Template:Infobox vehicles
The Hearse is a drivable sedan/station wagon-based hearse featured in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. The car is closely related to the Romero's Hearse, also known simply as the Romero.
Description
Design
The design of the Hearse is as expected for a vehicle tailored to transport the deceased, appearing as a black station wagon-like car with a rear compartment designed to carry a coffin.
In GTA Liberty City Stories, the hearse is simply a modified GTA Liberty City Stories Perennial, but features a two-door design that allows the car to only carry the driver and a passenger in front as the rear has been adapted to hold the coffin. In addition, the Hearse in GTA Liberty City Stories may come with a coffin at the back (appearing with one of two different designs).

Performance
The performance of the Hearse in GTA Liberty City Stories is similar to Liberty City Stories' Perennial as both cars share the same body construction, thus possessing mediocre-to-average acceleration and top speed but responsive steering and braking.
The GTA Chinatown Wars rendition, however, is improved (being superior even to the GTA IV Romero) with better (but still average) acceleration and top speed, above average cornering, and average braking.
