Hermes: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 14:29, 31 October 2009

A Hermes in GTA Vice City (Rear quarter view).

The Hermes is a customized 1940s/1950s Mercury available in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, San Andreas and Vice City Stories.

Description

Design

The Hermes, appearing as a two-door coupe, is distinguishable by its large body but seemingly small occupant space. The car is evidently modified with its roof chopped down, enhancing the vehicle's hot rod-like appearance. The Hermes is based on a 1949-1951 Mercury Custom, but is unusual in that it has front wheel drive (unheard of in American cars of the period) and it can't be blown up with a gas-tank shot like most cars in GTA San Andreas. The rear of the car resembles a Fiat brava.

Performance

The car's performance could be described as average; its acceleration is underwhelming, but it has a moderate top speed. The car is also prone to understeer, owing to its size and small tires. As it only has two doors, the Hermes can only seat two.

Variant

In GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, a modified gang version of the car driven by the Cubans, dubbed the Cuban Hermes, is commonly spotted in Little Havana, Vice City.

Car modifications (GTA San Andreas)

The Hermes can only be modified at TransFender.

Color
Wheels (ten types)
Nitro (All)
Bass Boost
Hydraulics

Locations

In GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, the Hermes is commonly seen around Vice City. In GTA San Andreas, the Hermes is mostly a gang car for the Los Santos Vagos and the Varrios Los Aztecas, and as such, it can be seen on their respective turfs.
