The Bickle'76 is a vehicle featured in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
Design
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
The Bickle'76 is a modified Taxi, which is visually distinguishable by its supercharger and its solid grille (as opposed to the standard 'egg-crate' grille seen on regular Taxis, giving the vehicle a passing resemblance to the 1992-93 Ford Crown Victoria), as well as a pair of fuzzy dice hanging from its rear view mirror. Occasionally, the vehicle will spawn without a taxi sign on the roof, resulting in a much sportier look.
The vehicle is seen in a red primary paint for the body and a grey secondary paint for the bumpers, and is decorated with checkered-pattern stripes on the sides. In the mobile version, these stripes are not present.
Performance
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
Superior to its stock counterpart, the Bickle has what appears to be a supercharger intake mounted on the hood. It possesses excellent acceleration and top speed due to the fitting of a supercharger, and the amount of power gained through such air compressor means the vehicle is converted to a RWD car, rather than FWD like the Taxi. The immense gain in power compensates for bad handling which is evidently caused by the lack of weight the car should have and a suitable steering radius.
The vehicle is powered by a diesel engine (in contrast with the petrol engine of the regular Taxi), coupled to a five-speed gearbox. Its engine sound is also louder, being identical to the one used by the Leone Sentinel.

Trivia
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
