The Vapid Motor Company or simply Vapid (BAWSAQ: VAP) is an American automotive company in the HD Universe. According to advertisements in GTA V, it was founded in 1942. The player can buy stocks from them on the Bawsaq.com website in GTA V.
Overview
Founded in 1942, it is primarily based on Ford Motor Company, though some of Vapid's models resemble those made by Chevrolet, Dodge, Land Rover, and even International Harvester/Navistar International. In parody of Ford's famous blue oval badge, Vapid's logo is a red oval badge. The word 'vapid' means 'dull' but also sounds similar to 'rapid,' a possible motivation for the use of the name. Vapid is one of the largest car manufacturers in the HD Universe. A Vapid dealership is located in Downtown Los Santos and is bought by Trevor Philips. Vapid operated an aircraft division, and formerly owned an aircraft hangar in Grapeseed before it was also bought by Trevor Philips.
Events of GTA V
During the mission The Bus Assassination, Franklin is hired by Lester Crest to kill Isaac Penny, an investor planning to buy a controlling interest in the company. His death will cause a major drop in Vapid stocks.
Stock Tip
Complete the mission The Bus Assassination, and then invest all of the protagonists' money in Vapid stocks. Wait 48 hours in-game, until the percentage of return reaches its maximum value (in this case 100%) and sell all the protagonists' stocks.

Trivia
- The Fugitive from GTA V, despite being manufactured by Cheval, has mistakenly been referred to as a "Vapid Fugitive" on the website since the 1.06 update. A Newswire article from 23 December 2013 also refers to it under this name. In a similar vein, The Liberator is mistakenly labelled as a "Vulcar Liberator" in pre-race setup menus.
- The Vapid dealership in Downtown Los Santos is the location in GTA Online where the player's insured vehicles will spawn once he/she claims and pays for it.
- The Huntley Sport, the Bobcat, Minivan and Speedo are vehicles that do not take up resemblance of any Ford vehicles. The Huntley Sport is a Land Rover Range Rover, the Bobcat and Speedo are Chevrolets and the Minivan is a Dodge.
- Forty-one Vapid vehicles appear in the HD Universe, the most of any vehicle manufacturer.
- Its logo is similar to Kia's current oval logo with a red background that was used in the mid-1990s to present (it is interesting to say that Ford (the real-life counterpart of Vapid) was a shareholder of Kia by that time to produce their cars based on Ford-sourced Mazda models for their home market and the design it's current oval logo (along with Hyundai Motor Company, the real-life counterpart of Bollokan), was taken from the idea of the Ford Motor Company, who also gave the idea of constructing their own car for their home and global markets.
