Gangster, Triad, Burrito, Mafia, Yakuza cars

[fantasywave]

I would like to make one in GT4, any ideas??? Any pictures???

 

[~Sp33~]

um.. are you talking about hybrid'ing or just taking a car and pimping it out (wheels spolier lowered etc...)

cant help you with the hybriding, but muh pimped volvo s60 looks nice 👍

EDIT: Black ofcourse....

 

[fantasywave]

I just want the looks.

Photographing gang car should be fun.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

It would help very much if you told us what you wanted in the first place ... and then maybe posted it in the Official Photomode Request Thread, because anyone seeing "burrito cars" would probably think of Mexican fod racing around the Nurburgring ...

 

[kennythebomb]

What is a triad, besides three musical notes or a set of three?

 

[wheelow]

Grand theft auto references. Triads and Yakuza are asian gangs. Burrito is the name of a vehicle in the series, one of the vans I think.

 

[Slippery]

Only one I can think off right now.

The Yakuza would be a gray miata with an spoiler.

 

[niky]

Yakuza? Black Tom's X450, if it comes in that color... but you have to change the mags.

Gangster is easy... 300C Hemi, anytime...

Mafia would be an E55...

Burrito? Does the SEAT Ibiza count?

 

[STiGoFLyBy]

Buffalo you mean? I don't recall a Burrito. Mafia would be an M5 probably or 330i.

Real life Yakuza drives black Japanese or German sedans. What do they drive in GTA?

 

[~Sp33~]

mafia definantly an m5... or bora.. it sounds whack but theyre a good chunky looking car. 👍



Theres muh mafia m5 ^^, waiting to do a driveby near you..lol

I want an old black 7 series with GT's trademark tinted windows. That's the ultimate Mafia car. Mafia wouldn't drive a BMW with a shopping trolley handle and chromies.

 

[~Sp33~]

ssh. ofcourse they would

 

[Crash]

Yakuzas and Triads are the Japanese and Chinese organized crime organizations respectively.

I would think the Yakuzas would use either Japanese or German car while Triads would use a German car. I always think the old Mercedes S-Class would fit these gangsters, or at least the bosses.

Well depending on which GTA title we're talking about here, I would say the Mafia ride Caddys or Lincolns. In GTA3 it looked like an STS to me. I always thought of the Yakuza car in GTA3 as a Porsche, though I doubt they drive these in RL. It's too damn fast to be a Miata, and what self-respecting gangster would be caught dead in a Miata anyway?

-Real life posers trying to look like Yakuza drive black sedans, real Yakuza try not to be stupidly obvious about who they are (...anymore). In GTA they have extrordinarly generic looking white and red 2 seater sports cars. I'd say a Miata or S2000 would be pretty close, but you could use a Viper as well. They're that generic.
-In GTA the Mafia drive things that are vaugely like old BMW 5 series', only with 90% fewer polygons then something easily recognizable as such.
-Probably the closest thing to a Burrito in GT4 would be the Honda Life step van.
-The Triad in GTA drive big box trucks. The closest thing to one of those in GT4 would be the Diahatsu Midget, and only then because 'commercial cargo vehicle' describes both. They're actually entirely dissimmilar.

The Sentinel is a BMW man, just look at it.

I'd say that any car that's powerful enough would be fine .
Quite anonimous .
I don't think that an outlaw would want people to think how cool he is and say "Look , here comes the bad guy ! " . That's the way characters act in Fast&furious not in the real world.
Probably an honda civic (a fiat punto or uno here in italy )with fully modded engine but a very common colour would be the best to run away after a robbery .

 

[gibus]

I'd say any big discrete mercedes would do it...


@alech: i don't think you'd find the italian mob driving around in fiat uno's.. or at least that isn't really what the author of this post is asking for (if i understood it correctly).

I think what he wants is what the head of the gangs would drive around (just like in the movies )

 

[Mistral1]

In The Getaway triads use a Lexus SC in red and grey color.

 

[SUROKIA]

i voterfor a VIP chaser... wait, im gonna go build one now....

 

[ZeratulSG]

Maybe, it's sort of hard to tell isn't it? But traditionally the Mob are always portrayed as being very fond of American sedans, particularly Caddies and Lincolns, so I figured it looked more like an STS than a Towncar

 

[STiGoFLyBy]

SUROKIA's post make me think of the Toyota Chaser for the Mafia. They look close enough.

 

[gt_masta]

The mafia would go with a black mercedes 190 evo. II with fuly modded engine, of course

 

[Cristiano]

Congratulations, 10 out of 10 ninjas say this is the dumbest thread ever!

 

[VQuick]

I've got a VIP Lexus GS300 from both generations. Did a G35, too. Also made an E55. I need a Chaser next.

 

[300zxfairman]

For a mafia car use the Model T

TBH, I don't know what they drive anymore, but I saw plenty of Yakuza, when I was growing up. Big shot bosses(not the little "chinpira" thugs), ALWAYS rolled in big, black sedans. I said Japanese or German earlier, but I've also heard Cadillac before, though I've never seen them in one personally.

Why? It's not like it looks any worse than the normal car.
