The top 10 vehicles we want to see in GTA 6 that we didn't see in GTA 5




There's nothing better to do while playing Grand Theft Auto V as you cruise the mean dangerous streets of Los Santos than look out for any interesting or unique vehicles, and then trying to steal or destroy them. But despite Rockstar's superb efforts to fill GTA V's land, sea and sky with an amazing amount of top transport, I feel there are still a few vehicles that if added, would make a great game even greater.

Join me now as I present my top ten of vehicles that I feel should have been in GTA V and GTA Online, but will probably never appear. Vehicles I dare to dream of one day being made available to players as DLC, all the while knowing I am dreaming an impossible dream.

Let's begin with the fact that while GTA V has some great aircraft, bombers are conspicuous by their absence, more so stealth bombers. Imagine finding one of these beasts on a military base and taking to the air to unleash silent death on your enemies, or anyone who gets on your wrong side. Actually who's to say Stealth Bombers aren't already in the game, they could be around and just be living up to their name ?

Taxis are a great way for the lazy to get around in Los Santos, but why are all of them cars, why aren't there any tuk-tuks? A bizarre hybrid of a rickshaw and a motorcycle, tuk-tuks promise a cheap yet drafty way to your destination; while also being able to cope with congested roads by perilously weaving through any traffic. Why should catching a taxi be the only safe way to travel in GTA V ? Let's bring the danger to cab journeys, with the simple introduction to the game of the tuk-tuk.


So in GTA Online you're hosting a house party, and after all the drugs and beer have been consumed, your guests minds turn to the idea of having a race. Sure you want to challenge your mates, but you don't want to wrap yourself round an oncoming car. Well there is a simple, safe and elegant vehicular solution: the space hopper. A giant bouncy space hopper race is safer for your inebriated friends, and losers can beat up the winners by using the hopper as an improvised weapon. Perfect fun all round.


Why should your exploration of Los Santos be limited to the sky? Why shouldn't the brave and super rich be able to go higher? To allow players to boldly go even further, GTA V needs space shuttles. This way, players can go to the outer limits of Los Santos, before parachuting out or writing rude messages using smoke trails in the stratosphere. Why should NASA have all the fun? GTA V players should be able to explore outer space, perhaps even find alien life, and then gun them down.
If 

GTA V's street races are too tame for players, the game could introduce dragsters and drag racing events to compete in. Dragsters are the fastest-accelerating machines in the world, and can reach speeds of 325 mph. Racing in them would be a great addition to the side quests in GTA V, while even better would be trying to escape from the police in one, and trying not to end up as a blazing fireball.
In GTA V you can get around under your own power by cycling or walking, but there needs to be a more fun method of self-propelled travel, and that can only be the skateboard. Once players have a board then stunts galore could then be attempted, followed quickly in my case by paying medical bills to reset broken limbs, before the inevitable consigning of the board to the nearest bin, and a more dignified vehicle used instead.

Crime is rife in Los Santos so why not fight it in style, in a Batmobile. Licensing problems aside, law breakers will quake in fear as you tear through the streets in one of Batman's automotive cast offs. The best thing about the Batmobile is that there are so many styles to choose from, should you drive the Sixties classic cruiser or the more modern Battank? But why stop with the Batmobile? What about the Batcopter, Batboat or even the Batsub ? OK, I'm shutting up and moving on now.



A lot of the cars in GTA V look slick and modern, whereas if you stand on any main road in my home town you're more likely to see a collection of vehicles that belong in a museum, than a showroom. So why doesn't GTA V have a motor museum ? Somewhere players can test drive, or even steal the cars of yesteryear. Imagine the reaction from your crew as you turn up to a mission in an original Model T Ford. Warning, you might not get the great reaction you were expecting.

While there are some fast-food vehicles in Los Santos, there is one glaring omission from their rosta, and that is the ice cream van. Broadcasting its presence with a tinny massacre of a children's tune; the ice cream van would be the ideal assassin's chariot. Imagine pulling up to an unsuspecting victim, and handing him a grenade instead of a cornet. When not engaged in dairy-related ninja-like strikes, players could also sell ice creams to boost their income - perfect.


Last but by no means least, the Pope has a car that is more suited to GTA V than you would imagine. The Popemobile as it's known is bullet proof, has its own oxygen supply and can reach speeds of up to one hundred and sixty miles an hour. Who would have thought the Pope has a vehicle better equipped to travel the streets of Los Santos than the Vatican City ? Please note PSU is not inferring the Pope would approve of, or be a suitable candidate to appear in GTA V -- just his car.


So there you go, ten vehicles that would make the streets of Los Santos even more crazier and dangerous than they are now, and having tried to survive on those treacherous roads believe me that would take some doing. Are there any other vehicles you feel wouldn't look out-of-place in GTA V ? Why not leave a comment and let us know.
