The American Motors Splitz-6 ATV is a 6-wheeler ATV found only in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
Description[]
The Splitz-6 ATV was highlighted on an official website in the MeTV News segment, receiving significant acclaim from reporter Jenny Mitchell, who noted numerous favorable characteristics of the vehicle. It was deemed ideal for individuals residing in swampy regions, although Vice City lacks such areas. Only 5 to 10% of the trips made on the vehicle were reported to conclude without a drowning incident. It garnered enthusiastic reviews from both automotive aficionados and sailors, suggesting it would likely gain traction among bachelors and seafarers. However, this prediction proved to be incorrect, as two years later, the vehicle was entirely missing from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
According to the blueprint found on the website, the vehicle is 14' (4.26 m) in length, uses 12V 70W halogen headlights, and is equipped with the "Typ 6" tires with a high void ratio, staggered directionally grooved tread pattern, and full-length lug sipes.
Influence[]
The Splitz-6 ATV is based on the Crayford Argo 6x6 Bigfoot, with heavy influence taken from the MAX II 6x6 ATV, especially seen in the upper front design, as well as the roll bar, windscreen, and cargo rack. Certain design features may also have been inspired by the Havel SPYder 6x6 and the Amphicat ATV.
The name of the vehicle comes from the TV show The Banana Splits, which featured an Amphicat as their car.
Design[]
It is depicted as a novelty vehicle with a rather unique design, with a small windshield, a single seat and six wheels.
Performance[]
The Splitz-6 ATV is capable of traveling on land and water; however, it drives slowly on land, while in water it is even slower than the player's swimming speed. Its rather poor armor makes this vehicle very susceptible in wanted levels, especially those higher than two stars.
According to MeTV, the Splitz-6 ATV has a fuel consumption of 3 mpg.

Oversights[]
- Similarly to other six-axle vehicles in 3D Universe, the four rear wheels are programmed as a pair, which means that damaging either the second or third wheel results in the puncturing of both.
- When the vehicle is driven through the Little Haiti Storm Drain, it generates water splash particles, despite the storm drain being entirely dry.[1]
