Admiral The horn sound of the Admiral can be found in the iFruit app files.

Combine Harvester The Combine Harvester from GTA San Andreas was meant to makes a return, but was cut for unknown reasons. A photo of it can be found inside the game files. It assumed the GTA San Andreas appearance, albeit with a overall green body. A photo of it and police scanner audio are still in the game files.

Digger A vehicle called "digger" was cut from the game. Nothing is known about it apart from the name suggesting it was a construction vehicle. The only mention of the vehicle can be found in a file called "objectcovertuning.ymt", and a police scanner mention.

Esperanto The horn sound of the Esperanto can be found in the iFruit app files. This implies an appearance of the civilian Esperanto, along with the police variant featured in the Prologue.

Feroci The horn sound of the Feroci can be found in the iFruit app files. Police scanner audio files and interior textures also exist in the game files.

Hunter The Hunter from GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories was meant to be included in GTA V, but ended up being taken out for unknown reasons. Sound files and police scanner audio, however, have been left in the game's data. It can be seen in the in-game trailer movie for The Simian, as well as on the Warstock Cache & Carry advertisement. It is most likely replaced by the Savage, a similar helicopter featured in GTA Online.

Lokus The horn sound of the Lokus can be found in the iFruit app files.

Marbelle The Willard Marbelle is a four-door sedan from GTA IV that was meant to return, but was cut. Only its handling and police scanner audio remain.

Squaddie Squaddie was the military variant of the Patriot, based on the HMMWV M1097A2 variant and similar to the Patriot from GTA Chinatown Wars Nintendo DS rendition, can be seen on the Warstock Cache & Carry advertisement. However, it is not seen anywhere in GTA V, which means that it was deleted early. The possible replacement is the Crusader.

Police Fugitive It is stated on Southern San Andreas Super Autos website that "The Fugitive is the go-to cruiser for law enforcement and those that want to pretend they are law enforcement. The gas mileage isn't so great, but cops mostly sit with the car idling anyways.". Interestingly, the police scanner audio files speaks in dispatcher voice saying "Police Fugitive", meaning there was indeed one in the beta. The Interceptor is likely its replacement, since it lacks a civilian version. Light texture of the Fugitive also contains police car lights, further proving that it was going to be a police car.

Presidente The horn for the Presidente is in the files of the iFruit app.

Uranus The Uranus is included in GTA V's handling files, suggesting it may have been in the game at one point. Also horn inside iFruit app was found. Only its wrecked form in rural areas can be found.

Winky An unknown cut car. Only its handling remains. Winky would be a small car, according to its name.

Issi Although there's already an Issi in the game, another Issi, possibly meant to be a variant was cut. The current Issi's model is called "issi2", suggesting that another variant ("issi") was cut. It is unknown what this Issi would have looked like, but It may have been a hardtop, as most convertibles are, in fact, shared with hardtop models.

Comet Given that the Comet in GTA V is named "Comet" internally, it is likely a "normal" version was also to have existed in development.

Schafter The GTA IV version was meant to reappear and coexist with the new Schafter.

Stockade A non-snow variant of the Bobcat Security Stockade.

Feltzer The GTA IV version was meant to be appear and coexist with the new Feltzer.

RC Vehicle An unknown cut vehicle, only the audio remains. It was possibly this was one of the RC vehicles from 3D Universe.

Trawler Unknown fishing boat. Engine, horn and police scanner audio still in the game files.

Vulkan A fighter jet with the ability to toggle hover mode. Police Scanner, description for website and a lot of coding remains inside the games files. Rebadged and released in a DLC as the Hydra.

Hellfury The Hellfury from GTA IV was meant to make a return but was cut. Police scanner audio files and horn inside iFruit are still in the game files.

Bobcat Not to be confused with the Bobcat XL, the shorter GTA IV variant was meant to reappear, but was cut. Police scanner audio files are still in the game files.

TR3 Nothing is known about this vehicle, only its police scanner audio files are left in the game files.

Trial Not much is known about this vehicle, its name suggest that it might have been a Trial Bike. Only its police scanner audio files are left in the game files.

SXR Nothing is known about this vehicle, only its police scanner audio files are left in the game files.

RC Bandito Not to be confused with the RC Bandit in previous games, this vehicle is possibly similar to the Bandito from GTA San Andreas, however now as an Remote Controlled vehicle. Police Scanner audio is still in the game files.

Wayfarer The Wayfarer from TLAD or the original San Andreas version was meant to reappear. However, it was cut. Only police scanner audio are left in the game files.

Kart The Kart from GTA San Andreas was meant to make a return but was cut. Police scanner audio is still in the game files.

Police scanner audio is still in the game files. A Rancher Monster Truck can be seen on a poster in Yellow Jack Inn.

