GTA 5 Cars List | Rare Cars

There are literally dozens of different vehicles for you to commandeer and drive in Grand Theft Auto 5 and GTA Online.

In addition to the usual array of sports cars, SUVs, motorbikes, trucks and sedans, there are a host of rare and unique vehicles including the Sultan RS and the Vinewood Bus, all of which are one of a kind and can only be found in very specific areas of the game. 

Watch the video for some guidance on how to find these rare vehicles and astound your buddies online by driving them around. Be warned, however, as they stick out like a sore thumb.

 

Update:  So you've played hours upon hours of Grand Theft Auto 5 and have yet to max out your Driving skill for each of your characters, much less your character in GTA Online. We've prepared a guide on how you can max out the skill without having to spend hours on it and do it all in under 20 minutes. Check that out here.

Throughout the series history, special cars have been a part of the GTA games. They are vehicles you don't find driving down the street, so the players have to put a bit more effort into finding them. But oh the sweet payoff when you find one of these rare cars to put into your safehouse garage. And oh the sting when you get blown up on the way there. Here is a video that shows a bunch of hidden vehicles, some hidden in more or less broad daylight, some hidden in somewhat more covert locations.

Like the name implies, Grand Theft Auto is vehicle theft, and a GTA game wouldn't be a GTA game if it wasn't for the cars you can steal.

Thanks to the announcement trailer of Grand Theft Auto V, we have some idea of the cars we'll have a chance to drive, many of which are returning from the previous games.

While some of the vehicles are the same as the ones we've seen in GTA IV, all of them will undoubtedly be updated with better graphics and controls. There are absolutely no details on how well these vehicles will handle in-game, but expect Rockstar to bring some huge changes to the game.

This is a list of all the vehicles confirmed so far for GTA 5. We won’t be including motorcycles, aircraft or any kind of aquatic vehicles, just all the cars and automobiles you can turn a radio on and relax. Also, please bear in mind we were not able to make all of these screenshots from the new game, but as much as possible we opted to give you a better look at the vehicle instead.

The Adder is a hig-end two door hypercar taking elements from the Saab Aero X and Bugatti Veyron 16.4. This car is one of the fastest and best at handling in the game, making it a prize possession.

The Dundreary Admiral is a four door sedan modeled after a 1980s Mercedes benz E-Class W123. The Admiral is generally known as a good starter car, with a four-cylinder engine, good overall performance, and a resilience for collisions.

The HVY Airtug is a low power tug found in the Francis International Airport tarmac. It is slow and leaves you open to gunfire, but it does have good acceleration and fair cornering.

The Asterope is a four door sedan with a look inspired by Toyota XV40 cars Aurion and Camry. It is one of the new cars for the game, so we have no prior frame of reference in terms of performance, but considering what it is this is likely to be an easy car to use.

The Grotti Cheetah is basically the Ferrari Testarossa of the series, and is known for its handling, speed, and suspension. However, in GTA 5 it will take elements from various other cars, including a Ferrari Enzo FXX and Pagani Huayra. It remains to be seen how much of the car has really changed.

The Cognoscenti Cabrio is another car debuting in GTA 5, with a loose anti-roll bar setup for suspension. Not much else is known about this one.
