Journal Entry

 * By looking at it, you'd think the Mizutani Shion was a city car, built for thin-crust roads and unsuited for the desert wasteland. And you'd be right - the standard edition would grind to a dead halt at the first rocky knoll. But with upgrades, reinforcement and improved suspension, the Shion cuts through harsh terrain like a lazer knife through butter.

Overview
The Mizutani Shion "Coyote" is a nomad-customized variant of the Mizutani Shion MZ2 sports car.

There are two versions of the Coyote that can be obtained. The first is painted teal and yellow, and can be purchased from Dakota Smith for 115,000 after V has achieved a high enough street cred level.

The second version is painted red and gray, and can be obtained for free, but only if V makes specific choices in the side job With a Little Help from My Friends. In that job, Panam Palmer will propose going behind Saul Bright's back to steal a Militech Basilisk. During the planning session, V must refuse to go along with the plan, leaving Panam and her friends to try to steal the Basilisk on their own. V then has to tell Saul about Panam's scheme. Going this route will permanently lock V out of the next side job in Panam's storyline, Queen of the Highway, as well as The Star route and ending in Act 3. After being betrayed, Panam will later call V and sever their friendship. If V next drives to the Sunset Motel, Saul will text them and offer his gratitude for saving Panam from herself, and as a reward will turn over ownership of the red and gray Coyote in the garage adjacent to the motel.

Trivia

 * Its engine sound is similar to that of a Nissan RB26DETT famously used in the Nissan Skyline GT-R, suggesting it is fitted with a six-cylinder engine (as opposed to the five-cylinders said to be in its standard variant).
 * Revving the car high enough will make the headers visibly glow due to heat.
