Fans of Grand Theft Auto VI now have an opportunity to own one of the game's iconic cars in real life. Rockstar Games has teamed up with Los Angeles-based automotive customisation company West Coast Customs to recreate the fictional Grotti Cheetah, and the customised supercar is now available for purchase at Selfridges in London for £1 million (approximately $1.3 million).
The vehicle is part of a special GTA 6-themed showcase at the luxury department store. While the car was initially displayed as part of the promotional event, it has now been listed for sale, giving wealthy collectors and gaming enthusiasts a chance to own a unique piece of automotive and gaming memorabilia.
Real-Life Grotti Cheetah Is Based on Ferrari Testarossa
The fictional Grotti Cheetah takes inspiration from classic Italian supercars, particularly the Ferrari Testarossa. West Coast Customs has used a real Ferrari Testarossa as the foundation for the custom-built vehicle, recreating the distinctive appearance of the car featured in the Grand Theft Auto universe.
The exterior features a striking blue-to-pink paint finish inspired by Vice City, the fictional setting associated with GTA 6. The custom paintwork, described as a 'Vice City fade', gives the car a distinctive look that reflects the game's colourful aesthetic.
The modifications reportedly include lowered suspension, track-focused tyres and a customised Italian leather interior with bespoke stitching. The car also carries Grotti branding to make it resemble its fictional counterpart.
What Is Under the Hood?
The real-life recreation is reportedly powered by a naturally aspirated 4.9-litre V8 engine. However, detailed information about its mechanical specifications, performance figures and the original donor vehicle has not been fully disclosed.
Unlike a standard showroom vehicle, this is a specially customised promotional build created to bring a fictional GTA 6 car into the real world.
Where Can You Buy the GTA 6 Supercar?
The real-life Grotti Cheetah is displayed at Selfridges' Corner Shop on Oxford Street in London. Interested buyers can enquire about purchasing the vehicle through the retailer's Personal Shopping service.
The asking price is £1 million, equivalent to approximately $1.3 million. The car is reportedly the only one of the six GTA 6-inspired vehicles recreated by West Coast Customs that has been confirmed for sale so far.
Six GTA 6 Cars Recreated in Real Life
The Grotti Cheetah is part of a collection of six vehicles recreated for Rockstar Games' promotional campaign. The other vehicles include the Albany Buccaneer, Progen Emerus, Invetero Coquette, Albany Manana and Pegassi Tempesta police car.
Although all six vehicles have received real-world interpretations, the Grotti Cheetah is the only one currently reported to be available for purchase.
The Selfridges showcase also features GTA 6-inspired clothing, accessories and merchandise based on fictional brands and locations from the game.
With a £1 million asking price, the real-life Grotti Cheetah is far removed from the virtual car players may drive in GTA 6. For collectors with a passion for gaming and supercars, however, it offers a rare opportunity to own a custom vehicle inspired by one of the most anticipated video games.
