The Caracara (Armored) is a reinforced version of Vapid's Caracara, given out free as a Career Progress reward rather than sold for cash. It seats 5 and suits players who want the Caracara's crew capacity with extra protection built in. Its added armor brings the mass up to 4500, heavier than the standard Caracara's 3500, which should make it tougher against gunfire and impacts at some cost to agility. Community testing has not yet published a top speed or lap time for this version, so its pace against the rest of the Off-Road class is not confirmed here. It keeps the standard car's all wheel drive. Rockstar added the Caracara (Armored) in the Kortz Center Heist update on July 14, 2026. It is separate from both the standard Caracara and the lighter Caracara 4x4, which remain paid vehicles with their own dealers.
