Detective Conan features many trucks motorcycles, and classic cars.
Contents
Protagonists' vehicles
Agasa's Volkswagen Beetle
Hiroshi Agasa drives a classic yellow Volkswagen beetle Type 1, and has owned it for at least ten years. The car has been produced after 1968, because it has front light in 90 degree angle.[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 trips, 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:
- Contact with the Black Organization
- Mountain Witch's Cutlery
- The Blue Spark of Hate (out of gas)
- A Dangerous Party of Two
- The Secret Played by the Diary
- Detectives' Nocturne
Yukiko's Jaguar E-Type
Yukiko Kudo drives a Series 2 Jaguar E-Type in Shinichi Kudo's New York Case. According to Yukiko, it has a 256 horsepower engine and a Le Mans winning chassis(Jaguar D-type won the 24 Hours of Le Mans three consecutive years 1955–1957 and E-type is based on it).[5] Shinichi jokingly refers to it as a "British Princess." Yukiko is a fast and reckless driver, which is perhaps the reason it was sent in for serious repairs that lasted for almost a month a year before the current timeline. She also got pulled over for going 40 mph (64.37 km/h) over the speed limit soon after she got it back. It has a New York state license plate with the number YUK-910 which is a pun on her name Yuk(iko) Ku-do (9-10). Notably, it is right-hand-drive, which means it must have been privately imported to America. It's possible that Yukiko brought it with her from Japan.
Jirokichi's Harley Davidson Electra Glide
Jirokichi drives what is likely a navy blue and silver Electra Glide Harley Davidson motorcycle with a sidecar, as seen in the Blue Wonder heist.

Trivia
- The majority of the cars in Japan have the steering wheel on the right side because Japan is left-hand traffic country; however, many of the vehicles driven by the FBI and the Black Organization have the steering wheel on the left. While this might be expected for the FBI because they originate from the United States which is a right-hand traffic country, this does not make sense for the Black Organization which has a significant base of operations in Japan. This is probably because left-hand drive vehicles are considered more prestigious than right-hand drive vehicles in Japanese culture because they are typically privately imported (like Gin's car, which was said to have been brought from overseas). In fact, many foreign manufacturers from LHD countries that sell their wares in Japan have officially sold the LHD version of the car there for that added prestige, even if they made a RHD version. Some Mercedes-Benz vehicles, for example, can even be ordered in the buyer's choice of either LHD or RHD.[30]

Although the animation was changed, the dialogue was not changed leading to many references to the original mostly white coloration. One example is Amuro's Zeon nickname the "White Devil".
