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

The Karin Previon spawns with previon. Below: its handling numbers explained and ranked against the Coupes 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 Previon 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 179 km/h (111 mph), from fInitialDriveMaxFlatVel 149.45 x 1.2. 6 of the 21 Coupes vehicles in the game files have a higher limit; the class median is 174 km/h.
• Drive force per tonne: 0.245 (fInitialDriveForce 0.319 on 1,300 kg). That is 63% more than the Coupes median of 0.15; it is a handling index for how hard it pulls for its weight, not horsepower.
• Brakes: fBrakeForce 0.85 with 55% of the braking on the front axle (class median 0.9).
• Grip: peak traction 2.487 and sliding traction 2.373 (fTractionCurveMax / Min). The gap of 0.114 is how much grip it loses once the tyres slide; 49% of the grip sits on the front axle.
• Weight: 1,300 kg, 16% lighter than the Coupes median of 1,545 kg.

Against all 21 Coupes vehicles in the game files

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

Spawn the Previon in FiveM

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

local model = `previon` -- 0x546DA331
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('spawnprevion', function(source)
    local ped = GetPlayerPed(source)
    local pos = GetEntityCoords(ped)
    local veh = CreateVehicleServerSetter(`previon`, '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 previon.
• txAdmin: in-game menu, Spawn Vehicle, type previon.
• QBCore / ESX: /car previon for admins.
• The second argument of CreateVehicleServerSetter is the vehicle type; for the Previon 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('previon') and the Lua backtick form `previon` return.

Use the Previon 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 Previon sound set:

<audioNameHash>previon</audioNameHash>

• Engine audio type: granular. Recorded engine samples blended by engine speed, the type most modern GTA cars use.
• The audio object sets rev limiter pops.
• In our engine sound catalogue it is listed in the Tuner I4 / compact 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

• Mod kit id 470 (470_previon_modkit): 204 visible parts, 15 of them liveries.
• 5 factory colour combinations in carvariations.meta.
• carvariations lightSettings 2: the headlight and taillight preset it reads from carcols.
• sirenSettings 0 (no siren lights).
• Plates: rear only (Standard White).
• Stock wheel category at the mod shop: Sport.
• Seat layout LAYOUT_LOW_ZR350, 2 seats.

Questions

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

The spawn code (model name) is previon. Its joaat hash is 0x546DA331 (1416471345 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 Previon in GTA 5?

Its handling gives a top-gear limit of about 179 km/h (111 mph): fInitialDriveMaxFlatVel 149.45 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 1,300 kg.

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

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