GTA 6 Comes to Life as West Coast Customs Builds Six Wild Real-World Cars for Rockstar Games

Rockstar Games commissioned Los Angeles-based West Coast Customs to build six street-legal-looking real-world versions of vehicles from Grand Theft Auto VI, Gagadget.com reported. The cars were posted next to their in-game twins and appeared in a Miami convoy shot from the official screenshot set. The six pairings are the Grotti Cheetah, Pegassi Tempesta, Progen Emerus, Invetero Coquette, Albany Buccaneer and Albany Manana, according to Gagadget.com citing the TechWiser car list. MMOEXP described the collaboration as recreating seven recognizable in-game vehicles, listing the Grotti Cheetah, Albany Buccaneer, Progen Emerus, Coquette, Albany Manana and Pegassi Tempesta, though its count of seven does not match the six named vehicles.

The real-life builds feature custom paint jobs, upgraded interiors, modified suspensions, unique wheels and detailed bodywork, MMOEXP reported. The Grotti Cheetah has a lowered stance, track-ready tires and a custom leather cabin. The Albany Buccaneer is a restored 1960s-style lowrider with candy apple green paint, gold accents and zebra-print interior elements. The Progen Emerus has an aggressive aerodynamic design, oversized rear wing and orange interior. The Coquette features a camouflage-inspired design, pink brake calipers, custom wheels and lowered suspension. The Albany Manana has Vice City blue metallic paint, gold bumpers, oversized chrome wheels and a matching leather interior. The Pegassi Tempesta carries a Vice Beach Police Department livery with rooftop lights, underglow and custom police equipment.

RockstarINTEL reported that the real-life Grotti Cheetah is on sale at Selfridges in London for £1 million, available only through a Selfridges Personal Shopping one-to-one appointment. The car was flown from Miami to London on Sunday and is on display at a GTA VI popup store. RockstarINTEL quoted Selfridge's description: "The Grotti Cheetah is quintessentially Miami. The classic mid-engined '90s supercar is clean, with Italian-styled lines broken only by intakes feeding a 4.9L naturally-aspirated V8. West Coast Customs lowered it on track-ready tires, gave it a 'Vice City fade' paint job, and trimmed the cabin with custom-stitched Italian leather."

GTA VI launches November 19, Gagadget.com reported, with pre-loading starting November 10. Rockstar says the game unlocks at midnight local time in each region, meaning 00:00 GMT on November 19 in the UK. Pre-load starts November 10 on PS5 at local midnight and at 12 a.m. GMT on Xbox Series X|S. The file can reach 212 GB. Gagadget.com noted some reports give November 12, but Rockstar and PlayStation both say November 10. There is no PC version yet and no official date for one. MMOEXP cautioned that Rockstar has not confirmed every modification shown in the real-life builds will be available as an in-game customization option.
