Cars in Vice City. Cars for the garage in GTA: Vice City

03.03.2021

This mission is sometimes not paid enough attention, others consider it boring and lengthy. Yes, and complex and incomprehensible. But the GTA series is a game specifically about , you can go through it and not know the names of the cars or their characteristics. The first couple of times you can easily understand this - you want to quickly complete exciting and dynamic missions. But, if you play Vice City several times with feeling and sense, slowly, then this mission becomes very interesting and useful. For fans who want to know as much as possible about GTA, who are interested in everything, I have compiled a small guide to the cars that are needed for the garage.

Garage mission in GTA Vice City consists of four stages. After completing each one, you receive money (I didn’t count how much in total, but about a hundred thousand) and a new car. The last one is the only one in the game, very cool racing car. And the penultimate one is also seasoned.

Below are all the tasks you need to complete. When you get into the car in the right bottom corner the name is displayed, it does not always match English name cars and is often written in Russian. Therefore, I indicated some names in brackets, exactly as they appear on the screen.


Click on the picture to see photos of all the cars and tips on where to find them.

Any game from the series Grand Theft Auto is based on the use of a vehicle for crime or simply for transportation. Therefore, the list of cars for GTA Vice City is extensive, with about 100 models. All vehicles, in turn, are divided into 12 classes:

  • Regular cars
  • Sports cars
  • Buses and minibuses
  • Trucks
  • City service vehicles
  • Police units
  • Surface transport
  • Aircraft
  • Motorcycles
  • SUVs
  • Cars from the ghetto
  • Other modes of transport

Let's now talk about each car from the “Classic” class separately. Let's take it apart, so to speak.

One of the most common cars that can be found on the streets of Vice City. The Admiral's design can be described in one word: "Classic". He has an average speed (by game standards) of 165 km/h. This car appears in the very first video (where Tommy runs away from the cops with his lawyer). In the mission "Guardian Angels" the player will gain access to the invulnerable Admiral.
Admiral
A real “American horse”: a heavy body, a multi-liter engine, and, due to its dimensions, occupies the entire strip. Despite such a refined style, the car requires the driver to show all the skills to successfully enter a turn at speed. If the navigator is a master of his craft, Esperanto will allow you to take everything from the road and your engine.
Esperanto
Today the car is hopelessly outdated. He is so unappreciated that he is easily entered into competitions in derby races. Glendale is purchased by poor people or ghetto tuning enthusiasts. In the poor areas of the City of Vice you can get hold of such a car.
Glendale
Are you still thinking of escaping persecution due to this misfortune? Forget it, as this car hits easily and doesn't have the most responsive handling. Despite its shortcomings, the car received its place in the heart of the ghetto.
Greenwood
This is the type of car the Cubans use. Without tuning, this product looks dull and grayish. However, these are not all of its disadvantages. If the driver picks up a decent speed, he will not be able to stop at the right moment due to the long braking distance. The same problem applies to sharp turns. It's better to leave this car in your garage for collection, but nothing more.
Hermes
Another product of the “American Dream”. The body of such cars was no longer made in the style of a spaceship, but the love for elongated bodies has not gone away.
Idaho
Here she is: the most wretched, the slowest and clumsiest, the most inconspicuous. If there is a world where there are cars instead of people, this car will be a poor disabled person with one kidney.
Manana
The car has an unusually shaped body, which is very noticeable compared to other vehicles. Oceanic is popular with lowriders and Latin ghetto mafias.
Oceanic
How do you feel about the prospect of stalling 100 meters from your garage? Not happy, right? So, there is nothing to do while driving this tin can. It's better to walk than to drive this.
Perennial
Good car for an exemplary family man, who has a wife and a couple of wonderful kids. However, such a car is definitely not suitable for the crazy rhythm of life of Tommy Vercetti.
Regina
At first glance, it is an aggressive king of the road. So it is, but up to a certain point: until the time of turning comes. For lovers drive fast Saber won't work. Actually, it won’t suit anyone, because why play GTA if you’re not going to press the gas pedal?
Sabre
Don't you see anything familiar here? Exactly! This is a BMW fifth model. The body completely follows the design of the Bavarian car, but the front round headlights have become square, and the distinctive split partition on the bumper has been replaced with a standard one. The game features an improved version of Sentinel – XS. This model Has speed close to sports cars.
Sentinel
Another representative of “muscle” cars. The Stallion image was compiled from such great cars as Ford, Chevrolet or Pontiac. Soft suspension– the only reason why street racers avoid this pain.
Stallion
A limousine is long, clumsy, slow, expensive. The only plus is that you can take the girls for rides and treat them to champagne.
Stretch
This car completely replicates Esperanto. Look, even the body has adopted the style of the previous model. Clumsy controls are also here to stay.
Virgo
Washington, but not George or the city. Classic car, which doesn’t really stand out.
Washington
Russian cars

Not satisfied standard equipment fleet in the game? No problem. There is a wide range of modifications that replace standard car to the desired one. For example, you can put Russian GTA cars Vice City and enjoy the update. There is a small disadvantage of such additions: all the new models and textures in practice do not look very aesthetically pleasing. The replaced car will stand out from the general style of play. Looking at the screenshot below, it will become clear what we are talking about.

