Vehicles: named cars, mod shops and how driving works

Rockstar has not published a full vehicle list or a total count. The names below come from its official edition pages. Trailers show many more cars, bikes, boats and aircraft, but without names.

Officially named vehicles

Real-car comparisons you see online are fan guesses. GTA uses fictional brands such as Grotti, Vapid, Dinka and Shitzu.

How driving works

• Cars feel heavier than in GTA V. Brake before corners.
• A flipped car cannot be rolled back with the stick.
• Vehicles need fuel or charge. Combustion cars use gas stations and electric cars use chargers.
• Previews mention fuel and engine condition gauges, vehicle delivery, and vehicles that can be tracked.
• A partner can drive while you shoot from the passenger seat.

Stealing cars

• A scanner app on your phone shows security level, the tools required and the resale value.
• Older cars open with simple tools or a broken window. Newer luxury cars need a key cloner or better.
• Some stolen vehicles carry trackers that give away your position.
• Damage lowers the price a fence pays.

Getting around without a car

• The RydeMe app on your phone calls a driver.
• Previews report buses and trains you can ride.
• Boats matter: the map has a long coastline, the Keys and the Grassrivers wetlands.

Customizing

Two named mod shops come with the Ultimate Edition: Rideout Customs for interiors, rims and donk builds, and One-Eyed Willie's in Lake Leonida for off-road builds and hand-painted artwork. Mod shops for all players are expected but not listed yet.
