The Voodoo is a classic luxury two-door lowrider in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. It is manufactured by Declasse in the HD Universe.
Influence[]
3D Universe[]
With its panoramic windshield and distinctive tail fins, the Voodoo strongly resembles a 1959–1960 Chevrolet Impala. However, instead of the Impala's triple tail lights, the Voodoo uses double tail lights, like those seen on the fourth-generation Chevrolet Bel Air and 1960 Chevrolet Biscayne.
HD Universe[]
In the HD Universe, the Voodoo now assumes the design of the 1964 Chevrolet Impala, evident by its overall appearance, roofline, greenhouse area, bonnet, and front bumper. The rear of the car strongly resembles the 1960 Chevrolet Impala, as seen in the characteristic boot, which continues its body line up to the front of the car, trademark six tail lights divided by the plate holder, and chrome trim on the side, but without the characteristic side vent from the Impala. The trim on the boot, which is absent on the 1960 Impala, seems to be taken from the 1959 models. The rear bumper seems to be a mix of the 1964 Impala and the 1966 Impala models, while the tail lights' scale, placement, and their base are similar to the 1969 Impala models, albeit much simpler and oval in shape. The front grille and the headlights bear strong resemblance to the 1964 Rambler Classic.
Design[]
3D Universe[]
The Voodoo is easily recognisable by the circular headlights within the grille, with a trim detail surrounding them and a small bumper below. On the sides, a detail can be seen on the rear fenders, along with circular rear-view mirrors. The cabin is relatively large and the windshield reaches the roof level. The rear of the car has an indented trunk and flat panels housing the circular tail lights on the edges. There is a bumper with a concave portion on the center.
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the car is only available in red (with the exception of the unique black version seen in the mission Two Bit Hit), and has hydraulics instead of a horn. Because the Voodoo is classed as a gang car, it cannot be resprayed. However, in the beta version, a civilian version of the Voodoo appeared alongside a gang variant (known as the "Haitian Voodoo").
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, it is seen in many different colours. The fuel cap is located behind the rear license plate, and the car will explode if the licence plate is shot. Hydraulics can be installed, or some may spawn with them installed.
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the Voodoo has a distinctive, high-performance engine and the hydraulics are replaced by a horn, and it is usually found in either a pink or grey colour.
The car is often utilised as a gang car, first by the Haitians in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, then the Grove Street Families (and, in some missions, by the Ballas) in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
Design-wise, the Voodoo retains many of its visual cues and the two-door design from previous games, but the grille is narrower in comparison to the headlight sections, and the bumpers are larger and flatter, with bolt details on the upper side, vented sections, a front license plate and two rear square reverse lights. The windshield is at the same height as the other windows, the rearmost pillars are wider and the circular rear-view mirrors are mounted on the doors. It remains a lowrider, but it is classified as a muscle car in-game and, according to police radio chatter, bears the Declasse brand. It uses a unique interior with white leather and brown details.
All Voodoos feature "S.S." and "Limited Edition" badging, as well as a heart-shaped hood ornament. If the player looks carefully, they may notice a line through the center of the badge. This resembles a 'D', as in Declasse. Also, like many cars in the HD Universe, the Voodoo features a courtesy light which switches on when one of the doors is opened.
The Voodoo is seen with both mono-tone and two-tone body colors, with the primary one on the hood, pillars, roof and trunk, and a secondary one on the lower portions of the vehicle. An additional tertiary color is applied on the details of the vehicle, being bumpers, grille, mirrors, handles, trims and wheel rims. It uses a set of wired wheels with knock-off hub caps.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars[]
The Voodoo in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars with a design similar in design to the Grand Theft Auto IV Voodoo, but only available with a white-and-blue paint job.
The car appears to be used exclusively by local gangs (presumably the M.O.B., the North Holland Hustlers and the Jamaicans), appearing in territories under their control.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
The Voodoo re-appears in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, and is largely unchanged from Grand Theft Auto IV. However, it can only be found in a rusted condition, which cannot be rectified at mod shops or car washes, and it appears to have been debadged. Its interior is filthier in appearance, although its condition remains intact in contrast with some beaters.
Color distribution is the same as in GTA IV, but the tertiary color is absent, being replaced by a rusty chrome detail on the window trim, bumpers and details. The wheels retain the same wheel design, being a smaller derivative of the "Big Worm" lowrider rims available at Los Santos Customs and other mod shops.

Performance[]
3D Universe[]
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the Voodoo is moderately fast and agile, with smooth handling for a car of its size, and thanks to its low center of gravity, it will generally not flip unless the hydraulics are active. In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, however, the speed of the Voodoo is slower and it struggles to climb steep inclines. After a collision, it may take a while until the Voodoo gets going again, and the wide turning radius can make it difficult to perform fast turns.
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the engine of the Voodoo emits the same noise as the BF Injection. The engine appears to be turbocharged, though the performance appears to have been downgraded.
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, however, the Voodoo is an excellent car to drive. Though it lacks in acceleration, it has noticeably good front traction, allowing it to turn responsively and tightly. Coupled with the ABS systems which it has equipped in GTA San Andreas (which is odd for a car of its age), it handles corners very well, being able to brake and turn simultaneously, unlike most cars which almost immediately lock their wheels upon braking. The Voodoo is the second fastest vintage car in terms of top speed in GTA San Andreas, with its top speed being on par with the Sultan.

