The V8 Ghost is a sports coupe featured in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
Design[]
The V8 Ghost is designed as a low profile coupe with sports car-like characteristics, resembling a Lotus Esprit V8 with a different front. The car tends to come in one of two different color schemes, either assigning two colors for the body and trims (which is usually dark grey) or one color for both the body and trim. While the car can have a black trim in the PSP version, it cannot have a black trim in the Mobile Version.
Performance[]
In terms of performance, the V8 Ghost has a great speed which can be matched with the Stinger and the Cheetah. The car has a great handling, and has a decent durability, since it can take at least four major hits before smoke comes out of the hood. The only downside is that its braking is rather poor.
As suggested by its name, it is likely powered by a V8 engine.
