	In GTA III, ~~all~~ vehicles ~~used the same~~ engine ~~block~~: a V12 ~~engine block~~ with the [[Rockstar Games]] logo ~~embedded~~ on the block.		In GTA III, vehicles had different generic engine blocks: for instance, sports/supercars had V12 engines with the [[Rockstar Games]] logo emblazoned on the engine block.

	Vehicles are typically available in a variety of body colors, unless they are hard-coded with a actual texture, as is the case with the [[Sabre Turbo]] and [[Patriot]] in GTA Vice City. For GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, differing colors may be applied on both the body panels and trims (including the bumpers). After GTA III, vehicles may also appear with two tone-body colors, or even three (the [[Camper]] in GTA San Andreas).

After GTA III, vehicles may also appear with two tone-body colors, or even three or four (the [[Camper]] in GTA San Andreas).

	While the range of colors on most vehicles are limited, third party garage editors can modify the colors of stored vehicles to the player's choosing for games; this may also be applied to gang cars. [[Transfender]], [[Wheel Arch Angels]] and [[Loco Low Co.]] workshops in GTA San Andreas also allow the player to choose a range of custom colors for their vehicle, as well as fully custom paintjobs.

	"Accessories" do not simply refer to vehicle accessories per se, but include different models and livery that illustrate variety between the same model of vehicles that appear on the road.

	GTA 2 first explored such variety by way of its gang cars and different vehicles: Gang cars could be converted into normal variants by utilizing a crane to load a gang car onto a [[Towing\|Transporter trailer]]. In addition, certain vehicles are essentially modified versions of another, including the [[Taxi Xpress]] (based on the [[B-Type]]), the [[Special Agent Car]] (based on the [[Eddy]]) and the [[TV Van]] (based on the [[Van]]).

Since then, more vehicles provide such variety, expanding to include truck loads, car spoilers, paneling, extended roofs, continental kits, side bags and customized interiors, among others.

	Vehicle registration plates were first introduced in GTA III with improved detailing. Usually seen on road vehicles, license plates were originally represented by only one or two license plate textures. By GTA San Andreas, license plates were far more flexible in displaying a far larger range of different license plates, with each of San Andreas three areas featuring their own type of license plate.
