Speedo

The Speedo is listed as due to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI. No trailer timestamp, screenshot, promotional image, location, regional appearance, variant, or GTA VI-specific mechanical detail is identified for it. Its manufacturer is Vapid, and its body type is Light Truck.

The van first appeared in Grand Theft Auto IV, then returned in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. The GTA IV version used a blunt black front bumper, a centrally plated grille, square lamps, dark door handles, small arch extensions and vertical rear lights. Its cargo doors carried a Vapid ST marking on the left, while the right-hand door incorporated the handle and plate area.

GTA V and Online kept the same basic vehicle but removed the business liveries seen in IV. The grille became a simpler all-black design, rear-door identification changed to Vapid and Speedo badging, and the enhanced edition placed the front badge on the hood rather than the grille. Its cabin was also visibly untidy, including rubbish around the wheel housings.

Beyond its Chevrolet Express-based overall form, the Speedo borrows its front treatment and rear bumper from the 2003–2007 Ford E-Series. Its rear lamps may draw from GM GMT400 trucks. Both the IV and V-era versions used angled five-spoke wheels with medium-sidewall tires and appeared in plain single-colour finishes.

In GTA V and GTA Online, it belongs to the Vans class. The regular vehicle initially lacked Los Santos Customs modifications beyond repairs. Online later allowed standard upgrades, including performance parts, suspension work and paint changes, at an Avenger, Mobile Operations Center or Facility Vehicle Workshop after The Criminal Enterprises update. Whether that access was intended or a bug was not established.

The Speedo uses an apparent high-torque diesel V8, a five-speed transmission and rear-wheel drive. Its engine audio is shared or closely related to that used by the Burrito and Pony. In GTA IV, it was described as the second-quickest van after the Burrito and as the most maneuverable vehicle in that class.

Its light rear made slides easy in IV, while weak brakes made fast cornering difficult and uneven Liberty City roads could unsettle it. GTA V revised the suspension for steadier cornering and a tighter turning circle, though wheelspin on launch became more likely. It resisted collision damage well but had weaker off-road ability than other vans because of its lower-powered engine; it also appeared capable of reaching 100 mph, filling its 100-mph analogue speedometer.

In GTA IV, Speedos carried televisions in Crime and Punishment, delivered Darko Brevic in That Special Someone, and served as an escape vehicle in To Live and Die in Alderney. Phil Bell owned the latter van. IV examples could carry names including Deliver Me Timbers, The Easy Lay Carpet Store, Hello Tailor and Nonna Pina's, and Stevie paid $2,000 for one after his thirty-car collection was complete.

Lamar Davis's white GTA V Speedo used the plate “LAMAR G” and appeared in Chop and Hood Safari; it could be retained after Chop, despite being destroyed during Hood Safari. Other special examples include Tyler's brown mission van, Trevor's black bulletproof-tire Speedo near Del Perro Pier, and a green KnoWay Mercenaries trap van bearing “404ANF”. GTA Online sold the standard Speedo for $1,500 at Los Santos Customs.
