About
Provides detailed datapoints on vehicles currently available within the Grand Theft Auto V video game environment. This data resource is essential for analysts interested in vehicle statistics, including performance metrics, acquisition methods, pricing structures, and weapon resistance levels. It enables sophisticated exploratory data analysis, such as tracking virtual asset price changes across different DLC releases or identifying vehicles with optimal resale value after considering upgrade costs. The data was collected via web scraping.

Distribution
The data is usually provided in CSV format, consisting of six separate files that require merging. Analysts must use the
vehicle_url or vehicle_link as the common key to join these files. When successfully merged, the dataset is expected to contain 36 columns and approximately 567 rows (records). The initial data is provided uncleaned and requires processing, including the removal of duplicates and the separation of combined data fields.Usage
- Exploratory data analysis focused on vehicle characteristics and performance within the game.
- Calculating the optimal resale value of vehicles by factoring in initial price and full upgrade costs.
- Determining the fastest and most effective vehicles for racing or hostile encounters, based on speed, handling, and resistance attributes.
- Analysing virtual economic trends by observing price distribution and inflation correlation with DLC release dates.
- Predicting future vehicle pricing based on historical patterns of cost increase across new releases.
Coverage
This resource focuses exclusively on virtual vehicle assets and their specifications within the Grand Theft Auto V environment. The time coverage for vehicle release dates spans from the game's initial launch in September 2013 up to December 2022. The scope does not include any real-world geographic or demographic data. While the game features over 800 vehicles, data was successfully retrieved and included for only 567 rows.