Grand Theft Auto IV[]
In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Voodoo is powered by a medium displacement V8 in an FR layout combined to a 5-speed automatic transmission. Unlike its previous appearances, the car is very heavy, giving it a very low center of gravity, but at the cost of a lethargic acceleration speed. Its weight and bulk, however, make it very resilient to accident deformation. Engine build however is somewhat poor as the Voodoo will begin smoking after 3 to 4 head on collisions. Also the Voodoo cannot perform a burnout, as attempting a burnout will cause the vehicle to slowly roll forward. Top speed is low and suspension is rather low, being a poor choice for uneven terrains. The Voodoo shares the same engine sound as the Patriot.

Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
The performance of the car in Grand Theft Auto V seems to have improved drastically over the Grand Theft Auto IV rendition, despite its rusty appearance, with good acceleration, top speed and cornering, and average brakes. The Voodoo is powered by the same medium displacement V8 in an FR layout, this time combined to a 4-speed gearbox.

Variants[]
Voodoo CustomGrand Theft Auto Online |
(Rear quarter view) |
The Voodoo Custom is a custom variant of the Voodoo exclusive for Grand Theft Auto Online, which features highly-advanced modifications and hydraulics enabled, not present on the standard Voodoo. |
Special Variants[]
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City[]
- In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, a unique black Voodoo appears during "Two Bit Hit" in a funeral gathering for the Haitian gang. As they arrive at the funeral, players may steal and store the Voodoo first before focusing on the target fleeing in a Romero. An alternative would be to snipe the driver of the Voodoo, kill the target before the chase goes too far from the Voodoo (the Minigun would be a great weapon to do this with), and then get in the Voodoo and quickly drive off to avoid the car being destroyed by gang members.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
- In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the Ballas use a unique pink Voodoo in the missions Sweet & Kendl and Drive-Thru. These are the only times the vehicle is used by the Ballas.
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
- In Grand Theft Auto IV, a special "Jamaican" Voodoo can be found cruising around the streets of Schottler, Beechwood City and Willis. It is distinguished by its black and green paint, with gold chrome. It also features twin side exhaust pipes, rear fender skirts and sound systems with amplifiers in the trunk (similar to the Spanish Lords Cavalcade), and is driven by members of the Jamaican Posse.
Standard Voodoos in GTA IV may also come with similar chrome parts as the Jamaican Voodoo. One Voodoo color scheme, a black and red combination, comes with gold chrome, while a dark candy red Voodoo (occasionally confused as being all-black) comes with duller bronze chrome parts. Although the former's overall coloration resembles the gang cars of the Spanish Lords, it is not affiliated with any gang.
In The Lost and Damned gang wars, the player can find Jamaican Voodoos identical to the GTA IV version, except by having both exhaust sets.
- Elizabeta Torres owns a unique Voodoo that sports a one-of-a-kind white and pink two-tone paint-job with chrome trim. The car can only be obtained in the mission "Have a Heart", where, it has a slight sag in the rear suspension due to its trunk being filled with two corpses. The only way to obtain it is to park it in the Bohan Safehouse parking space and fail the mission. Save the game and it will be there for the player to drive, though the bodies in the trunk will be gone.
- A unique Voodoo is requested by Stevie in Stevie's Car Thefts. It is parked in front of the LC24 Tower in East Island City, Dukes, and features an all emerald body with black chrome trim and wheels. The car can be taken and stored at a safehouse, as another Voodoo will respawn again at the LC24 Tower until the player delivers it to S&M Auto Sales.
- In The Ballad of Gay Tony, a black and white two-tone Voodoo with black rims and black chrome can be randomly found during the Drug Wars missions.
Prominent Appearances in Missions[]

Trivia[]
3D Universe[]
- Multiple Voodoos make a cameo appearance in Rockstar North's Manhunt 2, parked at the Red Light District.
- The name of the car could be derived from the Voodoo religion of Haiti, as it is used by the Haitians as a gang car. As well as its real-life counterpart the Chevrolet Biscayne, references Biscayne Bay, where the huge waterway between mainland Vice City and Vice Beach is based on.
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
- Voodoo wrecks can be found in the Acter Industrial Park.
- Despite lacking a B pillar, which would clearly distinguish the vehicle as a 2-door sedan, the police scanner often refers to the vehicle as a sedan. This is likely a developer oversight, likely on the relation of the vehicle's design to its intended body design.
- There is a visual glitch with the Voodoo. The Declasse logo hood ornament will become invisible when viewed at from behind any of its glass windows, damaged or undamaged, as long as they are not completely destroyed.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
- The car originally had a visual glitch with the headlights. When the headlights were switched on, the area between the two lights was lit up. This has been fixed.
- In last gen versions, the rust spots on the hood and trunk of the car are very poorly detailed when looked at closely through hood view or use of a sniper gun scope.
- Despite being a Declasse vehicle, the steering wheel in the enhanced version bears a Vapid logo.
- This was fixed in the Ill-Gotten Gains Part 1 update.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- Like many other vehicles, the Voodoo cannot be used in the Content Creator when making races, thus making it only usable in races if a player owns one.
