GTA V's Hidden Cars and Rare Spawns
Some of GTA V's best vehicles spawn rarely, in specific locations, at specific times. Here's the canonical hidden-car list — Z-Type, Adder, Truffade Adder.
GTA V's most iconic vehicles aren't always the ones that spawn most frequently. The game has approximately 20 "rare spawn" vehicles that appear only at specific locations, at specific times, or under specific conditions. Below: the canonical list, with how to find each one.
Truffade Adder (super)
The Bugatti Veyron analog. Spawns rarely on Vinewood Hills (specifically the streets between Beverly Drive and the Vinewood sign overlook). Random encounter; sometimes 30 minutes of driving is required to spot one.
Trick: drive a low-end car in Vinewood Hills. The game's spawn algorithm is more likely to spawn high-end cars when the player is driving low-end cars (and vice versa). Park a Buffalo and walk; an Adder will eventually appear.
Z-Type (classic)
The 1930s vintage roadster. Spawns rarely at the Beverly Drive luxury auto shop (the dealership Tracey De Santa visits in the Strangers and Freaks line). The Z-Type is a one-of-a-kind classic with no in-game purchasable variant.
Trick: complete the Tracey paparazzi mission and the Z-Type's spawn rate at the Beverly Drive shop increases substantially.
Pegassi Tempesta (super)
Rare spawn at the Vinewood Hills mansion district. Lamborghini Huracan-influenced. Mid-game accessible.
Cheetah Classic (classic super)
The vintage Lamborghini Countach that's a callback to Vice City's Cheetah. Rare spawn at the Vinewood Hills specifically near the mansion district. The Cheetah Classic returns in GTA 6 marketing as a confirmed nostalgic reference.
Stinger GT / Stinger (classic sports)
The Ferrari 250 GTO analog. Rare spawn at Vinewood Hills. Returns from Vice City and SA with classic styling.
Banshee 900R (sports)
The enhanced Banshee variant. Spawns at the Hyman Memorial Stadium parking and at high-end LS dealerships. More frequent than the Adder but specific to luxury locations.
Coquette / Coquette Classic / Coquette D10 (classic and modern)
The Corvette analog, multiple variants. The Coquette Classic spawns at Sandy Shores; the modern Coquette spawns at Vinewood Hills; the Coquette D10 (introduced in late-game / GTA Online updates) is a rare-spawn LS variant.
Sabre / Sabre Turbo / Sabre Turbo Custom (muscle)
The Mustang analog, multiple variants. Returns from earlier GTAs. The Turbo Custom is a Strangers-and-Freaks reward.
