GTA 1 Era/GTA 2

GTA III Era
Car bombs are purchased through bomb shops.
Types
There are three types of car bombs.
- Engine Ignition Detonation
The player has to arm the bomb while in a car. When anyone enters the car, the bomb will immediately detonate.
- Eight-Second Time Delay Detonation
The player has to arm the bomb and wait eight seconds for the bomb to detonate.

In Grand Theft Auto Advance, it is used as a weapon and the player needs to place the car bomb in the car himself.

They will be delivered to the player's general location and the player can place the bombs beneath cars, buses and light vans only. The bombs are remote detonated through calling Packie on the cell phone and selecting Detonate.

Not to be confused with Proximity Mines, which also affect vehicles with explosions, car bombs, which are introduced in the mission Operation Northwood, can be fitted at a garage in North Holland. Upon entry, the touch screen will show a picture of the car's engine, which you then must place the bomb onto and wire it up. The bombs cost $500, as in previous iterations. Once placed in the car, the detonator symbol will appear in the PDA. This can be activated at any time, both in-vehicle and out, and will instantly destroy the car and any others or pedestrians surrounding it.
