The Maibatsu Thunder is a vehicle mentioned in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City's radio stations.
Description
Unlike other Maibatsu counterparts, very little is known about the Thunder, as its sole advertisement simply consists of empty sloganeering (accompanied by a woman whispering occasional innuendo) with only a brief mention of the car's features and technical details, vaguely implying a questionably powerful engine ("the power of a compact").
Typical to Maibatsu vehicles prior to Grand Theft Auto IV, the Thunder is only featured in advertising, mainly on radio stations, but not on the road.

Trivia
- There are a few possibilities that the car maybe based off from the commercial:
- Because of its references to compact cars with fuel injection, it is possible that it is based on the 1983-1987 Mitsubishi Colt or the 1971-1980 Ford Pinto.
- It may also refer to Japanese compact sports cars of the 1980s, mainly the Mitsubishi Starion or Mazda RX-7, as both cars appear during the era and starts gaining popularity over its American rivals during the era.
- The radio ad is featured on the Wildstyle CD included in the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Official Soundtrack Box Set.
