In GTA IV, the Virgo (with a [[Dundreary]] brand) has its main influences swapped, resembling more closely a 1977-1979 Mark V (minus the [[wp:opera window|opera windows]]) with only headlights more similar to a 1977-1979 Cougar. The taillights are reminiscent of a 1979 Ford Thunderbird, the rear is also quite similar to the [[Remington]] from GTA San Andreas. | In GTA IV, the Virgo (with a [[Dundreary]] brand) has its main influences swapped, resembling more closely a 1977-1979 Mark V (minus the [[:wp:opera window|opera windows]]) with only headlights more similar to a 1977-1979 Cougar.

In GTA IV, [[Little Jacob]] drives a uniquely colored maroon-and-black Virgo which he uses [[Gun Car|to deal and transport firearms from the trunk]]. Little Jacob's Virgo is available to the player in "[[Concrete Jungle]]" and "[[Russian Revolution]]." In both missions, the player can take it to his parking space and complete the mission in another car. Little Jacob's Virgo is also seen at the unnamed [[Suffolk]] church in "[[Mr and Mrs Bellic]]", but is unobtainable as the game triggers a cutscene when the player nears the car. | In GTA IV, [[Little Jacob]] drives a uniquely colored maroon-and-black Virgo which he uses [[Gun Car|to deal and transport firearms from the trunk]].

When you arrive at Jacobs location, immediately kill him, then push the car to a safehouse. Jacob will call a while later to ask you to pick him up from the hospital. However, there is another way that is harder to do. If you buy guns from him, and he gets back in the car, follow him and keep ramming the car. If you get lucky, the car's engine will stall, and not catch fire. Jacob will then just get out of the car. It is recommended to push it to a safehouse with a [[Firetruck]] as the car is not very durable, and the hose can put out the fire if it catches on fire. This way, you won't have to pick Jacob up from the hospital. | ||
