Declasse Tulip
RumoredMuscle car · Trailer 1 (Dec 4, 2023), per press identification
The Declasse Tulip is the red muscle car press identified as Jason and Lucia's getaway ride in Trailer 1 — Rockstar itself hasn't named it for GTA VI.
A weathered red muscle car with black hood stripes closes out Trailer 1, carrying Jason and Lucia away from a robbery. Outlets covering the trailers identified it as the Declasse Tulip, a car GTA Online players already know.
Why it’s labeled Rumored
Rockstar has not printed the name “Tulip” in any GTA VI material. The identification comes from automotive and gaming press matching the car’s body lines to the existing GTA Online model — solid reporting, but still analysis rather than an official fact. On this site that distinction matters: Rockstar has only named vehicles through edition bonuses like the ’95 Grotti Cheetah, so press-derived entries like this one stay marked Rumored until Rockstar says otherwise.
Series lore
The Tulip joined GTA Online in 2019 as Declasse’s take on the 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle. Declasse is Rockstar’s Chevrolet analog, and the Tulip’s four-door Sport Sedan proportions make it an unusual pick for a hero car — which is exactly why its battered, vinyl-roofed appearance in the trailer reads as deliberate character work. Press analysis of Trailer 2 spotted what appears to be the same car again, alongside a much longer list of returning nameplates.
What is NOT confirmed
Whether the Tulip is drivable, purchasable, or story-locked; its performance; and whether the trailer car is Jason’s personal vehicle. The features tracker follows what Rockstar has actually confirmed about cars, including security tiers and the stolen-vehicle economy.
