||
+ | The '''Romero Hearse''' is a vehicle which first appeared in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]'' as the '''Romero's Hearse'''. The name was shortened to '''Romero''' in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'' and ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'', and in ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'', it was renamed the '''Romero Hearse'''. It is manufactured by [[Albany]] in ''GTA IV'' and [[Chariot]] in ''GTA V.'' |

||
+ | {{Quote|Funeral director's vehicle. Possibly used as cover.|''GTA Vice City'' Website}}The design of Romero's Hearse in ''Grand Theft Auto: Vice City'' 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. It resembles an '80s Buick Superior Hearse (in turn based on a {{WP|Buick Electra|1977–1984 Buick Electra}}), and appears to be kind of a station wagon version of the Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. The car does not seem to be based on any particular model, loosely sharing cues from cars like the [[Regina]] and the [[Greenwood]]. The vehicle features a set of rear doors intended for the loading of the coffin on the back, as well as an extended roof and side decorations on the separations of the door windows and on the rear sections. The rear end has vertical tail lights in a similar way to the [[Perennial]]. The car may have a coffin at the back (appearing with one of two or three different designs), and may spawn in black or in four shades of grey. |
||
+ | In ''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'', it resembles a late {{URL|http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2010/10/corpseside-classic-1970-cadillac-hearse/|'70s Cadillac hearse}}, and the design leans more towards the [[Regina]], but still has unique features to distinct it from other standard cars. The rear section is largely similar to the ''GTA Vice City'' rendition in terms of layout and features, but the rear wheels are partially covered by the bodywork and has smaller tail lights. Despite having rear door handles, the car lacks any sort ofopenable rear doors, as there are no gaps. It sports a wider range of colors for the body as primary and roof as secondary (although generally maintain dark tones). |
||
− | The '''Romero''' is a two-door sports car that first appeared in ''[[Grand Theft Auto 2]]''. The name was then applied to a hearse in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]'', ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'' and ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]''. |
||
+ | ===''Grand Theft Auto IV''=== |
||
− | ==Description== |
||
+ | The HD universe rendition of the Romero is built on the [[Washington]] chassis, and as such, bears the [[Albany]] brand. The front is evidently the same as the Washington's, sharing the same grille placements, headlights and the Albany ornament on the hood. The sides retain the chrome details passing through the doors, but the original plastic details from the Washington were replaced by chrome ones on the bottom sides and the greenhouse area, alomg with side lights on the rear quarters. As expected from a hearse, the Romero has an additional set of rear doors with curtain textures inside, an extended roof and the decorations around the back section. The rear end of the car features a single rear door that hinges from the driver side and is fitted with curtain textures inside, as well as a set of red lights on the outer edges and white vertical lights on the bumper, beside the license plate. The vehicle has a unique dark purple interior. |
||
− | ===''Grand Theft Auto 2''=== |
||
− | In its original appearance in ''Grand Theft Auto 2'', the Romero assumes the design of a two-door hardtop coupe, distinguished by its bubble-like windscreens and triangular windows in the rear. [[Ray Larabie]]'s original version exhibits a more original design. |
||
+ | Unlike former renditions, the vehicle no longer spawns with a coffin on the back (aside from the mission [[Undertaker]], which is an actual prop rather than an extra), and only spawns in black. The Romero shares the same rims of the Washington, but has whitewall tires. |
||
− | Despite its somewhat sporty design, the ''Grand Theft Auto 2'' rendition's controls are delayed, resulting in sluggish cornering, and its acceleration and top speed may be regarded as below average. When [[Crusher|crushed]], the Romero will award the player [[Body Armor|armor]] when in the Downtown District, or [[Molotov Cocktail|Molotov cocktails]] in the Industrial District. |
||

||
+ | The Romero reappears unchanged in ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'' and ''[[Grand Theft Auto Online]]'', though the cross decorations were removed. While it seems to retain the rear doors, they are actually part of the bodywork, therefore uninteractive in any way. |

||
+ | In the original versions of the game, the Romero retained the dark purple color. In the [[Grand Theft Auto V#Enhanced and PC Versions|enhanced version]], however, the interior is black like many other vehicles. The rear of the vehicle remains purple, however. |
||
− | ===''Grand Theft Auto: Vice City'' — ''Grand Theft Auto IV''=== |
||
− | ====Name==== |
||
− | ''Grand Theft Auto: Vice City'' featured a hearse named '''Romero's Hearse''' and in ''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'' and ''Grand Theft Auto: IV'', this was shortened to '''Romero'''. |
||
+ | The Romero Hearse uses the [[Schafter]] interior, unlike the [[Washington]] which uses the generic "Police/Taxi" interior. |
||
− | The Romero name was probably reused for hearses in reference to [[wp:George A. Romero|George A. Romero]], the director of the ''Night of the Living Dead'' series of zombie movies. Within ''Grand Theft Auto: Vice City'', the car name is also associated with the [[Funeraria Romero]] funeral parlor, which features two Romero's Hearse parked out front in the mission [[Two Bit Hit]]. |
||
+ | Unlike in ''GTA IV'', the Romero will spawn either with an empty back, a coffin or a coffin with wreaths. The vehicle is only available in a single body color, though the color of the stitching matches with the body. It retains the same wheel design as the Washington, although it lack the whitewall details on the tires. |
||
− | Due to the recurrence of hearses since ''Grand Theft Auto: Vice City'', the differently named [[Hearse]] in ''Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories'' and ''Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars'' may be confused with the Romero's Hearse. |

