Special Vehicles/Header

This is a list of special vehicles throughout the Grand Theft Auto series. Special Vehicles are a type of vehicle that has unique qualities in contrast to standard ones. Such of these are unique/permanent colors, bulletproof (BP), explosionproof (EP), fireproof (FP), and damageproof (DP). Also take note that the accuracy of the page history may not be correct. To see the right history refer to the Special Vehicles page.

Ability	Code	Description
Bullet-proof	BP	Cars being bulletproof typically means the car is immune to gunshots. To test if a car is bulletproof, the player can shoot it with a firearm many times and if there is no smoke coming from the car, then the car is bulletproof.
Fire-proof	FP	This is the least valuable of all special properties available. A car that is bestowed with a fire proofing won't catch on fire from any flames surrounding the car (for example, from a Flame Thrower or Molotovs). However plain fire proofing cars are extremely rare, and isn't very helpful otherwise since it is rare for a vehicle to catch on fire.
Explosion-proof	EP	An explosion-proof car is immune to rockets, satchel charges, bombs, etc. However, just because a car is explosion-proof, does not mean the car cannot be destroyed via cheats, or by entering the car whilst on fire.
Damage-proof	DP	Damage-proofing is one of the best abilities that a car can have, but is extremely rare. The car can't recieve any exterior damage, which means the player can crash the car many times without being destroyed. This also applies to melee weapons which won't destroy the car either.
Pop-proof	PP	This means that the car's tires cannot be popped by spike strips or gunfire. However, none of the pop-proof vehicles can be saved.
Permanent Color	PC	This means that the car has a permanent color, if you go to the Pay N' Spray, the car will be fixed, but cannot be resprayed and not change into another color. However, none of the vehicles with permanent color can be saved.
Heavy	H	Means that the car can push and ram other vehicles out of the way very easily, without the car losing speed or turning in different directions. However, the Heavy property will not shield against damage, and the car will receive double damage when hitting cars and other objects.
Unique Paintjob	Color With Bold Print	These are simply cars with a unique paintjob to it, that can't be obtained via Pay N' Spray or mod shop, and can only be found in the specific missions they are created for. Using a Pay N' Spray on any of these vehicles will remove the colour and it won't be obtainable again.
Unique Handling	UH	This means that the handling of the car can cut most corners and turns quickly than any other vehicles. However, none of the vehicles with unique handling can be saved.
Unobtainable	Vehicles with bold print	Means the car for whatever reason (exclusive for cutscenes, immovable, limited, etc...) cannot be saved, without losing the special property that it has acquired.

Destroying a special vehicle

Not all special vehicles are indestructible. There are many of ways to destroy a BP/FP/EP/DP car, this includes:

• Flipping the car up-side down.
• Getting hit by a tank (Rhino/Other Tanks Not APC)
• Sinking the car in the water.
• Using the Blow-up all cars cheat.
• Getting in the car while on fire.
• Using the car bomb to detonate the vehicle (Engine Ignition/Time Delay/Remote Detonations).
• Taking the car to the crusher and crush the vehicle.
• Taking it to a girlfriends' house and have coffee with her/them then the car will lose its special property and simply become normal again.