Unknown (SUV) Nothing is known about this vehicle, it is based heavily off the Chevrolet HHR. A photo of the vehicle can be found pinned in Simeon's office at the Premium Deluxe Motorsport Dealership behind his desk.

Air Boat/Fanboat Unknown Airboat/Fanboat. The only remains are the police scanner referring to its vehicle category. The likely reason for its removal is that airboats are primarily used in swamp-like areas whereas the only in-game location that would be able to use it to it's full potential is in Lago Zancudo.

Hydrofoil Unknown Hydrofoil boat. The only remains are the police scanner referring to its vehicle category.

Skateboard The Skateboard was cut again once its deletion from GTA San Andreas. Only police scanner remains, although the Skateboard exists in-game as an uncontrollable prop.

Steel Horse A brand from GTA IV was meant to reappear. While there are no playable Steel Horse vehicles in GTA V, the office of Beeker's Garage in Paleto Bay, Blaine County features a manual for a Steel Horse featuring Steel Horse logos, and a similar poster. As the Hexer in-game is a custom bike made by the chop shop Liberty City Cycles, it is possible that the standard Hexer is manufactured by Steel Horse. The Police Scanner audio still remains in the files.

Sabre The original Sabre from GTA IV was meant to reappear. Police Scanner and horn inside iFruit remains.

EOD Unknown vehicle. Most likely a military vehicle intended for explosive ordnance disposals. Police Scanner remains.

Horses Horses were not only animals, but were also rideable. Horses were cut, but horse-related locations like Vinewood Racetrack, La Fuente Blanca, etc. Police Scanner and much of the files remains.

Buzzard (police livery) There was probably a police variant of the Buzzard helicopter. Texture remains in game files. However, "N230MP" exists in the unarmed Buzzard, which is often used by the LSPD and can spawn wherever Police Mavericks spawn. Only the stencil was deleted from the in-game version.

SuperGT The SuperGT from GTA IV was meant to return. Interior and horn inside iFruit were found.

Freeway Horn for "Bobber" - beta and internal name for Freeway, was found inside iFruit.

Vigero2 The horn of the beater Vigero can be found in the iFruit app files.

Yankee The horn of the Yankee can be found in the iFruit app files.

"FBIOLD" Unknown vehicle, although its name suggests it was an old vehicle used by the FIB just like the old police vehicles in North Yankton. Only its handling remains. As its handling is almost, if not completely identical to the Police Roadcruiser, it was likely a variant.

Serrano Second version of Serrano from TBoGT was meant to reappear as a stand-alone vehicle. Handling data and customization models remain.

"SPMED" Unknown plane, that had weaponry. Handling remains.

"SPSMALL" Unknown plane, that had weaponry. Handling remains.

Scamp The only remnants of this vehicle are handling files which can be found in the game's internal files.

As seen in its handling data, it was an aircraft with a similar mass to some small aircraft, such as the Duster, the Mammatus, etc. Although this is unconfirmed, it is quite possible that the Scamp would have been the name for the unknown high-wing airplane, which was dropped from the game during development.

Jetpack There are various lines of internal code suggesting that the Jetpack was a planned item and was meant to return from GTA San Andreas during the game's development, but it was dropped before release. However, no Jetpack model nor texture has been found in the game's internal files, suggesting that it was cut early in development.

Beagle While the Beagle is not present anywhere in the final version of Grand Theft Auto V, it is mentioned during the mission Pack Man, where Trevor tells Lamar he used to "borrow a Beagle" when young, to which Lamar replies "Kids with planes". It is possible that the Beagle was featured in the beta version of the game but was cut for unknown reasons with no leftover files, or one of the planes was scheduled to be called Beagle. Although it might also be or have relations to the unknown seaplane stated below.

Unknown (Skull Motorcycle) Photo of the motorcycle is found on some of manuals in the office of Beeker's Garage in Paleto Bay, Blaine County. It seems to be modified Hexer and features resemblance to Sanctus.

Speedo variants Additional variants, namely "speedo3" and "speedo4" are listed in a file called "objectcovertuning.ymt". It is unknown what speedo3 could be, while the Clown Van's textures hint at the possibility of speedo4 being a worn out version of of the normal Speedo.

Unknown (Private Jet) The photo of the jet can be seen on the Elitas Travel purchase page. It seems to be looked like the Shamal or the Ghawar from TBOGT.

FIB Helicopter
The FIB Helicopter was supposed to be an FIB variant of the Frogger but was removed for unknown reasons. It can only be obtained by spawning Trevor Phillips Enterprises Frogger and changing the livery.



Bale Trailer
A trailer intended to carry bale loads, that could be towed with a Fieldmaster. It cannot be found anywhere in the game, but the model, name, handling and all other related code still exist in the files.

Grain Trailer
Similar to the bale trailer, the Grain Trailer was intended to be towed by Fieldmasters. This version contains grain.
