Trivia[]
- InGrand Theft Auto: San Andreas for PC, there is a data file titledcarcols.dat which names some vehicle brands: one known brand (Maibatsu), one later-known brand (Shitsu, notShitzu) and two unknown brands (Nioka and Kunst). So far, no one can tell which vehicles these brands have produced in the game.
- Kraken andWillard manufacture vehicles named after themselves.
- Because of the absence of their vehicles,Steel Horse andLiberty Chop Shop are the only vehicle brands in theHD Universe that have not reappeared inGTA V orGTA Online to date. However, theHexer is seen branded as Steel Horse on manuals and posters.
- The betaBlista Compact seen in a screenshot ofGrand Theft Auto: Vice City possesses a manufacturer badge identical toChrysler's Pentastar badge which was used on some Chrysler andDodge models in the 1980s to mid-1990s.
- While bicycles inGrand Theft Auto V do not have any specific manufacturers listed, the2023 source code leak indicates that internally theBMX,Cruiser, andScorcher are manufactured byPED[4], while theTri-Cycles Race Bike,Endurex Race Bike, andWhippet Race Bike are manufactured byTri-Cycles[5].
