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 [[wp:Mercury Eight|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.

The Hermes is a customized late 1940s; early 1950s coupe available in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories.

Description

Design

The Hermes, appearing as a two-door coupe, is distinguishable by its large body but seemingly small occupant visibility. The Hermes is based on a 1949/1950 Mercury Custom (judging by the taillights), the car is evidently modified with its roof chopped down, enhancing the vehicle's lead sled-like appearance; compared to the '49 and '50 Mercuries, it has an additional pair of taillights. It is unusual in that it has front wheel drive (very rare in American cars of the period) and it cannot be blown up with a gas-cap shot like most cars in GTA San Andreas.

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.

Customization in GTA San Andreas

The Hermes can be modified at a TransFender, but is only offered a bare minimum of modification options:
