IN Grand Theft Auto V more vehicles than any other GTA. But due to the limitations of outdated consoles, you will see no more than three or four models of cars on the streets of Los Santos at any time. They are replaced, as a rule, every few game hours.
Often the cars in the game do not have a permanent parking place, so you can not come and pick up any desired car. If the vehicle you are looking for has not yet been ordered via the Internet, then be prepared to spend hours (and this time real ones) looking for the right model. But when you get the coveted car, the game, as if mocking, puts exactly the same models in all parking lots and streets of the state. However, this mechanic is already familiar to us from past games in the series.
In this section, we will try to save your time and tell you about the most likely ways to get car models if they suddenly disappeared from among those often appearing on the roads. We will not forget about the cars, which can still be found in certain parking lots, as well as aircraft with helicopters.
Karin Sultan
To get this rally sedan, head to the Franklin garage parking lot on . If the Sultan is not here, get out of the car and save the game using your phone. Then load this save from the menu. Keep loading until the Sultan appears. It may take a good ten times to try, but it's still better than wandering around the city.
If you are looking for a car while playing as Franklin, instead of loading you can try going in and out of the garage, but this method is usually less efficient. You can try the same save trick in the parking lot behind the motel:
IN GTA Online meeting the "Sultan" is somewhat easier: follow the prison and inspect the parking lot near the checkpoint. If Sultan is not on it, go to settings and make sure Spawn Location is set to Last Location . Then click Find New Session and keep doing this until you are in the lobby where the car will be parked.
Karin Futo
Sometimes when switching from another character to Franklin, you will find him stuck in traffic. In this case, one of the neighboring cars will almost certainly be Futo. Do not get lost and take it to your collection. You can transfer the car to another hero by making an appointment with him: pick up a friend, get out of the car and take Franklin away. Quickly switch to another character and get back behind the wheel of the Futo. Or, on behalf of Franklin, ride with a friend around the city until you meet another one of the same car model. After that, change the character and immediately get into a new car.
Another way to get "Futo" is a little easier, although it also does not give a 100% guarantee. First go with Franklin to the Vinewood area. The approximate area you should be in is marked with . It's best to stay at the busy intersection of the avenue of stars. Then start the replay of the mission of the random character Beverly Felton "Paparazzo - The Sex Tape" and go through it completely.
The fact is that in this task in the Vinewood area, Futos begin to ride in large numbers. So when you complete the mission, you will most likely be able to steal one of the cars on the street.
IN GTA Online"Futo" can be found in some car parks in. As in the case of the Sultan, change the lobby until you find a car.
Kortz Center
- a large cultural complex located on the hills in the northwestern part of the city. And parking next to it is a real mecca for fans of expensive sports (and not only) cars. In particular, cars such as Maibatsu Penumbra, Coil Voltic, Vapid Bullet, Pegassi Infernus, Grotti Carbonizzare, Invetero Coquette and some others are often found here.
To update the list of models in the parking lot, just drive a hundred meters from the main entrance and go back. The save and load trick described above also works here.
Truffade Adder, based on the Bugatti Veyron, is rightfully the fastest car in the game. Finding it is quite simple - it is often parked at the entrance to a fashionable shop on. By the way, an interesting fact: in Los Angeles in the same place on Rodeo Drive you can see a real Veyron, it has literally become a symbol of the street. The car belonged to an Iranian fashion designer who died in 2011. Despite this, Veyron can still be found at a boutique founded by the former owner of the car.
If your game characters have extra money, you can order Adder to the garage of any of them at legendarymotorsport.net. Pleasure will cost one million dollars. The purchase of this car will fly into the same amount and in GTA Online.
Vapid Sandking XL
Do not rush to give 45 thousand for Sandking XL on the car dealership website, the car can always be found on the beach near the pier. In one of the patches Rockstar Games fixed that bug and made the Sandking 4WD, so it's now one of the best off-road cars in the game. Don't forget to drive in and pump up the acceleration so that the jeep has enough power to climb steep slopes.
On the roads of Blaine County, you can find a two-door version of this car with a shortened wheelbase. It's called Vapid Sandking SWB, where SWB stands for Short Wheel Base.
Rat loader
An old and unremarkable-looking pickup truck, the body of which is usually clogged with all sorts of rubbish. Nevertheless, this model is very popular due to the rich set of spare parts for. Usually it can be found in the Alamo Sea area: in the town of Sandy Shores and its environs, less often in Grapeseed. We have marked six possible Rat-Loaders on the map. If the car did not appear at any of the points, it is worth driving away a bit and trying again.
Note that in GTA Online Rockstar along with patch 1.07, banned the Rat-Loader from being parked in the garage and removed the car from those players who kept it. This happened due to the fact that, according to the game classification, the car fell into the category of official vehicles. However, the developers corrected the situation and even provided everyone with a temporary opportunity to get both the Rat-Loader itself and any modifications to it for free, as well as keep the wheelbarrow on a permanent basis. Now the car can be easily purchased for $6,000 on SouthernSanAndreasSuperAutos.com or try to find it in Sandy Shores.
fire truck
Vehicles specially prepared for firefighting are parked near all fire stations in the state. Although working as a firefighter (as opposed to San Andreas) is not allowed, pouring water on pedestrians is still allowed. By the way, some believe that if you douse a dirty car with water from a hose, it will become clean. We tested this situation - the myth was not confirmed. To clean the car, you still have to visit a car wash or a tuning salon.
The easiest way to get a Fire Truck is to call the emergency rescue service 911 and call the fire brigade to your place.
Service car for park rangers and forest rangers, based on the Declasse Granger. Periodically found on country roads and trails in the vicinity of Mount Chiliad, but the easiest way to pick it up is from the parking lotlocated above one of the symbols of the city - the Vinewood sign. Although the gates are not locked, the territory of the station is guarded. Be prepared to meet a little resistance.
Another modification of the Granger, this time intended for lifeguards and beach patrols. A plying car can be seen on the beaches of Vespucci and Del Perro, but almost always a couple of these cars are left near the main observation post, which is located at the pier.
Nagasaki Blazer Lifeguard
Beach lifeguards in San Andreas are held in high esteem, so they were given not only SUVs and jet skis, but also special ATVs. You can meet them throughout everything: they are often parked near the rescue booths or are busy patrolling the territory.
tractor
Old and rusty tractor. Rides exactly the same as it looks. In one of the secondary tasks, you could get a copy with a special license plate KIFFLOM1 if you remained completely devoted to the ideas of religious fanatics from the Epsilon cult. An ordinary tractor can be obtained on the east coast of the state: look for it near the farmhouse, which is opposite.
Canis Mesa by Merryweather
Mercenaries of the private military company "Merryweather" ride pumped jeeps, which are significantly different from production models. The ground clearance of this modification is much greater, and the engine torque is higher. The body is surrounded by an external safety cage, and an air intake is laid above the windshield. It is no wonder that the game classification refers the "military" version of "Mesa" to real SUVs in the Off-Road group, while the "civilian" model is only an SUV.
Unfortunately, get this car in gta v You can only during the passage of the story. True, there are several chances - usually, after skirmishes with warriors from Merryweather Security Consulting, you can take their Mesa to your garage. Example: The Wrap Up and Meltdown missions.
IN GTA Online pocketing the off-road version of the Mesa is much easier. Having pumped the character up to level 35, you will be able to call for help or set mercenaries from Merryweather on someone. Taking the Mesa away from them is a matter of technique.
Ubermacht Sentinel XS
XS prefix since the days GTA: Vice City stands for a boosted version of the regular Sentinel. Unlike its younger brother, the Sentinel XS has a hard carbon roof, as well as an individual set of tuning parts. The car is based on the BMW M3 E92. The performance characteristics match the appearance - the Sentinel XS version is much faster than a conventional convertible.
Unfortunately, this is one of those vehicles that has no permanent spawn locations. Here everything depends on luck: it is necessary to catch the moment when Sentintel XS will appear among other vehicles in the road stream. They are commonly seen in the Rockford Hills and Vinewood areas. Judging by our tests, riding a regular Sentinel does not affect the frequency of appearance of the XS model. You can try to save the game at a busy intersection and load until you meet XS, but this method is not guaranteed to work. If you can’t get a car for a long time, leave it for later and keep an eye out - you will find it in time!
Declasse Asea
Declasse Asea is a compact four-door sedan. Unremarkable appearance, reminiscent of the Chevrolet Aveo and Dacia Logan, and acceleration is not the best. Why are we writing about this car? Because this is one of the rarest cars in the game with a unique body paint that can be ordered from . Maybe, Rockstar decided to play a trick on young guys who usually choose these cars because of the low price and try to turn them into street racing cars. This theory is also supported by a huge rear wing that can be installed on the Asea at LS Customs.
For the whole game you will have only one chance to steal this car. To get it, you must fulfill two conditions: the abandoned Sonar Collections Dock for $250,000 and complete the Blitz Play story mission. If everything is ready, take Michael and go to the pier to meet with. She will offer two side quests - "Death At Sea" and "What Lies Beneath". During the latter, you will have the opportunity to get Declasse Asea.
The parked Asea, in which Mrs. Methers will arrive for the second meeting, you will notice at the beginning of the mission. But the car doors will be closed until the end of the scripted scene. But then, regardless of the outcome of your rendezvous with Abigail, her car will be available in its entirety. You can run up the stairs, overtaking your companion or finishing with her on the way, and drive off on a four-wheeled trophy. Or wait until the widow gets behind the wheel of her sedan, shoot her and assign a wheelbarrow.
police transport
The San Andreas State Police Department also has rare cars at its disposal, which we decided to talk about in more detail. The screenshot shows a collection of some of them in Michael's garage. So let's get started.
Unmarked Cruiser
This car is based on a very common model from the Vapid concern: such cars serve as ordinary police officers, Blaine County Sheriffs and even taxi drivers. A civilian version also exists and is called the Stanier. But now we are interested in cars used by special services. If you haven't finished the walkthrough yet, you can relatively easily collect a complete collection of these cars in a task from a minor character.
After completing the "Three's Company" mission, head to the shop in the Textile City area with Franklin. On the map, the contact will be marked with a green question mark (with the Latin letter "B" if you have already met Barry before on behalf of other characters). After a short scripted scene, go about your business and wait for a text message. Soon a new acquaintance will remind you of himself and ask you to help him with the transportation of weed.
Several light green circles will appear on the map. We are only interested in the one that is located in the east of the city in the area. If it is not immediately visible, then first complete those tasks that are available. Upon arrival, drive up to the truck parked at the warehouses. Franklin will call Barry and he will report that the cops are wiping out somewhere nearby.
Do not get into the truck, but explore the nearby territory: and indeed - two outfits are just waiting for the opportunity to tie the "drug dealer" Franklin. We have recorded a short video that shows you where to look for:
If you arrived in a normal car, then the patrol cars will most likely be gray and blue. Steal the one you like and drop the "tail" of the police. To keep the car in the garage, fail the mission by blowing up the truck with the goods or waiting until the allotted time runs out. If you want to get both cars, then start the mission again and do the same.
But that's not all. There are Unmarked Cruiser and other colors. To get them, come to the mission and grab the gray car, get rid of the pursuers and fail the mission. But immediately after that, do not deliver the loot to the garage, but return in the same gray cop car to do the job again. In this case, one or both cars of the cops in the ambush will be black. Please note that black cars are found in two versions: with tinted and regular windows. And if you took the blue car, then, when you return to the mission, you will find a red one in its place:
Thus, having failed the task several times, you can collect a collection of multi-colored special-purpose vehicles. As the name implies, there are no extra identification marks on these patrol cars - only the Police Cruiser inscription on the trunk. Cars are equipped with flashing beacons inside the cabin, and the front bumper is reinforced with a kenguryatnik.
“What if I already completed the story?” - you ask. Don't despair, the multi-colored Unmarked Cruisers are still available, although it's harder to do so.
There are frequent patrols under the Olympic Freeway at night. Head to a small nook between 1:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. If you are lucky, you will immediately meet a black Unmarked Cruiser. But this is a rather rare occurrence: you may have to travel around for several nights. To speed up the process, save near the search site shortly before X-hour, and in the morning reload the save if the night did not bring results.
By the way, in the same place you can meet other rare vehicles of servants of the law: for example, the Bravado Police Cruiser (based on the Buffalo model), a police motorcycle, as well as a Police Transporter van, which is periodically used to block roads if you scored three wanted stars and more.
The next way to get Unmarked Cruiser is not very practical, although it gives a 100% guarantee. Buy Franklin the Smoke on the Water pharmacy, which we talked about in the section about.
If you find yourself in the Great Ocean Highway area, sometimes the manager will turn to Franklin for help: you need to replace the driver and pick up the company minivan from the parking lot outside the city. The text of the message may differ from the one shown in the screenshot, it is selected randomly. The main thing is that the geographical location of the van is correct.
Since the game has several options for places and tasks, to increase the chances, we suggest saving near the exit from the western part of the city. This should be done if several days have passed since the last task of the pharmacy manager was completed. Agents are waiting for you on the road, at the exit of the parking lot. The color of their car is chosen randomly, so you may have to complete the mission several times before you find the right one.
FIB Granger and FIB Buffalo
Both of these vehicles are simply named FIB in the game and belong to the transport class. Both are black and, like the Unmarked Cruiser, have no markings other than the bumper stickers. Granger - a large SUV - can also be found with four wanted stars, but it is much easier to pick up from the place indicated on the map in the desert.
Come after 10 o'clock in the morning to the complex of six radio telescopes near Highway 68. If you're lucky, you'll notice scientists doing some measurements there, and two machines of interest to us. If you want a Buffalo, and two jeeps are caught, use a well-known trick: drive away and go back. Cars must change. During the theft, one of the federal agents will try to stop you, but will be shot by his colleague. Funny situation.
P.S. The described method is valid for the original gta v on PS3 and Xbox 360. In the enhanced version of the game on PS4, Xbox One and PC, the FIB vehicles were replaced with a white Washington and a white Burrito. Thanks for the addition to the reader.
P-996 Laser
A new fighter that replaced the Hydra from GTA: San Andreas. Unfortunately, the P-996 Lazer does not have a vertical takeoff function, but is still armed with machine guns and homing missiles. A very fast and sharp aircraft in control, which will take some time to get used to.
You can steal it only from a military base. There are several ways to get there:
Switch between missiles and machine gun with the button / and shoot - or .
Nagasaki Buzzard Attack Chopper
The Buzzard combat helicopter is familiar to us from The Ballad of Gay Tony. The rotorcraft of death is waiting for you at the heliport of the N.O.O.S.E (National Office Of Security Enforcement), whose headquarters is located east of the highway. The area around the complex is fenced with a high fence, but all the gates open in front of visitors and you will not attract the attention of the police by entering here. Several stairs lead to the roof, we have published a short video to show one of the possible ways up:
medical helicopter
At the helipad of the Los Santos Medical Center in the area, you can find bright red helicopters designed to quickly transport victims to the hospital. The site is located on the roof of the extension to the main building, to the right of the main entrance. You can find stairs on which you can climb up almost from all sides of the building. A small defect of the developers: when landing in this helicopter, the name of the Police Maverick model appears.
Western Duster
The usual old corn, which we were shown back in the trailer of the game. IN San Andreas was its analogue - Cropduster. It is noteworthy that in a single player game, Duster cannot spray pesticides from the air, although in GTA Online on click
/
everything works correctly.
The aircraft occasionally spawns off the southwest coast of the Alamo Sea at the roundabout at the end of the road west of Sandy Shores. It can also be found landing at local Mackenzie and Sandy Shores airfields. By the way, being at the helm of the maize plant, the heroes put on special aviation goggles and a helmet.
Shitzu Jetmax is the fastest boat in the game. You can find it inside on the east coast of the state. There are usually several Seashark jet skis nearby.
Fixter is a fixed gear bike that has no freewheel. Therefore, the pedals are spinning all the time when the rear wheel is spinning. R ★
I was not too lazy even to do skid braking, because traditional brakes are not often installed on such bikes.
Nowadays, bicycles of this type are very popular with bike couriers and other hipsters. You can get Fixter in one of Trevor's Rampage missions, where he just comes into battle with representatives of this subculture. Head to the East Los Santos area and start the Rampage. After some time, enemy reinforcements will begin to arrive in Issi cars and "fixes". Finish the mission and take the Fixter for yourself.
Dinka Blista
Blista is a compact two-door hatchback. IN gta v this car is quite rare, so there are no reliable ways to get it. However, we found one that might work.
First, go to the Simeon car dealership, it is located on the map. Stop nearby and start the replay of the "Franklin and Lamar" mission (it's the first one after the prologue). Complete the task as required by the game: drive the race with Lamar, then get away from the police and deliver the car to the salon.
After the script scene, go outside to your Buffalo parked nearby. You will notice that the right Blista is standing nearby. Get in it and start making circles around the dealership. Attention! You can't go far because the game wants you to sit in Buffalo. Ride around the block until more Blistas appear on the streets. It usually takes five minutes, no more. Now you can safely leave the area and fail the mission. Refuse to replay and return to the game. In the area of the car dealership, the desired Blista should now ride, grab the first one that comes across.
Ordering transport on websites
Some cars, motorcycles, bicycles, special equipment, air and water transport can be ordered on Internet pages. In total, there are six sites in the game that sell vehicles. To quickly get to any of them, go to the Internet and select the Travel and Transport section, then click on the banners. In the tables below we list prices and names of available products. Once purchased online, it may take up to 24 in-game hours for vehicles to be delivered to the storage location.

As for installing new cars in the game, then everything is extremely simple and clear, as in previous games in the series, but if you need help, then read.
Cars for GTA 5
Despite the impressive number of vehicles that are available to the player in GTA 5, all of them can quickly get bored, especially if you sit up for the game for days on end;) In addition, the standard car models are not too detailed (especially for the interior). The GTA 5 engine is capable of more, so here you can download the best car models for free with better textures, detailed interiors and other small details that are simply breathtaking. They look real in the game! Don't believe me - try it yourself!
For the convenience of users, we sorted the cars by brand. If you want to see a specific brand of car in the game, use the alphabetical index below. Find your favorite brand there and download to your health!
As for the installation of new cars in the game, then everything is extremely simple and clear, as in previous games in the series, but if you need help, then read our special instructions.
Car mods for GTA 5 is one of the most popular sections of our file archive. Thousands, tens of thousands of people come here every day to update the fleet of the fifth part of the great series of games from Rockstar Games.
Before downloading mods for GTA 5, you need to choose a car, and here many other sites turn out to be extremely inconvenient due to the fact that the modifications are “piled up” there in a single heap, and it is difficult to find something specific in it.
We have a huge selection of well-structured mods. All car brands are divided into their own categories in alphabetical order. Aston Martin, Audi, BMW, Bugatti, Bentley, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Ferrari, Honda, Jeep, Lamborghini, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Renault, Volvo - these are just some of the companies whose cars are in our file archive. You can find a whole bunch of stuff here.
For example, if you do not want to choose one car at a time, you can use thematic collections. There are also collections of cars of certain brands, collections of Russian cars and even comic mods with a variety of funny vehicles.
By the way, some mods are cars for GTA 5 with automatic installation, they can generally be installed in just a few clicks. But, as a rule, most mods have to be installed manually, even if there is nothing particularly difficult in this.
In order to properly install mods, you need to understand what they are. Like many other computer games, in Grand Theft Auto 5 most of the custom modifications work by replacing the original files. Thus, many of the cars added via mods are essentially replacing the cars from the standard version of the game.
However, many modern modifications do not replace the content of the game, but expand it. The good thing about these addons is that they don't force you to choose which car to replace. Instead, they do not touch the originals and act autonomously.
You can find out how the mod works from the brief summary on the page of this mod, and all additional details are given in the description. There, the authors often make lists of the main features of the car: do the windows break, can they be shot through, is the steering wheel animated, and many other features.
In this article we will talk about some of the features of the technical characteristics of vehicles in Grand Theft Auto V And GTA Online. The information will be useful for racers in online modes and for those who want to choose the fastest car in the game.
Rule number 1: do not trust tables and graphs!
gta v, unlike previous games in the series, provides a lot of information about vehicles. Model descriptions on Legendary Motorsport, Southern San Andreas Super Autos, and Benny's Original Motor Works provide all sorts of facts, tuning shops, and hero garages. GTA Online you can consider graphs of maximum speed, acceleration, braking and grip. The same parameters are presented in the transport encyclopedia on the Social Club website, and the page with an overview of the player’s career will even show the enviable “maximum speed” that your character has reached. One problem: all this is a fiction that has nothing to do with reality.
To build such a graphical scale with characteristics (by the way, they are also in our section on transport), data from the handling.meta file is used. It should be familiar to anyone who has ever modified GTA: all the information is collected here, on the basis of which the game calculates the behavior model of a particular vehicle. Let's take a look at the racing version of Massacro, for example:
Racing Massacro data from handling.meta
Massacro2 440010 20002 20 AVERAGE
There are a lot of letters and numbers here, so let's stop on one line for now:
fInitialDriveMaxFlatVel value="156.199997"
It is this value (with allowable rounding up to 156 km / h) that we have indicated as the maximum speed for the racing Massacro. It is also used by all charts in the game and Social Club: the number is divided by a certain pre-set general coefficient, which allows you to get a value from 0 to 10 (in this case - 8.38) and visually display it on the chart.
Three other parameters are calculated according to the same principle: the corresponding value from the handling file is taken as a basis and divided by a conditional coefficient (for each type of data - its own).
In addition to the distortion of facts, this method has another drawback: often after tuning, some strips go off scale. Surely you have a couple of cars in your collection, the acceleration of which is pumped to the limit. In some cases, this does not even require buying all available upgrades, but this does not mean that the car will not become even faster with them: the stripes on the graphs, again, have little to do with reality.
And all because, unlike a simplified graphical representation, the game engine uses to calculate a real physical quantity (for example, maximum speed or acceleration) not just one number from the handling file, but a combination of several.
Here is another example of "lies" - on the car selection screen before entering GTA Online: let's compare the racing versions of the same Massacro and Jester. If you believe the graphics drawn by the game, we can assume that the “maximum speed” of Jester is slightly higher, but Massacro accelerates faster.
What happens in the end, see the video below:
In the video, the gas for both cars is fully clamped even before the start, in order to eliminate the reaction time. We also tested the option when both cars caught a "turbo start" (for this you need to press the gas exactly at the moment Go appears on the screen) - Massacro arrived one and a half seconds faster, and Jester improved its time by one second. Thus, the result has not changed. There was no tuning on the cars.
It turns out it's the other way around! Jester takes off faster (with tuning, and especially on wet surfaces, this is even better noticeable - all-wheel drive helps). But already in the fourth gear, Massacro is equal to the opponent, and then goes ahead - her maximum speed is higher.
Notes
1. For speed, the factor is 18.63754, if you're interested.
Max Speed
As already mentioned, several parameters are responsible for each of the four main characteristics of the car. It was experimentally found that three lines affect the maximum speed: fInitialDragCoeff, fInitialDriveForce and fInitialDriveMaxFlatVel.
The first value is drag. The lower the number, the better the car “cuts” the air and, accordingly, gains a greater maximum speed. We don’t know what formula the developers used for calculations, but, as many probably remember from physics lessons, the amount of drag is proportional to the speed squared, and the power to overcome it is the speed cubed. That is why cars cannot accelerate indefinitely: each subsequent km / h requires more and more energy. This is a very important parameter - aerodynamics cannot be neglected!
The second value - fInitialDriveForce - is essentially the power factor of the motor. The higher it is, the more "horses" in the car's engine.
The third value fInitialDriveMaxFlatVel is the theoretical maximum speed of the vehicle in km/h. The need for this parameter is not entirely clear, but it has an impact on the maximum speed: if two cars have the same drag and power, then the one with the theoretical speed is higher will be faster. As you already know, it is this parameter that the game gives out as the true "maximum speed", which, of course, is wrong.
Consider the values of three speed parameters for the Massacro and Jester racing variants:
Massacro Race Car
jester race car
From this it can be seen that the theoretical maximum speed of the Jester is higher, but the engine of the Massacro is much more powerful (by the way, among all racing cars, only the T20 has a better engine, and even then its coefficient is more than one thousandth; the average for the class is 0, 3). If it were not for the overestimated value of drag in Massacro, she would not have had a price.
Tuning parts that increase engine power just raise the fInitialDriveForce parameter. Although the game on its graphs only shows an increase in acceleration, we want to show that fully pumped cars also have an increase in maximum speed. To do this, a track was created in the editor on one of the few straights - the Senora Freeway to the east of Grapeseed.
Acceleration begins in front of the Braddock Tunnel and each car travels to the desired control point in last gear at its maximum speed (we will talk about how we measured the real speed of the cars below). Both videos are synchronized at the moment of passing the checkpoint, which allows you to see the difference at the finish line.
After testing dozens of cars from different classes, we came to the conclusion that tuning increases the maximum speed by 5-8%. Cars that have high engine power even when factory set get a nice boost in performance, but don't become rockets. Apparently, the law of diminishing returns comes into force. If we translate it into the rules of the game, we can assume that the engine power after a certain value is already less than other factors (for example, drag) affects the overall result.
Passengers and top speed
It is curious that the weight of the car itself does not affect the acceleration and “maximum speed” in any way, but if you add passengers to you, then both of these indicators will decrease. Moreover, the dependence here is very linear: each passenger lowers the performance characteristics of the car by a certain value. The easiest way to notice this effect is on motorcycles, but a car with three lazy people in adjacent seats will become slower. However, all the same, in online races, all participants are on an equal footing, so you should not worry about this.
True Top Speed Measurement
Accurately measure the speed of vehicles in gta v only possible through experience. This tends to increase speed as the game's frame rate increases. Of course, this will not affect console players, but if you participate in drag racing on a PC, take note and disable all graphic bells and whistles.
| Frequency, fps | Speed, km/h |
|---|---|
| 30 | 193,9 |
| 60 | 195,5 |
| 130 | 200,7 |
For verification, we drove the test track five times at three FPS values - 30, 60 and 130 (the maximum that the used computer was capable of). To achieve 30 frames per second, half VSync mode was enabled (monitor frequency - 60 Hz), full VSync was used for 60 frames, but we managed to get a stable 130 FPS after turning off vertical synchronization and setting graphics settings to a minimum. A fully tuned Cheetah supercar participated in the testing, its results are in the table on the right.
The difference is not catastrophic, other games ported to the PC completely tie physics to a certain FPS value and break when it changes. However, the difference in acceleration and speed of cars in gta v is present, so we took 60 FPS as the standard (one way or another, on a PC, this is the minimum you should strive for) and all tests for this section were carried out at this frequency.
We have already mentioned a specially created track to the east of Grapeseed above. It's easy to do this. It is only important that the two checkpoints between which we will record the time are located on the straightest section of the road as possible, and the start is away from them, because any car must have time to fully accelerate. The racing mission editor kindly reports the distance between the markers, in our case 0.27 miles. We decided to turn off the metric system for now: after all, the English system of measures is native to the game, and we don’t know to what number the developers rounded the conversion to kilometers.
There is a distance, it remains to find out the time and you can calculate the speed. To do this, you need to record several races on video (also at 60 FPS), and then in any video editor see the number of frames that managed to fit between the control points. The marker changes the color of the arrow in one of the frames - this is our starting point. We jump to the next one and cut off the video there at the same moment. Divide the resulting number of frames by 60 (since our video was recorded at 60 frames per second) and get the time between two markers in seconds. We divide the distance by the time and multiply it all by 3600 - as a result, we get the speed in miles per hour. Converting to kilometers per hour is no longer difficult.
From arrival to arrival, the number of frames may vary. Here are three runs on Cheetah, for example: 480, 481, 479. Sometimes the difference is up to four frames. With our video rate, each extra frame reduces the final speed by 0.4 km/h. Therefore, the most accurate way is to drive the track three or five times and take the arithmetic average of all attempts for calculations. The influence of the number of frames on the result can be reduced if the distance is greater, however, such long straight lines in gta v not so much, and any changes in the direction of movement make their own adjustments.
Unfortunately, we do not have the opportunity to test all vehicles in GTA Online- Tuning is too expensive. Factory options, which can be taken before the start for free, are not interesting for serious riders, and the rest do not need this information at all. In the end, on the "nextgen" and PC in first person mode, you can look at the speedometer, but it often lies at 5-7 miles per hour.
This is where the Brit comes to the rescue. Broughy1322, a well-known racer in the community GTA. He tests classes of machines according to the methodology approved by us. Although it must be admitted, not all of his results agree with ours. This is partly due to the fact that cutscenes are recorded in-game on the PlayStation 4 at 30 frames per second. Accordingly, for each frame, the car travels twice as far as at 60 FPS. As a result, one extra or missing frame reduces/increases the calculated speed by more than 1 km/h (because its detected distance is less than ours). Also, don't forget that machines, according to the findings above, become slightly slower at lower FPS.
One more nuance regarding calculations Broughy1322- he takes cars from other racers for testing. Even if these are proven people, it cannot be argued that they once did not forget to put an upgrade on the engine or something like that.
The fastest car in the game
Currently the fastest car in the game is… *drumroll* - Z-Type. Interestingly, the representative of the sports classic surpassed all supercars in maximum speed, although the Adder in second place is quite a bit slower. The full list of tested models and their results can be found in the table under the spoiler below.

Acceleration
Acceleration is a difficult parameter to analyze. Apparently, it is affected by all the same values as the maximum speed, plus the clutch factor fClutchChangeRateScaleUpShift, which indicates how quickly the gearbox changes gears when moving forward.
For example, we took four cars. Jester Racecar and Massacro are sports cars, while the T20 and Zentorno are supercars. As we showed above, the racing Jester has slightly higher acceleration than the Massacro Racecar. In this race, the regular version of Massacro takes part, but the differences from the racing one are scanty and do not concern the tested parameters. T20 and Zentorno are well balanced: both with all-wheel drive and the same top speed. The T20's increased drag is countered by a more powerful engine and increased theoretical speed.

fInitialDragCoeff value="9.500000"
fInitialDriveForce value="0.310000"

fInitialDriveForce value="0.365000"
fClutchChangeRateScaleUpShift value="7.000000"
fInitialDriveMaxFlatVel value="159.300000"
Zentorno

fClutchChangeRateScaleUpShift value="6.000000"
fClutchChangeRateScaleDownShift value="6.000000"
fInitialDriveMaxFlatVel value="159.000000"
Both sports cars lose at "maximum speed", but not as much as it might seem. The racing Jester has the best drag of the quartet, and the Massacro has a great engine.
The main difference between these pairs of machines is the speed of the gearbox. Among the class of sports cars, the average is 2.4. Massacro has 3 and Jester Racecar has 3.3. The best supercars usually have this value of 6 or 7, which means they should spend less time shifting gears. With the overall parity of the T20 and Zentorno, it will be interesting to see if the difference in the parameters of their boxes will have an impact on the result.
All cars are equipped with a full set of tuning. Full throttle before launch to eliminate reaction time.
All four cars are quite fast, let's analyze the race frame by frame.
T20 is confidently leading in the first stint, Zentorno is slightly behind. Here it is - the difference between 6 and 7 in gear shifting speed. By the way, no car in the game has 7 to switch up anymore, the T20 is definitely the leader here. The top six supercars are Cheetah, Entity XF, Infernus, Osiris, Vacca and Zentorno. The racing Jester predictably took off a little better than the Massacro, due to its all-wheel drive and frisky gearbox.
Second checkpoint. The gap between T20 and Zentorno has increased a little more. Both sports cars noticeably lost ground, but Jester is still ahead of Massacro. Here he is still squeezing out the third, and Massacro has already switched to the fourth.
In general, Jester gears are much longer than the other three cars presented here. At the start, this helps a lot: while others move from second to third and fourth, the Japanese sports car keeps high speeds. However, such tactics will not help him if there are many straight and fast turns on the track. In this case it is better to choose Massacro.
At the third checkpoint, the same situation persists. There are already fewer shifts, so Massacro and Zentorno hold their positions behind the competition. By the fourth marker, Massacro is finally spinning up its powerful engine and is already ahead of Jester by a couple of frames. Since the acceleration is almost complete, our blue sports car will go further thanks to the higher maximum speed. Zentorno does not have such an enviable trump card against the T20, so it will remain in the rearguard until the finish line.
Adder vs. T20
Another interesting ride. In our tests, we determined that the Adder is the fastest supercar ever, with a top speed of 205.7 km/h. Here are its parameters:
adder
fInitialDragCoeff value="7.800000"
fInitialDriveForce value="0.320000"
fClutchChangeRateScaleUpShift value="3.000000"
fClutchChangeRateScaleDownShift value="3.000000"
fInitialDriveMaxFlatVel value="160.000000"
As you can see, its engine is weaker than that of the T20, but the drag is lower, and the theoretical “maximum speed” is greater. The speed of the box is about the same as that of the sports cars discussed earlier. Will it affect acceleration?
Everything happened exactly as we expected. T20 confidently won the start, and then Adder gradually overtook and bypassed it due to its maximum speed.
Car with electric motor
In theory, the kings of acceleration should be cars with an electric motor. While ICEs (internal combustion engines) must rev up and change gears to maintain torque, electric motors do not have this disadvantage. However, in gta v there are simply no worthy cars of this type: among supercars - only Voltic, and from sports cars - Khamelion.
We tested the Voltic against the T20 without tuning: the electric car lost the start a little, but by the second checkpoint it almost made up for its backlog, and then the T20 left it to swallow the dust. At the same time, the situation with tuning will be even worse: all other cars receive upgrades to the gearbox and turbocharging of the engine, and such elements are not available to electric vehicles due to their design features.
Fender, braking and traction
Track traction and braking are related, so we have combined them into one section.
The parameter used for the brake bar is called fBrakeForce in handling.meta. However, he, like other similar lines taken out of context, does not tell the whole story. In addition to it, there is also the distribution of braking force, which we indicate in our tables. Traction also affects the deceleration of the car. It is broken down into two main values: fTractionCurveMax and fTractionCurveMin. The names are not very logical, but Max is responsible for traction in corners, and Min - in a straight line.
Let's take Slamvan as an example. We know that his brakes are some of the worst in the game. Let's try to figure out why.
Slamvan
fBrakeForce value="0.600000"
fBrakeBiasFront value="0.700000"
fTractionCurveMax value="1.650000"
fTractionCurveMin value="1.250000"
Braking force of 0.6 is not the worst parameter in the game (average among all cars is 0.66), but not the best either. Supercars usually have 1, while other muscle cars are dominated by 0.8. Brake force distribution (fBrakeBiasFront) - 0.7. This means that 70% of the deceleration work is done by the front wheels. This is too much, the distribution of 60/40 is considered standard. But the main problem of the Slamvan is not in this, but in the grip on the track on a straight line: 1.25 is one of the lowest parameters in the game among all cars.
IN gta v there is no anti-lock braking system (ABS), however, it is possible to block the wheels if the car has a low grip parameter. Signs of slipping will be a characteristic sound, as well as vibration of the gamepad if you use it. This can be avoided by modulating the braking force on the controller (keyboard players will not be able to do this for obvious reasons). We recorded a video with Slamvan braking at the same speed. On the left, the brake is 100% clamped, and on the right, it is only halfway.
As you can see, the gamepad made it possible to reduce both the time and the braking distance. In racing, this is an unprecedented benefit. However, it is worth noting that the behavior of not all machines depends on this, Rat-Loader and Slamvan are rather special cases. However, the possibility of gradation of gas, brake and steering deflection will make you a faster rider.
wing
In our descriptions of vehicles, we usually indicate the possibility of installing a rear wing on a car. And this is no accident. As you probably know, the rear wing from patch 1.14 on older consoles began to increase the grip parameter, which means it affects both cornering and braking. With turns, everything is clear: the speed is higher at the entrance and in the apex, and the ability to squeeze full throttle appears earlier. If before the car passed the test track in one minute, then with the wing it will be 3-4 seconds faster.
But the effect of the wing on the brakes is a much less known fact. For the demonstration, we took Massacro. Here it slows down to a complete stop from close to its maximum speed:
Even in this ideal case, the braking distance without the wing has increased by the body of the car. At higher speed supercars, the difference will be even greater. And if you take into account that not all tracks are located on a runway that is as smooth as silk, there are potholes and pits on ordinary roads, it becomes clear: the less time you spend on braking, the better the lap result.
An increase in downforce in the real world brings with it an inevitable decrease in top speed. IN gta v but you should not worry about this, the wing only helps the car to slow down better and enter turns.
tuning
To "max out" the parameters of the car, you need to buy the following parts in the tuning salon:
- racing brakes (Race Brakes)
- engine upgrade (EMS Upgrade, Level 4)
- transmission upgrade (Race Transmission)
- turbocharging (Turbo Tuning)
- wing (if available)
These modifications will make your car faster on the track. Everything else is purely cosmetic, does not affect the technical parameters of the car in any way and will not improve your lap time.
