Phantom in FiveM: spawn code, top speed and engine sound

The JoBuilt Phantom spawns with phantom. Below: its handling numbers explained and ranked against the Commercial class, ready Lua spawn code, the three forms of its hash, how to use its sound on an add-on car, and its mod kit, colour and light ids.

Read from the game files of GTA V Legacy build 1.0.3889.0 on November 8, 2026. It already exists in game build 3258, the build many FiveM servers enforce. By the FiveMRides team.

How the Phantom drives, in numbers

• Rear-wheel drive: fDriveBiasFront is 0.0, so all of the drive force goes to the rear wheels. It has 5 forward gears.
• Top-gear limit: about 148 km/h (92 mph), from fInitialDriveMaxFlatVel 123 x 1.2. 5 of the 24 Commercial vehicles in the game files have a higher limit; the class median is 144 km/h.
• Drive force per tonne: 0.018 (fInitialDriveForce 0.21 on 12,000 kg). That is 9% less than the Commercial median of 0.019; it is a handling index for how hard it pulls for its weight, not horsepower.
• Brakes: fBrakeForce 0.8 with 45% of the braking on the front axle (class median 0.25).
• Grip: peak traction 1.65 and sliding traction 1.55 (fTractionCurveMax / Min). The gap of 0.1 is how much grip it loses once the tyres slide; 49% of the grip sits on the front axle.
• Weight: 12,000 kg, 71% heavier than the Commercial median of 7,000 kg.

Against all 24 Commercial vehicles in the game files

The bar runs from the lowest to the highest value in the class, the filled part ends at the Phantom, the light tick is the class median. Hover a row for the numbers. Stock values without upgrades.

Spawn the Phantom in FiveM

Client script (spawns it where the player stands and seats them in it):

local model = `phantom` -- 0x809AA4CB
RequestModel(model)
while not HasModelLoaded(model) do Wait(0) end
local ped = PlayerPedId()
local pos = GetEntityCoords(ped)
local veh = CreateVehicle(model, pos.x, pos.y, pos.z, GetEntityHeading(ped), true, false)
SetPedIntoVehicle(ped, veh, -1)
SetModelAsNoLongerNeeded(model)

Server script (OneSync, the server owns the entity; admin only through the ACE restriction):

RegisterCommand('spawnphantom', function(source)
    local ped = GetPlayerPed(source)
    local pos = GetEntityCoords(ped)
    local veh = CreateVehicleServerSetter(`phantom`, 'automobile', pos.x, pos.y, pos.z, GetEntityHeading(ped))
    while not DoesEntityExist(veh) do Wait(0) end
    SetPedIntoVehicle(ped, veh, -1)
end, true)

• vMenu: Vehicle Spawner, then Spawn Vehicle By Model Name, type phantom.
• txAdmin: in-game menu, Spawn Vehicle, type phantom.
• QBCore / ESX: /car phantom for admins.
• The second argument of CreateVehicleServerSetter is the vehicle type; for the Phantom it is automobile. A wrong type makes the server entity fail.

An add-on car that does not appear is a different problem (stream folder, data_file lines, model name): see FiveM car not spawning. All vanilla codes in one table: FiveM spawn codes list.

Hashes

All three are the same number: the joaat (Jenkins one-at-a-time) hash of the lower case name, which is what GetHashKey('phantom') and the Lua backtick form `phantom` return.

Use the Phantom engine sound on your car

The game has a car audio object named after this model, so one line in the vehicles.meta of an add-on car makes it use the Phantom sound set:

<audioNameHash>phantom</audioNameHash>

• Engine audio type: classic. The older loop based engine audio, common on trucks and older vehicles.
• In our engine sound catalogue it is listed in the Diesel / heavy truck family.
• The audio object is the whole vehicle sound: engine, horn, doors and radio genre change together. How it sounds on your car also depends on that car's gears and top speed.

Want a recorded engine instead of a GTA one? FiveM engine sounds lists 102 packs and the Soundpack Maker builds the resource.

Mod kit, colours and lights

• 9 factory colour combinations in carvariations.meta.
• carvariations lightSettings 14: the headlight and taillight preset it reads from carcols.
• sirenSettings 0 (no siren lights).
• Plates: front and rear.
• Stock wheel category at the mod shop: Sport.
• Seat layout LAYOUT_TRUCK, 2 seats.

vehicles.meta flags

All 8 flags

• FLAG_BIG
• FLAG_CAN_HONK_WHEN_FLEEING

Questions

What is the spawn code for the Phantom in GTA 5 and FiveM?

The spawn code (model name) is phantom. Its joaat hash is 0x809AA4CB (2157618379 as an unsigned number). Admin menus such as vMenu, txAdmin and the /car command of QBCore or ESX take the model name as it is.

How fast is the Phantom in GTA 5?

Its handling gives a top-gear limit of about 148 km/h (92 mph): fInitialDriveMaxFlatVel 123 x 1.2, the value GetVehicleModelEstimatedMaxSpeed returns for ordinary handling values. Drag and upgrades change what a driver sees. It is RWD with 5 gears and weighs 12,000 kg.

Can I give an add-on car the Phantom engine sound?

Yes. Put <audioNameHash>phantom</audioNameHash> in the add-on car's vehicles.meta. The game then uses the Phantom audio object, which is the whole vehicle sound: engine, horn, doors and radio genre change together.
