Overview

The Mammoth Hydra is a aircraft-class aircraft from Mammoth, dominates the skies above Vice City with speed and altitude advantage. Drawing clear inspiration from the AV-8B Harrier II (VTOL), it brings bold American automotive muscle to the streets of Vice City.

In Grand Theft Auto VI, vehicle handling and weight have been dramatically overhauled compared to GTA V. The Mammoth Hydra benefits from heavier physics simulation, realistic roll dynamics, and authentic torque curves designed to reward skilled drivers on both Leonida's open freeways and narrow downtown alleys.

Real-Life Inspiration

In-Game Model

Mammoth Hydra

Manufactured by Mammoth in the GTA universe.

Real-World Counterpart

AV-8B Harrier II (VTOL)

Produced by BAE Systems.

The real-world AV-8B Harrier II (VTOL) by BAE Systems serves as the primary design inspiration. GTA 6's interpretation preserves the signature proportions and key design language while applying Rockstar's characteristic satirical modifications to badges, grille patterns, and taillight clusters.

Performance Stats

Powered by a jet-a1 (turbofan) powertrain delivering competitive performance within the Aircraft class. The Single-Jet (VTOL) configuration provides responsive propulsion. Estimated top speed of 662 mph (est.) places it in the S-Tier (Air) bracket.

Rapid vertical climb rate outpaces ground pursuit. High altitude enables radar evasion across Leonida airspace.

⚠️
LEONIDA SURVIVAL / EXFIL ADVISORY

Tail rotor damage instantly initiates uncontrolled autorotation flat-spin.

Customization Options

Rideout Customs support includes custom livery paints, upgraded avionics displays, and interior cabin appointments.

Drivers can take the Mammoth Hydra to Rideout Customs in Vice City for extensive tuning packages, or utilize Pay & Spray locations for fast repaints, chase-breaking resprays, and legitimate vehicle re-registration to prevent police despawns.

How to Get It

Purchasable from in-game Elitas Travel or military airfields in Vice City.

Theft & Security Advisory: In GTA 6, car theft utilizes security tiers. High-end modern vehicles require key-cloning tools or the WAINK scanner to disable vehicle immobilizers and police GPS tracking before storage.
