Modified May 12, 2024 18:24 GMT

The most customizable cars in GTA 5 story mode are not the same as those of Grand Theft Auto Online. Although customization has been greatly enhanced in online mode, there are still quite a few great cars in singleplayer that are fun to modify at LS Customs.

Car customization wasn't that great in the Grand Theft Auto games until the introduction of GTA San Andreas. However, the next game, GTA 4, didn't follow up with this feature. So, fans were ecstatic when Rockstar brought this back in Grand Theft Auto 5.

In light of that, if you're looking for the most customizable cars in GTA 5 story mode, we've prepared a short list for you.

The Dewbauchee Massacro is primarily based on the iconic sports car, the second-gen Aston Martin Vanquish. There are countless customization options for this car at Los Santos Customs which can make this truly exquisite, with some of the options resembling that of other popular sports cars.

There's another variant of the Massacro meant for racing, and it comes with unique racing liveries. This variant allows for a similar level of customization, but you can't remove the liveries.

One of the most customizable cars in GTA 5 story mode is the Buffalo S. It's the car Franklin owns, and it makes sense for a car enthusiast to have such a customizable ride. The Buffalo S is heavily inspired by the 2012-14 Dodge Charger SRT8, and it's an improved variant of the regular Buffalo with some minor design changes.

3) Sultan

The Sultan was a highly-coveted car in Grand Theft Auto 4, and its performance is equally good in Grand Theft Auto 5. It lives up to the standards of the real-life cars that it's based on — the Subaru Impreza WRX and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo I. Much like its Grand Theft Auto San Andreas counterpart, the Sultan manages to retain the crown as one of the most customizable vehicles in GTA 5 story mode as well.

The Elegy RH8 in Grand Theft Auto V looks similar to the Nissan GT-R (R35) and as a tuner, it handles quite well. What makes it rank on the list of the most customizable cars in GTA 5 story mode is that it can be converted into a completely different car.

When converted, it turns into the Elegy Retro Custom, which is basically the Grand Theft Auto version of the Nissan Skyline GT-R (R33). You even get access to Paul Walker's Skyline livery from the Fast and Furious movies.

5) Coquette

The Coquette is clearly inspired by the Chevrolette Corvette, specifically the C5 variant. The name itself is a clear reference to its real-life inspiration, albeit with a hilarious twist that's so common in the GTA franchise. It's a fine specimen of a classic American sports car, and the countless modification options make it one of the most customizable cars in GTA 5 story mode.