Some cars are already sold with a wing on the trunk, but such a factory solution Will not give traction bonus. It turns out stupid, but if you choose an option that does not even change the shape of the wing, but only repaints it in a secondary color, then the grip will increase. To make it easier to remember: even if the car already has a wing, you must definitely pay money for any of the options offered in the cabin. They all work the same, regardless of appearance.
At the time of writing, the only exception to this rule is the T20 supercar. In this car, the factory wing rises from the body when accelerating, and also acts as an aerodynamic brake when decelerating. It gives a bonus to grip with the track the same as a purchased wing from the salon. However, it is for the T20 that other options are not provided. It is easy to check the operation of this element: pass it 4-5 times with your back against the wall and the mechanism will break. After that, the wing will remain in the body, and the car will begin to experience understeer and braking problems.
Off-road wheels
All tires and rims gta v behave in exactly the same way, you will not buy time if you install something from the High End category on your brand new supercar. The interesting point is just the opposite - the potential failure. The fact is that off-road wheels drive the car much more smoothly over bumps and curbs. In some cases, a low supercar like the Zentorno can suddenly throw up at a slight angle. Yes, so that when landing a reversal will be impossible to avoid.
Off-road tires allow you to minimize such situations, which means you can fully concentrate on the race. Apparently, the height of the tire has an effect: a larger volume compensates for impacts better. Accordingly, the list in order of priority looks like this:
1.Offroad
2. Lowrider, Muscle, Tuner (they are the same)
3. Sport, SUV
4.High end
High End tires are very low, so while they look best on supercars, serious riders will still opt for off-road rims.
Methods of testing cars in GTA Online
If you've ever watched the British TV show Top Gear, you've probably seen the silent racer Stig drives cars on a special track laid along the old airfield. Objectively find out the data of each machine in gta v can only be done in the same way. Here the same Briton comes to the rescue Broughy1322 which we mentioned earlier.
He chose the original Cutting Coroners circuit as a test site and rebuilt it into a longer circuit, which he called the Cutting Coroners GP. The idea of the route is to check all the parameters of the car: there are fast and slow turns, a hairpin and a long straight. Its location in South Los Santos makes it dangerous due to poor road surfaces. We circled the Sultan to give you a visual idea of the route:
The first turn on Elgin Avenue is easy enough for cars with a wing, everyone else will have to slow down. The connection of the next bends in front of Legion Square is already more complicated: how you pass the first turn just behind the Olympic Highway will determine the time of the entire first sector. We advise you to slow down a little at the beginning, but this will allow you to stay on the right side of the road and jump out onto Strawberry Avenue at a much higher speed. You can turn into Utley Street at full throttle, but it is important to choose the right trajectory, otherwise you will fly into the trees on the sidewalk.
Having passed this danger, we jump over a couple of curbs enclosing the parking area. The rally Sultan copes with the task, and off-road tires will help supercars a lot here. The next deceleration downhill at the police station is very difficult. There was an error on the video: a miss past the apex and, as a result, a wide exit and a slight skid into the pole. Luckily, not much time was lost here. Having jumped the path of the city metro, turn right. The arrangement of multi-colored tires allows you to cut off a turn a little. Often errors occur in this place due to the demolition of the rear axle after the curb.
At the turn in front of the hospital again a small mistake - the car should be at least a meter closer to the tires. This will allow you to go through the turn faster and start accelerating earlier. Well, then it remains only to overcome the slow hairpin and start accelerating on the long straight to Grove Street. Next - a turn, on which you should be greedy and lay as wide a radius as possible, and finish.
Broughy1322 I was able to drive all the cars of the game around the track, even those that are only available in the single. You can see the results. We have no reason not to trust his research: the fact that our Sultan with a time of 1:06.99 and small errors showed a result two tenths of a second better can be explained by the fact that all cars at 60 FPS will be a little faster than their counterparts on consoles at 30 fps.
At the same time, in order to consistently cut circles with such a time, you need to spend at least a few hours. But all cars are different, you need to get used to each. Yes, it’s not the records that are important here (however, you are free to try to beat any of them), but the fact that each car was tested by one person who knows every piece of the track perfectly.
Curiously, the T20 runs the track in 1:01.894, and if you break her wing, she will be 4-5 seconds slower. This will roll it back from the first place in the class to the bottom of the list. This is how the lack of additional grip is expressed in a real race.
Fly in the ointment and conclusions
All results on this track can be taken into account, but you should not make a decision to buy this or that car only on the basis that it is the first on the list. If you don't hone your driving skills for several hours a day, but ride in open races with random players, then it does not matter at all that the T20 is a little faster than the Zentorno, and the Bullet has not earned the right to be called a supercar at all. 99 percent of the races are held with the catch up system turned on, but we will tactfully keep silent about the desire of the average GTA player to push the opponent in the first turn.
If the race runs in a straight line, then you need a high maximum speed and completely different cars will take the lead. Off-road racing is also troublesome: it’s one thing to fly the fastest lap in splendid isolation on the Sanchez’s rear wheel, it’s quite another to survive on bone-shaking bumps while six-wheeled Dubsta monsters breathe in your back. The Dominator among muscle cars will become the fastest only in the hands of an experienced racer, but for a beginner, rear-wheel drive and a powerful engine will cause trouble.
