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.
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.
