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.
Overview
It is primarily based on Ford Motor Company (although Ford was founded in 1903, 39 years before) 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. Just like Ford, Vapid operated an aircraft division, and formerly owned an aircraft hangar in Grapeseed before it was bought by Trevor Philips.

Trivia
- The Fugitive from GTA V, despite being manufactured by Cheval is mistakenly referred to as the Vapid Fugitive on the website since the 1.06 update. A Newswire article from 23rd December 2013 also refers to it under this name [1]
- A Vapid Dealer is located in Downtown Los Santos, which also happens to be the location in GTA Online where the player's insured vehicles will spawn once he/she claims and pays for it.
- Not only does Trevor buy the old Vapid hangar in Grapeseed but he also buys the empty garage in an old Vapid dealership in Pillbox Hill.
- The Liberator is mistakenly labled as "Vulcar Liberator" in pre-race setup menus.
