Beloved GTA 3D Universe vehicles remade in GTA 5 by modders

The GTA series has introduced countless vehicles over the years, many of which have been consistently featured in games, particularly 3D Universe titles like Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, and San Andreas. Rockstar has remade several of these iconic vehicles and brought them over to the HD Universe games, especially in GTA 5 and GTA Online. However, due to there being such a large list of vehicles, many prominent ones have been left out.

Modders have naturally stepped in where the developers left and have remastered many classic GTA Trilogy vehicles in HD. Here's a list of numerous 3D Universe vehicles that have been completely revamped in a lore-friendly way for GTA 5. Players should note that this list only includes land vehicles.

Many of these cars are from GTA San Andreas since this game had the largest roster of vehicles before Grand Theft Auto 5 came out. Its multiplayer counterpart, Grand Theft Auto Online, increased the HD Universe roster.

There are also many retro vehicles from the Vice City games (GTA Vice City and Vice City Stories). Some of these have also been remastered by Rockstar themselves, such as the Pfister Comet Retro Custom, the "Classic" versions of the Grotti Cheetah, and the Pegassi Infernus in Grand Theft Auto Online.
