The Phobos VT is a sports-muscle car exclusive to Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
Design
The Phobos VT resembles a combination of the third generation Chevrolet Corvette, and third-generation Pontiac Firebird. It has a unique front spoiler, lacking any kind of front grille, and may appear in either a one-color or two-color (body and bumpers) color scheme. The exhaust tubes are located on the sides, and it can spawn with an optional black targa top. The interior is a deep shade of red with black accents, regardless of exterior color.
Performance
The Phobos VT has a very high top speed for its class, and incredible torque. However, true to its muscle car design, it does not handle corners well, often oversteering and spinning out on hard turns. The car also has a tendency to wheelspin in initial acceleration, which may also be of use to initiate drifts.
