Grand Theft Auto 5 and its multiplayer mode, GTA Online, is a humour-filled, dynamic, and at times, crazy action game.
But what would a game with the word “Auto” in its title be without cars? Vehicles play a significant role in this production — they are the primary means of transportation, the target of many missions, and a substantial investment (unlike GTA 5’s story mode, in GTA Online, you can sell them).
There are countless cars in GTA, ranging from classics from the past to sporty supercars, and even armoured and armed vehicles designed for combat. Interestingly, cars can also be customized — much like in many multiplayer games, where you can decorate your weapons or gear according to your own taste.
For fans of this type of gameplay, a vast array of customization options and a rich pool of cars are available, which can be modified in various ways, making them truly unique. Curious about the most modifiable cars in GTA 5 Online? Welcome to our guide!
