This article lists all known vehicles cut from the final release of Grand Theft Auto V.
While the final game features over 300 vehicles (with more added in further updates), various forms of internal file information, including vehicle and handling data, audio, textures and even models, reveal more were, at at least one point during development, intended to be featured in the game in some way or form, but were removed or left unused. A number of previously-cut vehicles have made a return through updates, including those exclusively for the enhanced/expanded and enhanced versions and/or Grand Theft Auto Online - these are still listed here for historical reference.
Many vehicles underwent changes through their development, including name and design changes, removed customization options, or mission appearances, revealed by internal file data, pre-release screenshots or game trailers.

Freight Train | Originally featured black exhaust vents on at least one side of the engine unit, towards the rear of the locomotive. | |
Gang Burrito | Featured a logo of the Angels of Death, similar to its The Lost and Damned rendition. It might have been used to hide the involvment of The Lost MC in the overarching story of GTA V. This livery can also briefly be seen on The Underbelly Of Paradise. |

Data for this functionality across all siren lights also remains, but is unused.[75] | |
Sanchez (livery) | The liveries occasionally did not have the racing numbers on the front and sides, leading to inconsistency as the numbers appeared and disappeared in the various promotional footage. This inconsistency was particularly evident in Franklin's Trailer, where the numbers alternated between scenes. In the Grand Theft Auto Online: Official Gameplay Video, all livery variations were devoid of any numbers. | ![]() As seen in the Grand Theft Auto Online: Official Gameplay Video. ![]() Also seen on Rockstar Games Social Club prior to 2019. |

Numerous police vehicles are depicted with their emergency light colors reversed; in-game, lights appear red-blue, when viewed from behind, however many pre-release screenshots depict lights as blue-red from the same view. Even earlier screenshots depict the lights in the layout they appear in-game, suggesting the layout was changed numerous times during development. | |
Police Maverick | Originally lacked "LSPD" text underneath the fuselage, and featured a different set of skids, also used on the Frogger in the final game. | |
Rapid GT | Appears without grill mesh in both the upper and lower front intake grilles. | |

Numerous vehicles | Vehicles using the "Schafter" interior (such as the Schafter itself, the Felon and Cognoscenti Cabrio) originally featured a slightly different interior dial design and touchscreen display, seen briefly during the GTA V PS4, Xbox One and PC Announcement Trailer.

|
A vehicle based on the Chevrolet HHR, of which a picture can be found in Simeon's office at Premium Deluxe Motorsport with "HHR" visibly printed on the bottom right corner.

It assumes a similar black/white LSPD livery as the in-game Police Cruiser (with additional "POLICE" text underneath the emblem on the doors) but is based upon the first-generation body shape, which is in turn based on GTA V's civilian Stanier. The lightbar was also reused as one of the two possible lightbar extras that may spawn on the Police Cruiser.

An unused "Seaplane" police scanner speech line also remains.[98] | |||
Pegassi Speeder | A boat that closely resembles the Speeder but with a different, closer to its real-life counterpart, windshield, and featuring a flag at the front is seen on the various Flying Bravo billboards. The Speeder was later added to the game with the Beach Bum Update. The render was later used for the banner on DockTease website, after the Ill-Gotten Gains Part 1 update, which reveals the rest of the boat's design and the fact that it featured two-tone paintjob, chrome trim going around the boat and a different bow design. Additionally an unused DockTease image, prior to the Beach Bum Update, could have been found in the files. It depicts the Speeder without any badging and two-tone paintjob. |

Benefactor Serrano variant | serrano2
|
A second variant of the Serrano, most likely the customised variant from The Ballad Of Gay Tony.

It also has a set of unused customisation parts, which are identical to the customisation parts of the regular Serrano.[101] It is likely that the customised variant was cut in favor of customisation parts for the regular Serrano. |

Unknown | A commercial/private rear-mounted twin-engine aircraft. The plane can be seen during a police pursuit in Michael's trailer, featuring a white body and bright green tail.

The aircraft bears resemblance to an aircraft of the same configuration in Max Payne 3. | ![]() Also seen in the background of the Shamal's listing on the Elitás Travel in-game website (prior to the website's update after the Ill-Gotten Gains Part 1 update). | ||
Vulkan | vulkan
|
A VTOL/hover-enabled fighter jet. The aircraft's name, Warstock Cache & Carry website description and hover ability can be found in text files.[109][110] Various visual and particle effects, including the aircraft's "nozzle" haze effects and settings for the aircraft's afterburner and exhaust behavior, also remain.[111][112] The aircraft missile lock-on sounds found on vehicles such as the P-996 LAZER and Buzzard Attack Chopper are named after the Vulkan, and the name is also mentioned in a police scanner speech line.[113][114]
An aircraft identical to the one seen in the first and second trailers can be seen on an in-game TV commercial for the Cunning Stunt Academy, where its "V-22" tail-markings are visible. Given the letter V, and the later-appearing Hydra's "H-27" markings, it's likely the aircraft seen in the trailer was the Vulkan and later returned as the Hydra in the Heists update. |

