Dinka is a fictional Japanese vehicle maker in the Grand Theft Auto series, first seen in GTA IV (2008). The GTA Wiki says it is based mainly on Honda. It builds small hatchbacks, sports cars and family cars, plus motorbikes and quad bikes. Its best-known models include the Blista, the Jester sports car, the RT3000 roadster and the Akuma and Double-T bikes.

What is Dinka in GTA?

Dinka is one of two big Japanese brands in the modern games, alongside Karin. It covers compact cars, family saloons and sports cars, as well as sports bikes, dirt bikes, quad bikes and even a sailing yacht, the Marquis. More brands are listed in the GTA vehicles hub.

Which real car brand is Dinka based on?

Honda. The GTA Wiki notes that the logo recalls Honda's 1960s H badge, and that red-backed badges on fast models copy Honda's Type R branding. An American Dinka division mirrors American Honda. The name is probably a play on Dinky Toys, the British toy-car maker, a word later used for any small, cheap car. Two Jester models are the main exceptions: the Jester Classic and Jester RR take after the Toyota Supra rather than any Honda.

Dinka first turns up in GTA IV, released on 29 April 2008 according to Wikipedia. The brand then carries on through the handheld Chinatown Wars, GTA V and GTA Online, which keeps adding new models with its updates. Wikipedia notes that the cars of GTA IV are not copies of any single real vehicle but mix elements of several with the developers' own ideas, and the brand system grew out of that approach.

What are the best-known Dinka vehicles?

The Akuma and Double-T are fast bikes found in GTA IV and GTA V; our GTA motorcycles page covers two-wheelers in more depth. Dinka also makes the Thrust and Vindicator touring bikes, both modelled on unusual Honda designs.
