravity, it will generally not flip unless the hydraulics are jacked up.


San Andreas Car Facts

  • Weight:1800.0 Kg
  • Speed:160.0 KPH / 99.36 MPH
  • Drive Layout: All Wheel Drive
  • Engine: Petrol
  • Damage: 41% out of 100
  • Extra: NPC Nuetral Handling, Hydraulics, Bright Lights.

In GTA IV, the Voodoo still has a low center of gravity, but is much slower (one of the slowest-accelerating cars in the game), heavier, and less maneuverable. Its weight and bulk, however, make it resilient to damage.

Modifications (GTA San Andreas)

Modification of the Voodoo in GTA San Andreas can only be performed at Loco Low Co. Like the Tahoma, the Voodoo's choices of customization is far more limited than most other lowriders.

The modifications include:

  • Colors (Only one, for the body color ($150).)
  • Wheels (Four types: Twist ($1,200), Wire ($1,560), Virtual ($620) and Access ($1,140).)
  • Bass Boost ($100)
  • Hydraulics ($1,500)
  • Nitrous (Three types: 2x ($100), 5x ($500) and 10x ($1,000).)
