The Wyman car collection

Rockstar's Ultimate Edition press material includes a whole yard full of cars, shot across six images under the name Wyman. It's one of the more interesting things in the set, and it's a collection, with no single car at the centre of it.

The first shot shows a man in a Wyman's World shirt standing among the collection. There are classics in every direction, and behind him there's a race car with the number 36 on its door.

What Wyman is

Rockstar's edition copy calls it a classic car restoration commission, and it's the Ultimate Edition's bonus side mission. The PlayStation Store's list of Ultimate content has it as a Classic Car Collection of project cars from Wyman. So the yard's a job: Wyman has cars that need work, and you're the one doing it (everything in the Ultimate Edition).

Several write-ups say Ultimate comes with two exclusive side missions. The most detailed edition breakdowns only list this one and Rockstar hasn't given a number, so we're counting one. Standard against Ultimate has the full comparison.

What's in the shots

• A teal muscle coupe, photographed from the rear three-quarter
• A weathered orange and white pickup, sun-faded and sitting in dirt
• A red and white race car carrying number 36
• A cream classic with chrome wire wheels, shot in close detail
• A car in stars-and-stripes livery badged Deviant

Why the yard gets its own page

Rockstar rarely photographs cars it doesn't intend you to get near, and here we know why it did. A yard of period-correct classics with a named owner was always going to be more than set dressing, and the series has a long history of building missions around exactly this: somebody with a collection, and a list of cars they want brought to them.

The condition range fits a restoration job. A concours cream coupe next to a rotting pickup is what a real collector's yard looks like, and our reading is that the rough ones are the projects. Rockstar hasn't said which cars you actually work on.

The other car job: WAINK

Wyman isn't the only way the game pays you for cars. Edge, which saw a Rockstar demo for its 29 October cover feature, reports a phone app called WAINK that lists the cars fences want, with the model, its security and whether it's tracked. What you get paid depends partly on the condition you deliver it in, and some expensive modern cars keep broadcasting their location after you take them.

Edge also says some story missions need you to raise money before you can start them, and stealing cars for fences is one way to do it. Nothing links WAINK to Wyman. They're separate things that both happen to care what state a car's in.

What isn't known

Rockstar's called it a restoration commission, but it hasn't said whether Wyman is a person, a business or a place (the shirt says Wyman's World), how the mission plays, or where in the story it turns up. It hasn't confirmed any of these cars as drivable either, or said whether you keep any of them afterwards. The Deviant name is readable in the imagery. None of the others are badged in any shot we can read, so we're describing them and we won't guess at names.

We'll split this page into individual vehicle entries as names get confirmed.
