GTA 6 Grotti Cheetah: The '95 Supercar Headlining the Ultimate Edition
The GTA 6 Grotti Cheetah is confirmed as a $100 Ultimate Edition exclusive. Here is the '95 Cheetah explained: its Vice City Testarossa roots, what comes with it, and how to get it.
The GTA 6 Grotti Cheetah is the headline vehicle of the game's Ultimate Edition, and it is a deliberate love letter to the original Vice City. Officially called the '95 Grotti Cheetah, it is a mid-1990s sports car styled as a clear homage to the Ferrari Testarossa, the same silhouette that made the Cheetah a legend back in 2002. Rockstar revealed it alongside the confirmed GTA 6 price and the June 25 preorder launch, and it instantly became one of the most talked-about pieces of the whole reveal. Here is everything we know about the '95 Grotti Cheetah.
What is the GTA 6 Grotti Cheetah?
The '95 Grotti Cheetah is a premium supercar bundled exclusively with the $100 Ultimate Edition of GTA 6. Rockstar describes it as Grotti's signature mid-90s sports car, and the official screenshots make the inspiration obvious: pop-up-era proportions, a wide low stance, side strakes, and a clean white finish broken by a single red racing stripe. It is the kind of car that defined the look of Vice City, dropped into the modern Leonida setting.
Unlike a livery or a cosmetic unlock, the Cheetah is real in-game content that threads through Jason and Lucia's story rather than sitting in a separate menu. It is one of several Ultimate Edition vehicles meant to give buyers something to drive through the later stretches of the campaign.
A Vice City icon returns
The Cheetah is not a new name. It is one of the oldest and most beloved cars in the series, and its return is loaded with history.
- In the early games, including the original Vice City, the Cheetah was the standout Testarossa-style supercar, the dream ride of the era.
- By GTA 5 and GTA Online, the modern Grotti Cheetah had morphed into a contemporary hypercar, while Rockstar later added the Cheetah Classic to bring back that retro Testarossa shape fans loved.
- Now, in GTA 6, the '95 Grotti Cheetah takes the car all the way back to its roots, a wedge-shaped 90s supercar that fits Leonida's neon, sun-soaked, Vice-City-revival aesthetic perfectly.
Putting a retro Cheetah at the center of the Ultimate Edition is a clear nod to long-time players. For a game built on the legacy of the original Vice City, few vehicles carry more nostalgia.
What else comes in the Ultimate Edition
The Cheetah is the headliner, but the $100 Ultimate Edition is a full bundle. Based on Rockstar's official breakdown, it includes:
- The '95 Grotti Cheetah supercar.
- Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers, framed as sourced from the Vercetti Estate, another deep Vice City callback.
- Personalized weapon variants and an exclusive apparel, tattoo, and accessory collection.
- A Shitzu Squalo boat and a '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy.
- The Vapid Ganado Retro Build modkit and the Rideout Customs mod shop.
- Two additional side missions woven into the main story.
Everyone who preorders, on either edition, also gets the separate Vintage Vice City Pack, which adds a classic '55 Vapid Stanier, exclusive outfits, and a vintage weapon pattern on top of all this. We broke down every official image of both bundles in our full Ultimate Edition showcase.
How to get the GTA 6 Grotti Cheetah
The only way to get the '95 Grotti Cheetah at launch is the Ultimate Edition:
- Price: $100 (the Ultimate Edition; the standard edition is $80 and does not include the Cheetah).
- Preorders: open at midnight on June 25, 2026, through official storefronts and verified retailers.
- Platforms: PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
- Release: November 19, 2026, with preloading from November 12.
If the Cheetah is the reason you are upgrading, the Ultimate Edition is the tier to pick. As always, buy only from official stores. Fake preorder pages and scam listings are spiking right now, and we covered how to avoid them in our GTA 6 scam guide.
Will the Cheetah come to GTA Online?
This is the open question, and it is worth being clear that Rockstar has not confirmed anything here. Right now the '95 Grotti Cheetah is described purely as a story-mode Ultimate Edition vehicle for GTA 6.
That said, the series has a long history of special-edition and story vehicles eventually appearing in the online mode in some form, so it would not be a surprise if the Cheetah, or a version of it, reached GTA 6's online component down the line. Treat that as informed speculation, not a promise. Until Rockstar says so directly, the confirmed facts are simple: the '95 Grotti Cheetah is an Ultimate Edition exclusive at launch.
The bottom line
The GTA 6 Grotti Cheetah is more than a preorder carrot. It is Rockstar reaching back to the car that helped define Vice City and rebuilding it for the biggest game it has ever made. A retro Testarossa-style supercar, in white with a red stripe, parked under Leonida's neon skyline, is exactly the kind of detail that tells you what GTA 6 is going for. If you want it on day one, it lives in the $100 Ultimate Edition, with preorders open from June 25.
