You're driving through Los Santos, minding your own business, when that familiar, high-pitched "beep-beep-beep" starts screaming in your ear. We've all been there. Some kid on an Oppressor Mk II has decided your existence is a personal insult. Usually, this ends in a fireball.
But then there's Imani Tech.

Honestly, it changed everything. If you aren't using the imani tech vehicles list to its full potential, you're basically playing GTA Online on "please blow me up" mode. It isn't just about armor; it's about making those homing missiles completely useless.
Why the Imani Tech Vehicles List Actually Matters
Most players think "armored car" and immediately buy a Nightshark. Don't get me wrong, the Nightshark is a tank. But it can be locked onto. It’s a giant magnet for every griefer with a wing and a prayer.
Imani Tech is different. It’s a specific set of upgrades—exclusive to the Agency Vehicle Workshop—that you can only slap onto certain cars. The star of the show is the Missile Lock-On Jammer. It prevents anyone from getting a red square on you. If they want to hit you, they have to actually aim. In a game where most people rely on "press button to win" mechanics, that makes you virtually invincible.
The Heavy Hitters: Top Vehicles You Need
Not every car on the list is equal. Some are fast, some are tanks, and some are... well, they're the Enus Deity. Here is the breakdown of the most essential vehicles currently compatible with these upgrades.
Bravado Buffalo STX
This is the gold standard. It’s a four-door muscle car that handles like a dream and can take a beating. With full armor plating, it survives about 12 homing missiles. Combine that with the lock-on jammer and you have the ultimate daily driver. It's fast enough to keep up with supercars but tough enough to laugh at a jet.
Ocelot Virtue
Kinda the community favorite right now because it’s free. If you finish all the "Last Dose" missions, Dax just hands you the keys. It’s electric, so the acceleration is violent. It gets from 0 to 60 before you can even finish saying "Wait, is that an RPG?" Plus, it takes more than 10 missiles to kill.
Grotti Itali GTO Stinger TT
If you want pure speed, this is it. It’s one of the fastest cars in the game, especially if you’re on PS5 or Xbox Series X/S and can add HSW (Hao's Special Works) upgrades on top of the Imani Tech. It’s a bit twitchy to drive—it loves to slide—but once you master the handling, nothing can catch you.
Obey Omnis e-GT
This thing is a literal brick. It's an electric sports car based on the Audi e-tron GT. While it’s not the fastest in a straight line, its explosive resistance is legendary. It can soak up 12 RPGs or nearly 20 homing missiles. You can basically sit in the middle of a warzone, check your phone, and be totally fine.
Mammoth Patriot Mil-Spec
Basically a Humvee. It has a specific option for "slat armor" on the back windows that makes it nearly impossible to get shot out of from behind. It’s slow. It’s heavy. But it feels powerful.
The Full 2026 Imani Tech Vehicles List
Since Rockstar loves to "drip-feed" content, the list has grown significantly since The Contract DLC first dropped. You can't just take any car to Imani; she’s picky. You need the Agency and the specific Vehicle Workshop add-on (which costs about $800k) to even see these options.
- Bravado Buffalo STX (Muscle)
- Dewbauchee Champion (Super)
- Enus Deity (Sedan)
- Enus Jubilee (SUV)
- Mammoth Patriot Mil-Spec (Off-Road)
- Declasse Granger 3600LX (SUV)
- Bravado Greenwood (Muscle)
- Obey Omnis e-GT (Sports)
- Annis 300R (Sports)
- Ocelot Virtue (Super)
- Bravado Buffalo EVX (Muscle)
- Grotti Itali GTO Stinger TT (Sports)
- Maibatsu MonstroCiti (Off-Road)
- Vapid Aleutian (SUV)
- Gallivanter Baller ST-D (SUV)
- Declasse Impaler SZ (Sedan)
- Bollokan Envisage (Sports)
- Överflöd Pipistrello (Super)
Some of the newer additions like the Pipistrello or the Envisage show that Rockstar is leaning into electric power for these defensive builds. The instant torque helps you escape the blast radius of a manual RPG much faster than a traditional combustion engine.
Jammer vs. Remote Control: The Big Debate
When you pull into your Agency workshop, you're faced with a choice. You can only pick one special tech. You either take the Missile Lock-On Jammer or the Remote Control Unit.

You can't have both.
Most people go for the Jammer. It's the "anti-griefer" button. However, the Remote Control Unit is surprisingly fun if you're into stealth. It lets you drive the car from your phone while your character is hidden. The car doesn't show a player blip on the map. You can roll up on people, and they’ll think it’s just a random NPC car until you start blasting with the mounted machine guns.
If you're serious about survival, get the Jammer. If you want to troll, get the RC.
Hidden Features You Might Have Missed
There is more to these cars than just the tech.
Armor Plating is a separate category from the "Standard Armor" you find at Los Santos Customs. In the Agency, you can add "Slick Proximity Mines." These drop a puddle of oil that makes anyone chasing you lose total control of their steering. It’s hilarious to watch a police cruiser or a pursuing player fly off a bridge because they hit a slick.
Also, many of these vehicles have Bullet-Resistant Glass.
Note the wording: resistant, not proof.
It will take about 15 hits from a standard rifle before the window shatters. In a drive-by, those few seconds are the difference between life and the "Wasted" screen.
Hard Truths About Imani Tech
It isn't a "God Mode" glitch.
If a skilled pilot in a P-996 LAZER uses the explosive cannons, you are still toast. The cannons don't need a lock-on. They just spray explosive death. Same goes for the Railgun.
And let’s talk about the price. Between buying the Agency, the workshop, the car, and the upgrades, you’re looking at a $4 million to $6 million investment per vehicle. It’s expensive. You’ve got to grind those Security Contracts or Cayo Perico runs to afford a full garage of these.
Actionable Insights for Your Next Session
If you're looking to build your first "anti-griefer" car, follow this path:
- Get the Ocelot Virtue for free. Don't buy a car if you don't have to. Complete the "First Dose" and "Last Dose" missions.
- Buy the Agency with the Vehicle Workshop. Look for the Little Seoul location; it's central and relatively cheap.
- Prioritize the Missile Lock-On Jammer. Don't worry about the machine guns yet; they aren't that powerful anyway. The Jammer is your priority.
- Add Armor Plating. This is what allows you to survive multiple explosions.
- Use it for "Out of Sight." Remember, you can call Imani on your phone to activate a 500m "Out of Sight" zone. If you're in an Imani vehicle inside that zone, you are practically a ghost.
Go to your Agency laptop and check the compatible list regularly. Rockstar occasionally adds older cars to the compatibility list during "Quality of Life" updates, though it's rare. Right now, focusing on the Buffalo STX or the Virtue will give you the best bang for your buck in any public lobby.