||
+ | In ''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'', the vehicle is almost an amalgamation of all the least desirable characteristics in a car. Its engine is weak, with poor acceleration, low top speed, and low durability. Its suspension is soft and very low, sometimes leading to the chassis scraping the ground from a fall (This problem can be fixed by modifying it with [[Hydraulics]] at any [[Transfender]] shop, and locking the hydraulics on 'High' mode). Its brakes are weak, and its wheels do not lock up when braking. |

Performance of the Romero in ''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'' is even worse, as the car is only capable of mediocre top speeds, and features weak brakes. The ''Grand Theft Auto IV'' Romero retains the adequate handling of the Washington, but has inferior acceleration and top speed due of 138 mph to the added weight of the wagon body. |
||
All renditions of the hearse are only capable of carrying two occupants, despite featuring two back doors in most cases. The ''Grand Theft Auto: Vice City'' rendition is an exception, being capable of holding four occupants. |

− | In ''Grand Theft Auto: Vice City'', Romero's Hearse is only available in the mission "[[Two Bit Hit]]" but it can be spawned through [[cheats]]. In ''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'', however, the Romero can be found outside missions, for example at the [[Blackfield Chapel]] in [[Las Venturas]] or at the [[Angel Pine Medical Center]]. |
||
+ | The Romero retains the adequate handling of the Washington, but has inferior acceleration and top speed due to the added weight of the wagon body. Suspension is average on the front, but rather low on the rear because of the extra weight, which causes certain difficulty on curbs or bumpy terrain when reversing the vehicle. |
||
+ | Like the Washington, the Romero is powered by a single-cam V8 engine, coupled to a five-speed gearbox in a front engine, rear wheel drive layout. The engine appears to have four small pipes on the vehicle's passenger side, but only three on the vehicle's driver side (with the fourth one seemingly hidden within the engine bay texture). The engine sound is shared with the Washington and other luxury cars, being low-revving and smooth. |

+ | The Romero Hearse retains some of its handling elements from its appearance in ''GTA IV''. However, its top speed has been improved. Once close to or at its top speed, the Romero Hearse can gain enough momentum to push through obstacles and roadblocks relatively easy. The vehicle's performance still remains below average but acceptable for its size and purpose. |

For the sports car featured in Grand Theft Auto 2, see Romero.
The Romero Hearse is a vehicle which first appeared in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City as the Romero's Hearse. The name was shortened to Romero in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV, and in Grand Theft Auto V, it was renamed the Romero Hearse. It is manufactured by Albany in GTA IV and Chariot in GTA V.
Design
3D Universe
The design of Romero's Hearse in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City 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. It resembles an '80s Buick Superior Hearse (in turn based on a 1977–1984 Buick Electra), and appears to be kind of a station wagon version of the Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. The car does not seem to be based on any particular model, loosely sharing cues from cars like the Regina and the Greenwood. The vehicle features a set of rear doors intended for the loading of the coffin on the back, as well as an extended roof and side decorations on the separations of the door windows and on the rear sections. The rear end has vertical tail lights in a similar way to the Perennial. The car may have a coffin at the back (appearing with one of two or three different designs), and may spawn in black or in four shades of grey.
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, it resembles a late '70s Cadillac hearse, and the design leans more towards the Regina, but still has unique features to distinct it from other standard cars. The rear section is largely similar to the GTA Vice City rendition in terms of layout and features, but the rear wheels are partially covered by the bodywork and has smaller tail lights. Despite having rear door handles, the car lacks any sort ofopenable rear doors, as there are no gaps. It sports a wider range of colors for the body as primary and roof as secondary (although generally maintain dark tones).
Grand Theft Auto IV
The HD universe rendition of the Romero is built on the Washington chassis, and as such, bears the Albany brand. The front is evidently the same as the Washington's, sharing the same grille placements, headlights and the Albany ornament on the hood. The sides retain the chrome details passing through the doors, but the original plastic details from the Washington were replaced by chrome ones on the bottom sides and the greenhouse area, alomg with side lights on the rear quarters. As expected from a hearse, the Romero has an additional set of rear doors with curtain textures inside, an extended roof and the decorations around the back section. The rear end of the car features a single rear door that hinges from the driver side and is fitted with curtain textures inside, as well as a set of red lights on the outer edges and white vertical lights on the bumper, beside the license plate. The vehicle has a unique dark purple interior.
Unlike former renditions, the vehicle no longer spawns with a coffin on the back (aside from the mission Undertaker, which is an actual prop rather than an extra), and only spawns in black. The Romero shares the same rims of the Washington, but has whitewall tires.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online
The Romero reappears unchanged in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, though the cross decorations were removed. While it seems to retain the rear doors, they are actually part of the bodywork, therefore uninteractive in any way.
In the original versions of the game, the Romero retained the dark purple color. In the enhanced version, however, the interior is black like many other vehicles. The rear of the vehicle remains purple, however.
The Romero Hearse uses the Schafter interior, unlike the Washington which uses the generic "Police/Taxi" interior.
Unlike in GTA IV, the Romero will spawn either with an empty back, a coffin or a coffin with wreaths. The vehicle is only available in a single body color, though the color of the stitching matches with the body. It retains the same wheel design as the Washington, although it lack the whitewall details on the tires.

