The Bravado Feroci (pronounced as Ferochi) is a four-door sedan appearing in Grand Theft Auto IV and Episodes from Liberty City, and due to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI.
Description[]
Grand Theft Auto VI[]
The Feroci appeared in the September 2022 GTA VI leaks. In one clip, two of the cars are shown: a white one parked in the distance at the Cipher Mall in Rockridge, Vice City, in front of a Harmon & Fenix store,[1] and later, a dark grey one drives past Lucia at the intersection across the street from the mall.[2]
It also briefly appears in another clip, barely visible and in black, driving southbound along Route 2 past the Gas Stop branch in Port Gellhorn, several car lengths behind a two-door hardtop.[3]
In both clips, the Feroci appears to have undergone several design changes.
Influence[]
The Feroci appears to be primarily based on the first generation Lexus GS, with a rear design reminiscent of the 1995–1999 Infiniti I30. The positioning and shape of the headlights resemble those of the 2001–2002 American Honda Accord, with the radiator grille having a slight similarity to the 1996–1998 European Honda Accord. On the rear decklid, the name "Feroci" is placed similar to where the name "Intrepid" would be on the second generation Dodge Intrepid, while the taillight configuration and third brake light on the trunk lid may also be loosely inspired by the second generation Intrepid and/or the first generation Dodge Stratus.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
The front bumper of the car is relatively large in profile and features a black narrow intake that spans about half the car's width, along with a set of unusable fog lamps beside it and a central plate holder mounted ahead of the intake. On the upper area, the central section is occupied by a trapezium-shaped chrome grille with five horizontal dividers and the Bravado emblem, while the sections beside it are occupied by wide headlight units, split between the main lights and smaller turn signals. The hood has smooth lines that start almost from the upper edges of the grille and run towards the windshield.
The sides of the car are denoted by the accent lines passing through, with the lower lines being at the same height as the upper edges of the bumpers, and the upper ones connected to the outer edges of the light units on both ends, just below the silver/chrome door handles. The greenhouse area makes use of black trim around the windows, painted mirrors on the front doors, and inner pillars on the rear doors, while the roof has a sunroof panel and additional black trim separating the roof area from the rest of the vehicle.
On the rear, the car's trunk lid features a black section with silver "FEROCI" lettering embossed on it and a third-brake light above, while the rear quarters house large tail lights, consisting of single main/brake units on the upper half and dual turn/reverse units on the lower half. Additional silver badging can be seen below the tail light units, displaying the manufacturer name on the driver side and the engine specifications on the passenger side. The rear bumper juts out from the rest of the car and features a plate holder in the center, small vents on the outer sides, and a narrow black section spanning most of the car's width, along with a small exhaust pipe on the driver side. The Feroci shares its interior with the Imponte DF8-90, as "DF8-90" is printed on the seats.
The Feroci may spawn with several cosmetic accessories:
- A version without the badges, also lacking an exhaust.
- A version with a front bumper "spoiler".
- A version with side skirts, also adding a twin exhaust and a Chinese Knotting to the rearview mirror.
- A version with a rear bumper extension.
- A version with a lip spoiler.
The vehicle spawns in a variety of primary colors for the bodywork, as well as a white secondary color that is actually applied on the rims (with some exceptions being either gold or black). It uses a set of five-spoke rims fitted with medium-profile tires.
Grand Theft Auto VI[]
In Grand Theft Auto VI, the design of the Feroci is largely similar to its Grand Theft Auto IV rendition, though it now spawns with the front splitter and side skirts from the modified gang variant's bodykit by default. Additionally, the car's door handles have been altered to a pull-bar style instead of the previous flat design, the rim design now features the Bravado logo, and the plastic trims and headlights appear to have been upgraded in overall quality.
Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
The Feroci is powered by what is claimed to be a 3-liter V6 on the badges, but is modeled as a twin-cam four-cylinder engine, coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in a front engine, rear wheel drive configuration. Acceleration is acceptable, but not exceptional. Top speed is quite high. Handling is degraded by its rather soft suspension, designed for a nice ride, which it does, albeit with some firmness at low speeds. With enough effort the sedan can actually powerslide well, but drifts will need a rather odd amount of handbrake. With some practice, this car is a very good drifter. When beyond its limits, the suspension gives in fairly easily, but is one of the few vehicles that can drift, yet still have good handling. The steering feel is well weighted but feels too heavy, again at low speeds.
Braking is acceptable, the vehicle is rather good at slowing down from high speeds. The Feroci has ABS, although it does not always work. Crash deformation is acceptable, and the engine can sustain many direct hits before catching fire. Overall, with a good driver and a gang of three others, this car can really change the tide of a deathmatch, beat some hard missions, or can win the player some good races. Although the gang variant has better protection from bullets (as the bodykit covers the wheels in certain angles), that works against the car when going off-road is required.
The engine sound is relatively smooth and mid-revving, also being shared with similar sedans such as the Presidente and the Vincent.

Oversights[]
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
- Because the Feroci features a third brake light on its trunk lid, the Triad gang variant of the car also emits a glow at the same spot when the player brakes in the car, despite the fact the vehicle's rear spoiler completely covers the light.
Radio Stations[]
- In Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition, the default radio stations are grouped by genre. The Feroci uses the "Ambient" group which can play:

Trivia[]
General[]
Etymology
- The name "Feroci" is seemingly derived from "Feroci Racing", a GTANet group established in 2003, of which Michael "Endo" Bush—former Senior Lead Vehicle Artist at Rockstar North and the namesake of the Endo brand—was a member.[6]
- The name "Feroci" is also an anagram of cefiro, which comes from ancient Greek mythology and refers to the god of "the wind from the west", possibly a reference to the Nissan Cefiro (Infiniti I30 in North America), whose A32 and A33 models share a similar profile with the Feroci.
- Feroci is Italian for "fierce" or "ferocious", and it is similar to words with the same meaning in other Romance languages.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
- A set of rims are available at mod shops in Grand Theft Auto V and Online named "Feroci RR".
- The Feroci also appears in the film Meltdown.
- The car's name serves as a the name for an interior texture/dial cluster used by many vehicles in GTA V and Online, including the Intruder and FQ 2.
