GTA Vice City is a visually beautiful game due to its Miami-style design, so ideally you want to be driving around in the nicest car. Indeed, Vice City is filled to the brim with exotic sportscars and American muscle cars, but even amongst the likes of the Banshee and the Phoenix, there are several cars that are the ultimate goal in exclusivity, being the only ones of their kind in the game.

Obtaining these may require that you need to head to a certain location or complete a series of missions, but either way, you won't want to pass up the opportunity to drive them.

10 Mr. Whoopee

A yellow and a blue Mr Whoopee from GTA VC

Location: Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory

This ice cream truck can only be found at the ice cream factory after you've first purchased the property. The truck itself is not terrifically fast or manoeuvrable, but it allows you to undertake the delivery side mission.

The goal is to deliver as much "ice cream" to customers as possible without being arrested, killed, or exiting the truck. If you manage to complete 50 deliveries within one run, the ice cream factory will then start to generate money, which you can collect whenever you want.

9 Sabre Turbo

GTA VC Sabre Turbo

Location: Sunshine Autos Import Garage

The regular Sabre is one of the rarer muscle cars in Vice City, but you can normally find it lurking around the northern end of Vice Point at the top of the map. The Sabre Turbo, however, is even rarer. This top of the line muscle car is unlocked once you've completed the second garage collection list at Sunshine Autos, and it's the only one in the game, too.

It can also be unlocked by cheats if you want an easier life, but if you want to play Vice City legit, then the garage is your only option.

8 Enforcer

VC Enforcer

Location: Vice Point VCPD station parking lot (PC version only).

This huge SWAT truck is very difficult to obtain because, for most versions of the game, it'll only appear during a four-star wanted level. However, if you somehow manage to successfully steal one, then you'll have access to one of the best vehicles to do vigilante missions with.

Not only is the truck itself very strong, but when you exit it, you'll be given full body armour. And if you reach level 12 of the vigilante missions, then your maximum armour increases to 150 instead of 100.

7 Sandking

GTA VC Sandking

Location: Sunshine Autos Import Garage

The Sandking is the ultimate SUV in Vice City. It handles just as well as most supercars and is very fast too, which is surprising given how tall it is. This makes it the perfect vehicle for driving around and looming over other cars.

It's unlocked once you've completed the third garage checklist of Sunshine Autos and will appear on the top floor of the showroom by the window — perfect for a dramatic exit each time you use it.

6 Love Fist

VC Love Fist (1)

Location: In front of the V-Rock Recording Studio (not in the original PS2 release).

The Love Fist is the private limousine belonging to the in-game band of the same name. You can drive it in the missions Psycho Killer and Publicity Tour, and it's free to use after they've been completed.

However, it's also possible to own it if you complete Psycho Killer and then drive it to one of your private garages, since another one will be spawned for Publicity Tour. (Note that this method is the only way to acquire the Love Fist in the PS2 version of the game.)

5 Voodoo

GTA VC Voodoo

Location: Little Haiti, outside Auntie Poulet's house.

The Voodoo is easily one of the coolest cars in the game, and perfect for cruising across the waterfronts of Vice City. The feature that makes it particularly desireable is its hydraulics system, which allows you to raise, lower, or shake the car about however you desire. However, Little Haiti is the only place where it spawns on the map.

If that's not quite exclusive enough, then there's a singular black Voodoo which only appears during the mission "Two Bit Hit," so make sure to keep your eyes peeled for it.

4 VCPD Cheetah

GTA VC VCPD Cheetah

Location: Little Havana Police Station (not in the original PS2 release).

The standard Cheetah tends to appear around Ocean Beach fairly frequently if you're lucky, but the VCPD version is a bit harder to find and a lot harder to steal. It only appears during a three-star wanted level, so the challenge resides in being able to survive for that long and hijack one whilst under fire from a lot of police officers.

Luckily, its speed makes escaping easier, so if you can pull it off, then the satisfaction of driving it around will be all the sweeter.

3 Deluxo

GTA VC Deluxo

Location: Sunshine Autos Import Garage.

The Deluxo is Vice City's version of the DMC DeLorean, long before the GTA Online version arrived in all its flying glory. This one-of-a-kind car only appears at Sunshine Autos if you've completed the first garage checklist, and whilst it may not be as advanced as the GTA Online version, the performance and handling are only matched by a few other cars in Vice City, and it doesn't cost anything to buy either.

However, be careful when driving because the Deluxo isn't that tough.

2 Rhino

gta vice city rhino

Location: Fort Baxter Air Base.

The Rhino is the strongest vehicle in Vice City, and by far the most destructive. There are two approaches to unlock it and both require a lot of work.

The first method is to earn a six-star wanted level and then try to steal one. If that's too difficult, then you can also try to collect 90 out of the 100 hidden packages scattered across the map. This causes the Rhino to spawn at the military base, but you'll still need an army uniform to get in safely.

1 Hotring Racer

GTA VC Romero's Hearse

Location: During the mission "Two Bit Hit."

The Romero's Hearse is easily the hardest car to come across in Vice City. It only appears in the mission "Two Bit Hit," and that's it. Even if you steal it during the mission and drive it around the map afterward, no other hearses will spawn nearby like other vehicles regularly do.

It can be spawned via cheats as well, but if you miss your chance during Two Bit Hit, then this will be the only way you can own it. Otherwise, you're out of luck.