New cars, improved graphics, replaced textures and music – this is the list of changes in the modified game “GTA: Vice City - Real Mod 2014”. Here, each car has its own unique look, taken from real life, and its characteristics are the same. You can start the car and drive to the other end of the city just to enjoy the sound of the engine, speed and control. It's nice to drive such cars in third person, because there is a real city, where you can visit many establishments. It is not necessary to complete the main quest, but in order to earn money for entertainment and other aspects of the gameplay, it is worth paying a little attention to the central passage.

The hero of the plot is Tommy Vercetti, who served a sentence of fifteen years in prison. This is a terrifying amount of time that can make you go crazy, but the guy coped with the pressure on his psyche and returned back to his homeland to continue his criminal business. His boss turned out to be a bastard because he was always jealous of his subordinate's skills, and therefore decided to set him up again, but this time with a fatal outcome. The drug supply turned out to be a failure, and therefore the hero is forced to look for the culprit in order to take both the money and the powder from him. However, soon he will be lucky to get big money and take control of the enemy’s business, which is why the old boss will appear on the doorstep with claims.

Finding a mod for GTA Vice City that could change the gameplay, add something new and transform the game is not so easy. More than fifteen years have passed since the game was released, and during this time many modders have managed to make their mark with their content. Some people worked individually to improve certain aspects.

Others joined teams and created content that would add global changes. These are the ones we are talking about in the article. Here, every fan of the game will find a selection of modifications that can restore interest in their favorite world, after years of oblivion.

Global weather change

Vice City mods are often created in order to add something new to the project. The authors of the “Wintering” modification decided to cover the entire map of the sunny metropolis with snow. A clear advantage of this project is that the vehicles can be tested in a different environment. The roads are slippery and you can easily skid on them even at average speed, not to mention maximum overclocking. On the other hand, the change of seasons is not felt due to the clothes of the non-player characters, as well as the green trees. In any case, for fans of the GTA series because of transport, the modification should definitely be installed. This is done using a special installer in just two clicks.

Bias towards racing

It's no secret that many users view the GTA series as a sandbox with the ability to have fun in different vehicles. It happened to everyone new part. Fans often devote time to creating mods with new car models, for example, Modern mod for GTA Vice City. With its installation, the appearance of the vehicle is completely transformed, but the authors from The Revival Of Games team decided to go even further. They created a modification called Underground 2, for which they took inspiration from the first parts of the Fast and Furious saga.

Racing in GTA Vice City

This project has a completely different plot that focuses on racing competitions. Stealing cars for competitions on tracks right in the city has become unprofitable. They are too slow, and real race cars sell for a lot of money in special stores. In addition, you need to put nitro on them if you want to be first at the finish line. Of the entire fleet, only 15 prototypes can be equipped with nitrous oxide. It's also worth remembering that cars consume fuel. It is also not cheap, and without gasoline, movement is impossible. As a result of all these changes, the project feels completely different. The gameplay has become more complex and teaches you to take care of the car you bought for considerable money, and for racing fans, the modification will be a real salvation.

Change on all fronts

Many authors devote their attention to individual aspects of the game world, while others approach the problem of the need for improvements globally. The people who made mod GTA Vice City Deluxe took the second path. This project is not intended to add new mechanics or story. Here the focus is 90 percent on reworking old textures. Many houses have changed in appearance, others have become accessible to visitors. The total number of cafes, restaurants, and various attractions has increased. The authors used higher quality textures, but did not forget to take care of optimization. The modification does not require more powerful hardware, and the surroundings are more pleasing to the eye than before. Much attention was also paid to transport. After installing the mod, all models will be replaced with real prototypes with a full rendering of the interior

inside and outside. Damage is displayed correctly on vehicles, and many vehicles have realistic controls. After the first glance at familiar models, you will want to try them out. Another nice feature is the addition of amateur Russian voice acting in some assemblies. The modders paid a lot of attention to the sound of weapons and vehicles, added a new soundtrack and several radio stations. The game is truly transformed beyond recognition.

