'95 Grotti Cheetah
ConfirmedSports car · Ultimate Edition announcement (June 24, 2026)
The '95 Grotti Cheetah is the headline car of GTA VI's official pre-order lineup — a mid-'90s sports car Rockstar named itself as part of the Ultimate Edition.
The ’95 Grotti Cheetah is one of the few GTA VI vehicles Rockstar has named in official material — all of them edition bonuses. It headlines the Ultimate Edition content revealed alongside the June 2026 pre-order announcement — full edition breakdown on the release date page.
What’s confirmed
Rockstar describes it as Grotti’s signature mid-’90s sports car, an “ode to Shore Drive” in the company’s words, wearing a minimalist retro-futuristic livery. It unlocks for Ultimate Edition buyers and, per Rockstar’s phrasing, becomes available to punctuate later-stage action — which reads like a mid-to-late-game delivery rather than a starter car. Pre-orders carrying it opened June 25, 2026 (news entry).
Series lore
The Cheetah nameplate is one of the oldest in the franchise, going back to the original Grand Theft Auto in 1997. Grotti is Rockstar’s long-running Ferrari stand-in, and the Vice City-era Cheetah was styled after the Testarossa — the definitive ’80s Miami exotic. A ’95 model year lands the new car squarely in the nostalgia window for a modern Vice City sequel, and the Shore Drive nod ties it to the beachfront strip shown in both trailers.
What is NOT confirmed
Rockstar has not published performance stats, a price, customization options, or whether a standard (non-Ultimate) Cheetah variant exists in the base game. The only other officially named vehicles are also edition bonuses — the pre-order pack’s ’55 Vapid Stanier and Ultimate Edition extras like the Dinka Enduro and Shitzu Squalo. Every trailer-spotted name, including the ones on this site marked Rumored, comes from press analysis of footage, not from Rockstar.
