Vehicle Manufacturers

The following is a list of vehicle manufacturers that appear throughout the Grand Theft Auto series. Explicitly-named vehicle brands were very rarely encountered in the 3D Universe games, and often only existed in in-game advertising and signage. However, their use was greatly expanded in the HD Universe, where most vehicles have a designated brand.

Trivia[]

Kraken and Willard manufacture vehicles named after themselves.
The beta Blista Compact seen in a screenshot of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City possesses a manufacturer badge identical to Chrysler's Pentastar badge which was used on some Chrysler and Dodge models in the 1980s to mid-1990s.
While bicycles in Grand Theft Auto V do not have any specific manufacturers listed, the 2023 source code leak indicates that internally the BMX, Cruiser, and Scorcher are manufactured by PED^[4], while the Tri-Cycles Race Bike, Endurex Race Bike, and Whippet Race Bike are manufactured by Tri-Cycles^[5]. Logos for both manufacturers can be found in the mpcarhud^[6]. These logos were also originally visible on the Pedal and Metal Cycles website, located at the bottom of the page.
