Grotti Cheetah Classic

Based On: Ferrari Testarossa (1984–1996)

The wedge-profile white sports car threading through Vice City's neon in Trailer 2 is, by near-unanimous community identification, a returning Cheetah Classic — and its real-world basis could not be more on-theme. The body language is pure Ferrari Testarossa: the long doors, the strake side intakes, the flat tail. That is the exact car Sonny Crockett drove in Miami Vice, the show whose pastel-and-chrome Miami is GTA 6's most obvious aesthetic ancestor.

So while the vehicle's presence in the game is confirmed by official trailer footage, treat the name "Cheetah Classic" as the strongest community read rather than a Rockstar pronouncement — and treat the numbers below as estimates.

Estimated performance profile: roughly 180 mph and 0–60 in the low-5-second range — quick, but tuned more for presence than for lap times. The Testarossa archetype rewards straight-line cruising down a beachfront drive over hairpin precision.

Role in Leonida's lineup: the halo of the sports-classic tier — the car you keep for how it looks parked under a streetlight, not just how it drives. Expect it to sit alongside modern supercars as the retro flex.

Customization (speculative): period-correct wheels, paint, and tuning at Los Santos Customs–equivalent shops, following prior-title patterns. Not yet detailed by Rockstar.

Status: confirmed to appear in-game from trailer footage; name and stats community-derived. Full verified stats land within 12 hours of GTA 6's November 19, 2026 launch.
