The Blade is a 2-door muscle car in GTA 5 manufactured by Vapid. This vehicle was added to the game as part of the “I’m Not A Hipster” DLC update. It is a gasser normally used as a drag car but belongs to the muscle vehicle class in the game. This vehicle has a powerful engine that can touch very high speeds. A bunch of compliments can be heard while driving this car around Los Santos.

The Vapid Blade is based on the 1965 Ford Falcon and the Mercury Comet with the front being like the Dodge Monaco. It has a body that is lifted higher at the front with a lower ride height at the rear end. The Blade is a vintage-looking muscle car packed with power. It is more like a gasser than a muscle car. The car has circular headlights and five vertical stripes for tail lights, which is very unique. The Vapid logo is fitted onto a chrome panel on the car's rear end above the bumper. Many of the upgrades change the chrome fittings to body color. There is a secondary colored stripe on both sides of the car, which can also be resprayed.
The Vapid Blade has a powerful engine which is a single-cam V8 with a 5-speed gearbox and rear-wheel drive. It has excellent acceleration and the braking doesn’t disappoint either. The only drawback of the car is the high oversteer. At high speeds, making turns is nearly impossible. The car needs to slow down before making sharp or even mildly sharp turns. The handling and top speed of this car are also great. The car feels a little heavy while maneuvering but the high speed compensates for it. Accelerating while the car is stationary, using the handbrake, and then releasing it will cause the car to do a wheelie. This is due to the car's highly-powered engine, weight distribution, and the fact that it is a gasser used in drag races.
