The Torrex is a four-door city taxi featured in Driver Parallel Lines.
Design
It is based on the 1999 LWB Ford Crown Victoria. Its front is derived from the 1999 Chevrolet Caprice, and its rear is based on a Lincoln Town Car. Its main body is very slim, long and curved, making it a very sleek taxi. The taxi always come with a mounted roof advertisement, which is cannot be detached.
Performance
The Torrex Taxi may not be as good as its competitor edition, the Torrex Turbo, but it certainly is a good pick for day-to-day cruises, or fast sprint across town. Having a good strength is also a good advantage.
Variants
- Torrex Racer - a racer variant of a clean taxi (without decals or roof decorations), unlocked once the player wins the 2006 Manhattan GP.
- Torrex Turbo - Turbo variant.

Trivia
- Two civilian variants of the car can be seen during the end cutscene of The Mexican, along with the regular Taxi Torrex.[1]
- The signage on the Torrex comes in three variants; One for Pikey, one for Frenchie's Pizza, and another for Durty Burger.
- The Torrex's beta name was "Nomad". This is referenced in the files, where "nomad", "nomad_racer" and "nomad_turbo" are listed. Since the Torrex is the only car to have 3 named variations, it can be assumed the nomad is indeed the Torrex.
- If the player applies bodywork to the Torrex, the police dispatch will still refer to it as a taxi.