Compensation for the sexual component in the game

Fans of the Rockstar Games studio love them largely because they have always tried to move away from censorship in the GTA series. Only in the world there are age restrictions that are imposed by a special commission. The authors added the ability to use the services of a “moth,” but the process itself is shown in the form of a shaking machine. During an erotic dance in a strip club, you can only admire the curves under an indecent outfit. The same applies to filming erotic films, but there is no possibility of going further. The fans themselves took it upon themselves to correct such a serious flaw.

Hot Coffee mod for GTA Vice City

They created the Hot Coffee mod for GTA Vice City, which immediately gained great popularity. This work completely removes all censorship in the project and allows you to watch animated sex scenes. The process of developing such a project is no less interesting than the content itself. It turns out that all the necessary files were encrypted by the developers inside the code. Modders only used them and converted them into a separate modification. The rating commission found out about this and changed the mark from 17+ to 18+. The developers wanted to place all the blame on hackers, but this no longer interests anyone. The main thing is that the cut content in the form of intimacy between men and women can be added to the game by anyone.

Fighting the walking dead

A mod for GTA Vice City that adds a zombie city is called Long Night Zombie City and is a global change to the gameplay. The new story tells how an unexpected disaster befell a sunny metropolis in the form of an unknown virus. People began to turn into the walking dead. The player takes on the role of one of the survivors who wants to get out of this crazy city at any cost. It became safe to move around the streets only when armored car. The authors have created full-fledged survival mechanics with a large number of different useful items, the need to eat and drink.

It has become more difficult to meet people in this world; they are all trying to somehow live another day, waiting for salvation from the outside. According to the plot, users will have to go through 20 new missions and learn the story of the main character. The developers approached their work from a professional perspective. They added useful vehicles and new types of weapons to diversify the gameplay. Here you can fully survive while completing missions. The second entertainment will be collecting weapons and signature madness on the city streets. The only difference is that the targets will be the living dead. They make attempts to get the victim, even after losing their own limbs.

The role of a superhero

For GTA Vice City, the Starmen mod is not very popular among all global modifications, but it should be mentioned separately. After installation, the appearance of the main character is transformed and this can be considered the only plus. The GTA Vice City Starmen mod does not bring any additional functions, although many expected the ability to fly. Most likely, at the time of creation of this modification it was technically difficult to implement such a function.

GTA Vice City Starmen mod

She only appeared in the next part of San Andreas, and Vice City fans have to make do appearance. Iron Man, in the place of the main character in all future parts of GTA, could also shoot rockets from his hands, and in the latest project of the line he could even do super blows in close combat. In GTA 5, the model of this superhero is most accurately realized, and during the flight there is a feeling of genuine admiration. Unfortunately, the GTA Vice City Starmen mod is a regular skin even without additional armor or any protection features.

Review of some of the most incredible mods for GTA Vice City

After purchasing Sunshine Auto, listings are posted on the right after going down to the garages. There are 4 garages with 2 cars each for a total of 8 cars. It is also highly recommended to buy real estate near the auto stadium, there are 3 more garages 1x4+2x2=8 cars. Plus, you can use the garage at Diaz’s estate (aka Versetti Mansion), which is another plus for 2 cars. Naturally, we drive cars from the first list straight to the garage with the lists; we place cars from 2-4 lists that we meet on the street in existing garages, so that later they can be very quickly driven to the garage with the lists.

For clarity, all lists with pictures:

List No. 1:

Landstalker

The Jeep often drives near the Sunshine dealership, so there shouldn't be any problems with it.

Idaho


I found a car with a removable top driving around the Downtown area. If you ride it and carefully look around, the chance of Esperanto appearing will increase. We drive one of the cars into a garage near the stadium, and take the second to Sunshine.

Esperanto


This car with a powerful zigzag front bumper can also be seen driving around the Downtown area. If you ride an Idaho, the chance of its appearance increases significantly.

Stallion


There is no need to look particularly hard for the stallion. We are going to the multi-level parking lot behind the Ocean View Hotel. Usually there are countless of these stallions, you don’t even need to go upstairs. But if the game still decides to spawn the parking lot with something else, we go up to the place in the screenshot, go through the Gone Creasy race and pick up the stallion, regardless of the results of the race.

Rancher


The Jeep can be seen quite often near the Sunshine area and the Airport. The likelihood of an encounter increases significantly if you ride a Landstalker.