Cut Features[]
Numerous vehicles had features cut, such as special abilities, vehicle animations, liveries and customization options.
Vehicle name | Feature type(s) | Description | Images |
---|---|---|---|
Cut features seen only during trailers/in-game media | |||
Duster | Functionality | Had the ability to spray pesticide from its wing-mounted sprayers. This ability is possible in Grand Theft Auto Online, but only produces a single spray trail from the rear tail. After the Los Santos Drug Wars update for the enhanced version of the game, the wing-mounted sprayers were made functional during a particular mission, but still remain non-functional in regular gameplay. | A Duster spraying pesticide from its wing sprayers, seen during GTA V's first trailer. |
Cut/"unused" features which can be obtained with trainers | |||
Frogger (TPE) | Livery | The TPE variant of the Frogger helicopter also features an alternative, unused livery featuring FIB markings.[235]
The livery can still be obtained with the use of a trainer. The livery was later used in the enhanced/expanded and enhanced versions of Grand Theft Auto Online as part of The Contract update, during the Data Recovery setup mission. |
![]() Frogger with the FIB livery in Grand Theft Auto V. (Rear quarter view) |
Police Cruiser ("interceptor") | Customization | The Police Cruiser has several unused customization options, including several hood, front and rear bumper, skirts and pushbar options. As police vehicles cannot be modified at Los Santos Customs or other modshops, they cannot be obtained without the use of save game editing or a trainer. | ![]() Customized example of the Police Cruiser in Grand Theft Auto V. (Rear quarter view) |
Rental Shuttle Bus | Variation | The Rental Shuttle Bus' rear roof canopy is optional, similar to the Tour Bus, but is forced as a permanent extra, and therefore cannot be removed without the use of save game editing or a trainer. | ![]() Example of a roof-less Rental Shuttle Bus in Grand Theft Auto V. (Rear quarter view) |
Cut features with only partial data or assets remaining | |||
BeeJay XL | Functionality | The ability to tow the Boat trailer and Utility trailer (and later the Anti-Aircraft Trailer) was cut. As the three vehicle models do not have the appropriate towing bones to couple up these trailers to the rear tow hitches (which none of these models have physically), they cannot tow.[236][237][238] | |
Rancher XL | |||
Seminole | |||
Bodhi | Functionality | The ability to tow trailers with the Bodhi was cut. The Bodhi will "accept" any trailer it is reversed up to in the same way as other towing vehicles, such as the Phantom and Packer, or the Bison and Sadler. The vehicle cannot connect up to any trailers as it does not have any trailers defined in its vehicle data, but, unlike the latter three non-towing SUVs, the presence of a rear trailer hitch and an attach_female dummy on the model suggests it was intended to tow trailers, and causes the camera to shift when attempting to do so.
|
![]() Example of the Bodhi's ability to tow trailers restored by adding trailers to the vehicle's towing data. |
Clown Van | Customization | The Clown Van has several unused customization options, including a front bumper bar, spoiler, roof lights and side-mounted exhausts. As the vehicle has not been set up to use these options, the they cannot be applied. | ![]() Example of the Clown Van with its customization options restored in Grand Theft Auto V. (Rear quarter view) |
Police Transporter | Functionality | The center white light appearing on the Police Transporter's lightbar was originally intended to light up. Siren light data for siren4 , the center spinning light, is present but due to the lack of sequencer values for it, does not spin or flash in-game. The corona color value for this siren entry is also white.[239]
|
![]() Example of the Police Transporter with its center white lightbar light restored in Grand Theft Auto V. (Rear quarter view) |
Rapid GT (cabrio) | Customization | The convertible Rapid GT has two unused customization options for the "Hoods" category. | |
Utility Truck (AWP) | Animation | The AWP/cherrypicker variant of the Utility Truck has an unused animation in the enhanced version of the game. The animation allows the crane to be raised and lowered on command, using an identical setup to that of convertible roofs (such as on the Tornado or Cognoscenti Cabrio). If restored, the animation does not allow for the player to climb up or onto the crane as the collisions do not move. The animation will also play in NPC-controlled traffic should it start or stop raining, just like convertible roofs.[240] | ![]() Utility Truck's unused crane animation in action, when restored. |

Cut Manufacturers[]
Various vehicle manufacturers were cut during the game's development. Some of these are heard in police scanner audio files, while others are mentioned in-game (such as on websites or photographs) but do not appear on vehicle badges or in the vehicle's HUD name.
Some of these have returned with subsequent Grand Theft Auto Online updates.

Traffic/Ambient Behavior Changes[]
Changes made to the behavior of vehicles in traffic during gameplay.
- In the first trailer, a Bodhi can be seen in traffic. It also appears in a different colour set that the Bodhi does not spawn in in regular gameplay, if restored.[249]
- In the first trailer, a Cognoscenti Cabrio can be seen in traffic shortly before being crashed into by a pursued Rapid GT.
- In Franklin's trailer, a Fame or Shame Trailer is seen being towed in regular traffic. In the final game, this trailer only appears during specific missions.[250]
- In the game files, the Cheetah was supposed to spawn in ambient scenario traffic along with other sports and super cars.[251] The Cheetah is listed in a vehicle model set named "Rockford Cars", a set of vehicles which are intended to spawn in certain scenarios in-game, such as driving in and out of driveways. It appears this model set is unused, however, and so the Cheetah does not appear in regular gameplay.
- In the game files, an unknown vehicle model set, internally named "FARM_WORKERS" within
ymap
files, is referenced numerous times across the map, but does not occur. "FARM WORKERS" does not exist withinvehiclemodelsets.meta
and the game simply resorts to spawning a regular Bison. It is likely this is a beta model set which contained the Bison alongside other farm vehicles, suggested by the name of the model set.[252] - In the game files, the Annihilator was intended to be used by the NOOSE during wanted levels. Within
dispatch.meta
, the Annihilator is listed alongside the Police Maverick as air vehicles used by the NOOSE, however the set of data is not used.[253]- Furthermore, police dispatch/scanner audio files also name the Annihilator, suggesting its use in GTA V story mode, as the police scanner is absent in GTA Online.[254]
