Revision as of 12:05, 26 September 2011
The Tempest (テンペスト, Tenpesuto) is a vehicle from Final Fantasy VIII. It is the car Squall drives when he attacks Edea at the end of Disc 1.
Reminiscent of the American Cadillac, the Tempest is a light blue convertible with left-hand steering, meaning it is designed for driving on the right-hand-side of the road. Since the roads of Deling City are designed for left-hand-side driving it can be surmised that the Tempest is a foreign car from a different region, although which region exactly is unknown.
The Tempest's license plate reads: WH-1637551 and is a Galbadian license plate.

Trivia
- The Tempest's hood ornament is that of a Chocobo.
- Interestingly, there's a real-life car bearing the Tempest name, which was a mid-size muscle car produced by Pontiac in the mid 60's. This car had the similar design as the Tempest Squall drives, including the fact that it had a left-hand steering wheel and hard braking characteristics commonly found in muscle cars.
