The Zebra Cab is a special taxi featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
Design[]
The Zebra Cab is a variant of the Cabbie with a yellow-and-black zebra livery pattern, as well as darker metal trim and bumpers. Although not visible, the vehicle spawns in a dark red primary color with a gray secondary color (a color combination that is directly copied from the Borgnine from Grand Theft Auto III).
Performance[]
The vehicle has superior performance to both the standard Cabbie and Kaufman Cab, with slightly improved top speed, acceleration and handling. It also has a heavier mass, capable of pushing most cars with ease. The key benefit of the Zebra Cab is in the Taxi Driver side missions; passengers in a Zebra Cab will never complain about the time taken for a journey.
Like the Cabbie and Kaufman Cab, the vehicle uses a petrol engine and a 4-speed gearbox that powers the rear wheels. Similar to the Kaufman Cab, it emits the sound of a high-performance engine, most likely supercharged.

- After the final Kaufman Cabs mission, "Cabmageddon", the Zebra Cab spawns inside the cab depot and replaces the Kaufman Cab, which usually spawns there.
Prominent Appearances in Gameplay[]
The Zebra Cab first appears in the final Kaufman Cabs mission, "Cabmaggedon", where it is driven by the owner of Vice City Cabs. He attempts to run down the player, and must be killed, either by destroying his cab, or by firing through the windshield at him.
