The Juggernaut is a large semi-trailer truck in the first Grand Theft Auto.
Design
The Juggernaut is modeled after a typical semitrailer, evidenced by its back end. As an industrial vehicle, it is very large. Interestingly, the Juggernaut does not take up any resemblance of any real-world vehicles.
Performance
The Juggernaut has very slow acceleration, but after about three seconds of accelerating it will go through a "acceleration boost" and go much faster. The Juggernaut, unlike any other truck, is unique, because at the first moments of accelerating, the camera moves upwards to a large degree, suggesting that it takes a large amount of power to get the vehicle moving, emphasizing its heavy weight. This is further demonstrated by its slow acceleration, and the "acceleration boost" indicates that it is picking up momentum.
