Cleaver is one of the 30 original vehicles from Carmageddon, driven by Val Hella. It appears among the first batch of opponents and is not stealworthy.

Design

The Cleaver looks like it was a large sports coupé such as the Marcos LM or Dodge Viper, once upon a time. It is colored white and red, has a grille that resembles a skull, spikes on the wheels, and has the race number 21.

Trivia

• The Cleaver is shown on the US cover of Carmageddon II, despite not appearing in that game.
  • This version of the Cleaver, and in the intro movie to the original game, is a very different vehicle to the in-game model. Among other changes, the front lights and grille are positioned differently, the side has exhaust vents and the cabin is mounted deeper into the bodywork.
