successor of the popular GTA IV driving mod
Fully supported GTA V versions: 1.36, 1.38, 1.39, 1.41, 1.43
Upwards compatible with: 1.44, 1.45, 1.46 ... 1.50 (mod does not affect latest DLC vehicles though)
This mod changes driving physics in GTA V to be as realistic as possible. Physics definitions for every single vehicle have been created from scratch utilizing every single available parameter. Development started on May 13 2015 and took 3 years, 1600+ hours. Driving physics were created for each of the 357 vehicles individually, spending an average of 3.5 hours on each vehicle. Every single change made by this mod has been MEASURED INGAME and CONFIRMED to be working as intended. Hence the long development phase. no assumptions. This mod is based on hard facts only.
Most striking features of this mod:
- Realistic driving physics (proper tire grip on different surfaces, traction curve, slip angle)
- All driveable surfaces have reworked properties
- Realistic offroad driving (giving the HUGE offroad areas in GTA V a purpose, hillclimb, dirt track)
- Performance of every single vehicle matches its real-life counterpart perfectly (acceleration curve, top speed, braking, grip, handling characteristics, wheelspin)
- Huge improvements to motorcycles
- Improvements to other physics (eg making it possible to ram police vehicles, slightly more realistic PIT maneuver)
- automated brakes have been disabled for every single vehicle
- Police cars dont drive like on rails anymore, more realistic physics are applied to their vehicles
- Alternative "Scaled Topspeed" version of this mod, offering speed governor and brake assist
- Option for increased vehicle deformation
supported DLCs:
- ill Gotten Gains 1
- ill Gotten Gains 2
- Lowrider
- Halloween
- Executives
- XMAS 3
- January2016
- Valentine
- Lowriders 2
- Further Adventures in Finances
- Cunning Stunts

Included vehicle categories:
Supercars, Sports Cars, Coupes, Sedans, Compacts, Classic Sportscars, Muscle Cars, Lowriders, SUVs, Offroad, Vans, Service, Emergency, Motorcycles.
Not included:
Heavy Trucks, Helicopters, Planes, Boats
Custom cars:
This mod was developed specifically for vanilla 3D-models. Custom car models have completely different center of mass and wheelbase. Making this mod work with all custom cars is impossible. Using custom cars will have a very noticeable negative impact on car handling. Dont complain about things that i cannot possibly fix. please.

ok, fantastic mod for me. i manually extracted the handling, materials and vehicleaihandlinginfo and paired it up with True Realistic Driving V for its inertia and powercutting mod.
feels like im playing forza lol. i hate it which means its working and is realistic...
for those complaining about low top speed. first of all, u dont even know how to drive, im convinced 99% of u manage to crash even a bicycle...why do u want to exactly go 300+ kmh? also there is an increased top speed version...
feels great. the other handling mod is not as great as this, somehow...despite being updated so often as its like driving on the moon, the car is flying, but this mod...its great. seems to be just about right. the car is not flying when driving over a speed bump but u can see there is some extra lift.
overall , i like the mod and im using it next to a million other mods and its fine for me.
it could be better but man, its an old mod and its still working...so thats why i give 5 stars.

Great mod but unfortunately outdated, which it doesn't affect latest DLC vehicles. If you want to find similar mod with latest DLC affected, you can try Drive V

Absolutely BEST realistic driving mod for GTA V in my opinion!
Fantastic job! I am so glad that I even donated the Author!
All cars are carefully adjusted to perfectly match real-life inspired counterparts. I can feel hundreds of hours you have put into this mod. Hands-down!
I recommend installing the increased deformation with realistic top speed version of this mod for absolute realism.
I've tried many other mods + I've been working on my own mod for some time but never managed to achieve satisfactory results. This mod is doing the job 100% perfect! Plus it even disables annoying vanilla auto-breaking which is huge! At last I can feel I'm driving a car pretty much like in real life.
Thank you!29. apr 2024 -

is there any way to make this mod not crash my game while using replaced vehicles? it was working fine for a bit but then it started crashing whenever i would use a replaced vehicle file, is there any way to make the replace files have the same center of gravity and what-not as the original but still keep the cosmetic of the replace file??

What actually happened to the creator of this mod?
Just thought I'd ask after reading what someone put about them going crazy.22. maj 2024 -

created an accouunt just to warn you guys.STAY CLEAR of this mod. it crashes your game within a few minutes of driving.
i dont have any vehicle mods or anything vehicle related. and it still crashed my game within a few minutes of driving my car.15. jun 2024 -
if your game is crashing you did something wrong ive had this for like 2 years now still works with every new update
21. jun 2024 -
doesn't work, at all. author stopped updating it, i don't think any game version supports this now.

@Gaelsan2008 impossible because the handling file is missing vehicles and their new mechanics added recently.

This mod was thoroughly tested with game version 1.50 (0.1868) and worked fine. no bugs, no crashes. all story missions completed without a hitch.
Here is footage of version 2.5 being used on Vans123's amazing Nordschleife track:
