Not to be confused with Peyote Plants.
The Vapid Peyote is a two-door 1950s vintage luxury coupe featured in Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and Grand Theft Auto V.
Design
The chassis mainly resembles a Ford Thunderbird (first generation) but it has double taillights instead of single ones, giving the rear end a similar appearance to Cadillacs from the early '60s (1961, 1963). The headlights are loosely based from a 1966 or 1967 Pontiac GTO with bigger lights and somewhat altered headlight bezels to fit into the styling of the mid-1950s era; there are other vehicles with similar headlights but they still look closer to the Pontiac's.
The Peyote is available in coupe and convertible forms, as well as occasionally appearing with a continental kit (a rear-mounted spare tire), or tiger/zebra skin patterns on the seats and a pair of black fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror. The badging on sides read "V10 supercharged," but the engine actually has eight cylinders. The Peyote in GTA Chinatown Wars is permanently depicted as a softtop coupe with a continental kit.
Performance
The performance of the Peyote is below average in comparison to other cars of similar size in the game, however it tops the top speed leaderboard for the "vintage" class in a multiplayer race. The vehicle has a powerful engine that is able to provide both good acceleration and top speed 166 mph (267 kph). Its long wheelbase and small tires also result in poor cornering and stability, often requiring the aid of the handbrake to make moderately sharp turns. At its top speed the Peyote handles badly but if turned just slightly it will not spin.
ABS is fitted, but instead of the brakes locking up, the car will still slide. Minor use when in motion is acceptable, but attempting to bring the car to a halt can be difficult. When braking downhill (such as exiting off-ramps), the driver learns to stand on the brakes for quite a distance before the desired stopping point.
Variants
In Grand Theft Auto V, there are unique modified Peyotes belonging to the Los Santos Vagos, Families, and Ballas gangs. These gang variants feature dechromed front & rear bumper with spare wheel, a lead sled grille, cowl induction hood, big worm lowrider wheels, curb feelers, chrome tipped exhaust, "Low Santos" lowrider plaque, zebra interior with black fuzzy dice, and competition suspension. Gang members will open fire on the player if he/she attempts to steal one of their cars. If Franklin steals a Families Peyote, he will be ignored.
There's also a unique pink Peyote that can be found in the random event Car Robbery 1. Just recover the car from the robber and take the car away instead of returning it to the owner.

Trivia
General
- "Peyote" is the real-life common name of a North American breed of cactus famous for its powerful psychoactive properties. A badge emblazoned with an image of the peyote cactus is placed on side of the hardtop variant's rear pillars.
- Despite having two textures of its "V10 supercharged" badge for each side, the text is mistakenly mirrored on one side.
- A Rockstar Games emblem can be seen on Peyotes with zebra seats.
- The default radio stations for the Peyote are:
- GTA IV: IF99 - International Funk or K109 The Studio.
- Episodes from Liberty City: K109 The Studio or Vice City FM.
- GTA V: Blue Ark FM.
- The Peyote looks similar to a car driven by Al McWhiggin, the secondary antagonist of the 1999 DisneyĀ·Pixar movie, Toy Story 2.
GTA IV & Episodes
- Police radio chatter may occasionally refer the car as a "jalopy" in GTA IV. The same goes for any beater variant of the cars, like Emperor, Vigero etc.
- After collecting all thirty cars for Stevie, he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Peyote fetching $2,500.
- This car is never locked when parked because there are no side windows present. The same applies to the Feltzer and the Banshee.
- Some auto parts shops and Pay'n'Sprays have spare front bumpers for Peyote's laying outside or leaning against walls.
GTA V & Online
- One of the modifications of the Peyote includes a pair of fuzzy dice on the mirror, just like the Yardie Lobo from Grand Theft Auto III and the Bickle'76 from Grand Theft Auto:Liberty City Stories, this is the third car in the series to feature a pair of fuzzy dice on the mirror.
- However, the pair of Fuzzy Dice was removed in the enhanced version.
- The gang modified Peyote convertible nets the player $12,950 in Los Santos Customs, having a higher selling price than the gang modified Tornado in GTA Online.
