The Love Fist limousine is a customized limousines used by the Love Fist rock band in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

Design

The Love Fist is a heavily modified derivative of the game's Stretch limousine, being generally shorter and featuring aggressive modifications, such as a turbocharged engine and side-mounted exhaust pipes, as well as lacking the Stretch's trunk-mounted "boomerang" TV antennae and sunroof. The car is invariably painted red, as well as featuring a matching red interior and tinted windows around the rear compartment. The limo also features custom "LUVFIST" license plates, the earliest car in the series with a customized license plate.

Fitting for its appearance and the lifestyle of the band members that the limo is meant to cart around, the Love Fist possess superior performance over the Stretch, with better acceleration and speed, as well as slightly better corner due to its shorter wheelbase.

"Psycho Killer" involves the player having to lure out a would be killer for Love Fist by driving an empty Love Fist limo to a fan gathering. For "Publicity Tour", a crazed fan of Love Fist has placed a bomb in their limo, and has set it to go off should the car drop to a certain speed. Tommy must maintain the limo at near top-speed, while the drunken band attempt at length to defuse the bomb. The mission references "Speed", a movie where a bomb planted in a loaded bus will go off if its traveling speed goes below 50mph.

Locations
