 The '''Virgo''' is a two-door car featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]].
 ==Design==
 === GTA Vice City — GTA Vice City Stories ===
-Between GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, the Virgo is depicted as a luxury two-door American coupe, resembling a [[wp:Mercury Cougar#Fourth generation .281977-79.29|1977–1979 Mercury Cougar]], combined with a [[wp:Lincoln Continental Mark V|1977-1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V]]. The side windows, front end and bulge on the trunk resemble the Cougar; the taillights resemble those of the Continental Mark V, albeit with some lights missing. In terms of color choices, the Virgo may come with a variety of colors for the [[wp:Vinyl roof|vinyl landau]] depending on the body color, including black, brown, cream, white, or in GTA Vice City Stories' case, the same matching color as the body's.

+In GTA IV, the Virgo (with a [[Dundreary]] brand) has its main influences swapped, resembling more closely a 1977-1979 Mark V (minus the [[:wp:opera window|opera windows]]) with only headlights more similar to a 1977-1979 Cougar. The taillights are reminiscent of a 1979 Ford Thunderbird, the rear is also quite similar to the [[Remington]] from GTA San Andreas.

-In the [[GTA III era]], the Virgo possesses generally average performance credentials, with moderate acceleration, responsive steering, and a mediocre top speed.  Its weight and crash endurance are unremarkable.

+In GTA IV, [[Little Jacob]] drives a uniquely colored maroon-and-black Virgo which he uses [[Gun Car|to deal and transport firearms from the trunk]]. Little Jacob's Virgo is available to the player in "[[Concrete Jungle]]" and "[[Russian Revolution]]." In both missions, the player can take it to his parking space and complete the mission in another car. Little Jacob's Virgo is also seen at the unnamed [[Suffolk]] church in "[[Mr and Mrs Bellic]]", but is unobtainable as the game triggers a cutscene when the player nears the car.
-Little Jacob's Virgo is available to the player in the beginning of "[[Concrete Jungle]]". Niko is able to take it to his parking lot and do the mission in another car. Another mission when you can obtain Little Jacob's Virgo, is when you have escaped the cops in "[[Russian Revolution]]", you can drive to your safehouse, and complete the mission in another vehicle.
+The one Jacob has when the player buys weapons from him is locked, but it can be obtained. When you arrive at Jacobs location, immediately kill him, then push the car to a safehouse. Jacob will call a while later to ask you to pick him up from the hospital. However, there is another way that is harder to do. If you buy guns from him, and he gets back in the car, follow him and keep ramming the car. If you get lucky, the car's engine will stall, and not catch fire. Jacob will then just get out of the car. It is recommended to push it to a safehouse with a [[Firetruck]] as the car is not very durable, and the hose can put out the fire if it catches on fire. This way, you won't have to pick Jacob up from the hospital.
-Niko can also find Little Jacob's Virgo at a an unnamed church in [[Suffolk]] in the mission "[[Mr and Mrs Bellic]]". However it is unobtainable, as when the player gets close to the car, it triggers a cutscene.

-* The abovementioned beta model for GTA Vice City was called the "Cougar", further indicating that the vehicle is based on a Mercury Cougar.
