This guide will show you how to add a car to the game.

{% hint style="info" %}
This guide may not cover all 2.0 changes. Most everything should be correct, let me know if you find any issues.
{% endhint %}

### Wait, this is not what I want!

* For a guide on how to visually change base game vehicles, see [altering-appearances-within-wolvenkit-full-workflow](https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/npcs/appearances-change-the-looks/altering-appearances-within-wolvenkit-full-workflow "mention") (the process is the same for cars)
* If you want to change the way a vehicle **behaves**, you need to alter the [vehicle-drive-model-data-record](https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/references-lists-and-overviews/vehicles/vehicle-drive-model-data-record "mention")
* For the visual learners among us, there is a video series by boe6. It's not complete and the information may be outdated, but you can find them here:

## The guide

In this guide I’ll be bringing a Mini Cooper into Cyberpunk 2077. All methods should translate to whatever vehicle you add. The guide assumes you follow along in order. The later steps **will** skip basic info covered in previous steps, unless its written otherwise.

### Finding help

If at any point during this guide you get stuck, or if you have questions, find us on the [redmodding discord](https://discord.gg/redmodding)!

You can ask general questions in `#mod-dev-chat`, or find a channel for specific issues (such as `#textures-and-models`, you might want to remember this one.)

You can also DM me on discord **@boe6**, I can't promise fast replies but I'll help however I can :)