Blista Compact


The legendary eight... front-wheel drive small car of the GTA series. Quite common on the first island in the Malibu club area, as well as in nearby parking lots. Although it also comes across Downtown, I brought Blista from there.

Reward for completing the 1st list: the car dealership begins to generate a small regular income and an advanced version of Blista - Deluxo

List No. 2:
Appears after the first list is completely closed. I hope some of your cars have already been assembled and are in your garages:

Saber


A powerful heavy sedan is worth looking for in the Downtown area. I was spotted and stolen in the area of ​​the fire station.

Virgo


I stole this two-seater sedan with a massive front bumper from the roadway on the first island not far from the office of decorator... lawyer Rosenberg.

Sentinel


The simplest "mission". We go to the Sunshine office, the sedan is parked there. All that was left was to smash the window with the car and slide down.

Stretch


There is no need to look for a limousine around the city. It sits quietly parked next to Diaz's former mansion - to the right of the front entrance.

Washington


The sedan can be found both on the first island (near the supermarket in the south), in the parking lot next to it, and on the second - it sometimes drives right next to our car dealership.

Admiral


This "admiral's" sedan is apparently intended for important officials. Found him on Diaz Island, simple people They don’t drive Rydvans there. I saw screenshots online where the car was illuminated... also on Diaz Island (Starfish Island).

Reward for completing the 2nd list: the car dealership begins to bring in several thousand dollars every day and a heavily upgraded version of the Sabra - Saber Turbo

List No. 3:
With this list everything is easier. Almost all cars regularly appear on Diaz Island (Starfish Island).

Cheetah


The sports car drives back and forth around Diaz Island. But not always. The likelihood increases dramatically if you are driving a Comet.

Infernus


There shouldn't be any problems here. The local equivalent of a Ferrari can be found everywhere in the city, most often, of course, in expensive areas. And always - in the parking lot to the left of the main entrance to the Diaz mansion.

Banshee


This elite car naturally drives around wealthy areas, although it also appears often in less prestigious ones. You can increase the likelihood of occurrence with any sports car. I picked it up on the road right next to the car dealership.

Phoenix


A sports car with sharp shapes a la muscle car and a characteristic bell on the hood. You can also look for it on Diaz Island, it’s good if you’re sitting in another sports car. But he also often drives near Sunshine Auto.

Comet


On Diaz Island, in the open garage of a house not far from the main mansion, a local equivalent of a Porshe sits quietly. It can be driven last, when you find the rest of the sports cars. We just sit in it, drive around Starfish Island and see what other sports cars the game will spawn for us.

Stinger


A rocket sports car with an open top and deep headlights spawns there, on a rich island, and according to the same rules as other sports cars. We take Comet and ride in circles.

Reward for completing the 3rd list: the car dealership begins to bring in up to 6 thousand dollars daily and is excellent powerful SUV Sandking(will be located on the second floor of the Sunshine office).

List No. 4:
The easiest list. Apart from the Cuban Hermes (which you may have already found in advance and driven into the garage), all the other cars from the list spawn in clearly defined places, and we drive from there:

Voodoo


The Haitian drug dealer's open-top, retro-style Rydvan should already be familiar to you from the Cuban story mission "Trojan Voodoo". You can pick it up in the same place as for the mission - it’s parked near the house of Mother Pule, whom we managed to meet while working for the Haitians.

Cuban Hermes


These brightly painted, street-racing-themed Cuban Mafia vehicles are often seen driving around the Little Havana and Little Haiti areas. That's where we're looking.

Caddy




A car from a mission about a golf club. There is no need to go to the golf club to get it - from the car dealership we go across the south bridge, and then to the right - to the lighthouse. After the bridge there is a right path. Near the bushes on the right, press “triangle” (the car is very much camouflaged in the bushes) and get into the Caddy.

Baggage Handler


We pick up the baggage delivery car at the Airport.

Mr. Whoopee


A minibus selling ice cream stands at the entrance to... an ice cream factory. It is displayed on the map with a cherries icon. Geographically - on the second island, if you come from Starfish Island - immediately left after the bridge.

Pizza Boy


Pizza delivery moped. There is a pizzeria near the Kaufman Taxi office in the Haitian district, but there is no moped... So we go to Downtown. Pizzeria on the turn, near the Rock City store. We take a moped there. You can drive it from the pizzeria on the first island, but it takes too long to get from there to the car dealership.

Reward for completing list 4: the car dealership begins to bring in 9 thousand dollars daily (don’t forget to pick them up regularly) and Hotring Racer(Nascar supercar appears on the second floor of the car dealership office)

You also get the well-deserved Grand Theft Auto trophy in GTA Vice City.
