Detective Conan features many trucks, motorcycles and classic cars.

Volkswagen Beetle

Hiroshi Agasa drives a classic yellow Volkswagen beetle Type 1, and has owned it for at least ten years.[1] Agasa's license plate is 新宿 500, ひ 1-64 (Shinjuku 500, Hi 1-64).[2] The plate kana and number are a pun on "Hiroshi" (Hi-i-ro-shi). Possibly the most frequently appearing car in Detective Conan, Agasa often takes the Detective Boys in the beetle to various interesting places or on camping tricks, which are inevitably spoiled by a mystery of some sort. A recurring joke in Detective Conan is that Agasa's beetle frequently breaks down, often while he and the Detective Boys are on a trip, and then a case occurs wherever they stop. Cases where the beetle has broken down include:

Mazda RX-7

Miwako Sato

Miwako Sato drives a red colored series 6 Mazda (Ẽfini) RX-7 that used to be owned by her father, Masayoshi Sato, making it over 18 years old.[5]. She uses it for police work, but it is unmarked; when she needs to use police lights, she attaches a roof mounted rotating beacon to the top of the car. The RX-7 used to be white, but she repainted it to make it more visible in foggy conditions after some accidents occurred in a popular drag racing area. It features prominently in the Silver White witch case. A combination of the tire squealing and Sato's shrieking gives her car a characteristic eerie sound when she drifts. Sato's license plate is 新宿 300, ゆ 9-01 (Shinjuku 300, Yu 9-01).

Tooru Amuro

Tooru Amuro drives a white colored FD RX-7. The RX-7 was T-boned when Amuro intentionally maneuvered it in front of another car being driven by a hostage taker in order to stop her.[7] While the side doors were badly damaged, it otherwise seemed to survive the impact without too much other damage. His RX-7 is a reference to the white[8] Gundam that the Mobile Suit Gundam character Amuro Ray piloted, the RX-78-2.

Porsche 356A

Gin drives a black Porsche 356A. The 356A is an old classic German car (produced 1955–59) and is quite rare. Both Conan's allies and the FBI know that Gin often drives this model, and that its presence signals danger. According to Haibara, it is Gin's favorite car and he refers to it as a "German black rain frog" in reference to the Opel Laubfrosch. The Porsche features a flat engine that makes a characteristic idling noise which Conan has used to identify it over his listening devices. Earlier in the manga, Gin often drove it personally, but as the series has progressed more often Vodka chauffeurs Gin around. The license plate has never been shown in the manga, but in the anime it has the license plate numbers 48-69 in its first appearance, and then later 新宿 54, み 43-69 (Shinjuku 54, Mi 43-69)[10] or 43-68.
