A Rhapsody in The Lost and Damned (Rear quarter view).

The Declasse Rhapsody is a two-door hatchback, first appearing in Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned.

Description

The sides and rear of the Rhapsody resembles an AMC Pacer manufactured in the 1970s, while the front bears similarities to quite a few vehicles, for example, the Volkswagen Golf, the Isuzu Gemini, and the Honda Civic.

The car handles similarly to the Blista Compact, although the Rhapsody is a rear-wheel drive (as opposed to the Blista Compact's front-wheel drive) with more reasonable torque that minimizes burnouts as power is applied to the power train. The car's top speed is also lower.

Trivia

  • The Rhapsody shares its interior with the Stallion, like the Regina, with the Rhapsody badge stamped on the dashboard and doors; as such, the steering wheel on the Rhapsody bears Classique's logo rather than Declasse's.
