GTA Online: 7 Best Cars From Movies & TV Shows (2024)

Fans have always loved vehicles in the Grand Theft Auto franchise. Driving and flying in an open-world sandbox is always fun. To take things up a notch, driving a vehicle from a popular movie or TV show in GTA Online just feels different.

To be honest, these are simple cars, most of the time. For instance, cars in Fast And Furious are just generic vehicles players can find on the streets. However, the option to customize these cars to look exactly or similar as seen in the movies or TV shows is what makes these vehicles in GTA Online special.

7 Bravado Youga Classic

Mystery Machine (Scooby-Doo Movie and TV Show)

The Bravado Youga Classic is a simple van based on the Ford Ecoline. However, thanks to all the customization options, players can make this van look exactly like the one they saw Scooby-Doo and friends driving around to solve mysteries. The Mystery Machine was one of the most iconic vans of pop culture, and it is great that fans can create this one in GTA Online.

Since it is just a van, there's nothing special about it. Still, it drives decently, and players can roam around Los Santos in a Mystery Machine-themed Bravado Youga Classic with their friends.

6 Ruiner 2000

K.I.T.T. (Knight Rider)

Knight Rider is one of the most popular crime drama TV shows from the 80s. The show featured David Hasselhoff playing the character of Michael Knight, an undercover detective. Knight has one of the coolest rides in the 80s: Knight Industries 2000, or KITT. It is a 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with a supercomputer and high-tech features in it.

Thus, it checks all the markers to deserve its own version in GTA Online. The car was previously one of the most expensive cars in GTA Online, but its cost was decreased after balancing. It has all the features that all things that an offensive vehicle has; i.e., lock-on missiles and machine guns. This vehicle has a jump boost, and players can also deploy a parachute to glide this vehicle.

5 Dewbauchee JB 700W

James Bond's Car (Goldfinger)

The Dewbauchee JB 700W is based on the iconic Aston Martin DB5, which debuted on the market way back in 1963. It is one of the adored vehicles by vintage car lovers. However, it has more significance than that. Sean Connery's James Bond also drove the DB5 in 1964's classic Goldfinger.

In the movie, the vehicle had all the gadgets that the beloved British secret agent needed, such as seat ejectors, bulletproof windows, smoke screens etc. In the game, the JB 700W doesn't have all of these features, but it does have a few. First, JB 700W has front-mounted machine guns that deal decent damage. Furthermore, players can either add spikes or slick proximity mine to it. The name JB 700W itself gives s nod to James Bond. JB obviously stands for James Bond, and 700 is the inverse of 007.

4 Annis Elegy Retro Custom

Paul Walker's Nissan GT-R R34 (2 Fast 2 Furious)

It is impossible to craft a list of movie vehicles in a game without mentioning the Fast And Furious franchise. Vehicles are this franchise's bread and butter. One of these vehicles is the iconic silver Nissan GT-R R34 with blue livery, driven by none other than the poster boy of the franchise: Paul Walker's Brian O'Connor.

Rockstar paid homage to Walker when they added the Elegy Retro Custom with all the same customization options. Players can get the Annis Elegy RH8 for free from Legendary Motorsports and upgrade it from Benny's Original Motor Works to Elegy Retro Custom. This changes the vehicle from the Nissan GTR R35 to the R34 with all the customization options available. Paul Walker's GTR is the most common customization for Elegy Retro Custom in GTA Online given its popularity.

3 Declasse Scramjet

Mach Five (Speed Racer)

The Scramjet is another visibly familiar vehicle in GTA Online. Based on the widely popular Mach Five from the Speed Racer franchise, the Scramjet is yet another fan-favorite vehicle in the game. From front to end, the vehicle is exactly the same as what fans saw in Speed Racer media. Unfortunately, the game doesn't have the livery option to put the classic logo on. However, the racing stripes livery also looks good on this.

In terms of performance, the Scramjet has the longest boost for a vehicle in GTA Online. It has lock-on missiles and a front-mounted machine gun, and it also lets players use their weapons and throwables. Like the Ruiner 2000, Scramjet has a jump boost and players can do some incredible stunts with it.

2 Grotti Vigilante

Batmobile (Batman 1989)

The Vigilante is a fan-favorite vehicle, and is easy to relate to. It looks very similar to the Batmobile that Michael Keaton drove in 1989's Batman. The vehicle's front part is just missing the middle part of the Batmobile's turbine. The back of the vehicle is similar to 2005's Christian Bale Batman trilogy's Tumbler.

The Vigilante in GTA Online is the fastest land-based vehicle on the PC and last gen consoles. It also has rocket boost, front-mounted machine guns, and lock-on missiles. Almost every player nowadays has this vehicle in their garage.

1 Imponte Deluxo

Time Machine (Back To The Future 2)

The Back To The Future franchise was pivotal for the time-traveling genre, and paved the way for multiple classic movies. Throughout the trilogy, Doc Brown's Delorean Time Machine played a significant role. The first movie featured just a simple modified Delorean for time travel. However, at the end of the movie, Dr. Brown brings back an upgraded version of the Delorean from the future that can also fly.

The Deluxo is inspired by that futuristic Delorean. The Deluxo has both hover mode and flight mode, which makes it the unique car in GTA Online. On top of that, the vehicle is also equipped with much more offensive prowess with machine guns and lock-on missiles. It's one of the game's griefers' best friends and toughest foes.