Performance
3D Universe
The Romero's Hearse in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is a car capable of high speeds, but suffers from poor steering due to its weight and long wheelbase.
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the vehicle is almost an amalgamation of all the least desirable characteristics in a car. Its engine is weak, with poor acceleration, low top speed, and low durability. Its suspension is soft and very low, sometimes leading to the chassis scraping the ground from a fall (This problem can be fixed by modifying it with Hydraulics at any Transfender shop, and locking the hydraulics on 'High' mode). Its brakes are weak, and its wheels do not lock up when braking.
All renditions of the hearse are only capable of carrying two occupants, despite featuring two back doors in most cases. The Grand Theft Auto: Vice City rendition is an exception, being capable of holding four occupants.

Grand Theft Auto IV
The Romero retains the adequate handling of the Washington, but has inferior acceleration and top speed due to the added weight of the wagon body. Suspension is average on the front, but rather low on the rear because of the extra weight, which causes certain difficulty on curbs or bumpy terrain when reversing the vehicle.
Like the Washington, the Romero is powered by a single-cam V8 engine, coupled to a five-speed gearbox in a front engine, rear wheel drive layout. The engine appears to have four small pipes on the vehicle's passenger side, but only three on the vehicle's driver side (with the fourth one seemingly hidden within the engine bay texture). The engine sound is shared with the Washington and other luxury cars, being low-revving and smooth.

Grand Theft Auto V and Online
The Romero Hearse retains some of its handling elements from its appearance in GTA IV. However, its top speed has been improved. Once close to or at its top speed, the Romero Hearse can gain enough momentum to push through obstacles and roadblocks relatively easy. The vehicle's performance still remains below average but acceptable for its size and purpose.
Again, the car is powered by a single-cam V8 engine, coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in a front engine, rear wheel drive layout. Its engine sound is generally mid-revving and smooth, similar to the one on the Primo.

The Romero is one of the rarest vehicles in the game, being limited to a single appearance in the game:
- It can be obtained following the mission "Undertaker". After the final cutscene finishes, the player will spawn behind the Romero with a pedestrian driving it away. To obtain it, quickly shoot the pedestrian in the head to bring the Romero to a stop, then take it and store it at one of the numerous safehouses in Liberty City or Alderney. This Romero will spawn with bulletproof tires.
- Some mainly spawn in traffic, if already driving in one.

- Can be found on one of the Clubhouse Contracts missions Guns for Hire, namely the one at a funeral.
- Appears at the Hill Valley Church during a certain Special Cargo mission, in which Epsilon Program members at the graveyard have to be killed. This Romero itself cannot be stored, but can be used to spawn Romeros that can.
- After Heist Prep: Security Pass (Level 2) mission, the Hearse can be used as a "seed vehicle" to spawn another cars, but itself cannot be stored.

Trivia
General
- The Romero name is a reference to the late George A. Romero, the director of the Night of the Living Dead series of zombie movies.
- Romero is Spanish for "Rosemary".
- The Romero Hearse is called the 钢骨灵车/鋼骨靈車 or Steel-boned Hearse in the international Chinese release of GTA V.
- The Romero is generally depicted with four passenger doors, despite being able to carry only two people (with the exception of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City). Most real-life hearses utilise the rear doors as a means of loading the coffin.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
- If one manages to get a passenger to sit in the back of the Romero, they will sit inside the coffin.
Grand Theft Auto IV
- Just like the Washington, its base model, it features the door-ajar chime which can be heard with the door open and volume turned up.
- The Romero is one of only five cars to be called by their name in missions. The others are "The Silver Blista" in Clean Getaway, the "shitty beige Willard" from It's Your Call, the Police Stockade from Tunnel of Death, and Gracie Ancelotti's pink Feltzer.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online
- There is a wrecked Romero on a car jack in the La Mesa branch of Los Santos Customs.
- If the Romero is destroyed by explosives, the wreath that is on top of the coffin inside will remain undamaged.
- Despite being stated to be manufactured by Chariot, it still retains an Albany badge mounted on the hood bonnet, suggesting that Chariot is in fact a Coachbuilder firm.
Bugs/Glitches
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
- When the left light of the Romero is broken, it will still work, but the right (unbroken) light will not, and vice versa.
Grand Theft Auto IV
- The grille bezel is improperly textured, causing the left side to be colored red and the base to have a diamond-plated steel texture. This was fixed in Grand Theft Auto V.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online
- There is a small gap on the driver side of the rear compartment interior, allowing one to see the exterior. It is best seen with the Rockstar Editor camera.
