    Vintage ’90s styling, the ultimate Vice City callback


    Overview

    The Cheetah ’95 is the crown jewel of GTA 6’s Ultimate Edition — a vintage Sports Classic that directly references the original Vice City Cheetah. This isn’t just a car; it’s a time machine. The side strakes, the wedge profile, the low stance — it’s 1986 all over again, refined for a new generation.

    As an Ultimate Edition exclusive, the Cheetah ’95 is part of Rockstar’s premium offering. It represents the connection between the original Vice City and the modern sequel — the same car, 40 years later, still turning heads on Ocean Beach.

    Classic Vice City & GTA 6 Connection

    The Cheetah ’95 is the direct descendant of the original Vice City Cheetah. Same Ferrari Testarossa inspiration, same iconic design language, updated for the HD Universe. This is Rockstar saying: we haven’t forgotten where Vice City came from.

    For players who experienced the original Vice City, driving the Cheetah ’95 through modern Leonida will be a deeply nostalgic experience. For new players, it’s simply one of the most beautiful cars in the game.

    Trivia

    • Ultimate Edition exclusive — not available in the Standard Edition.
    • Based on the Ferrari Testarossa, the car that defined 1980s Vice City.
    • Part of the Vintage Vice City Pack aesthetic.
    • The ’95 designation places it in the mid-’90s — bridging the gap between the 1986 original and the 2026 setting.

    Key Feature

    First helicopter for many GTA players, freedom machine


    Overview

    The Maverick is the helicopter that defined Vice City — a Bell 206 JetRanger-inspired chopper that gave players the gift of flight. The first time you steal a Maverick from the VCN building rooftop and take to the skies over Vice City is a moment etched in gaming history.

    The Maverick isn’t armed, it isn’t fast, and it isn’t fancy. But it flies. And in Vice City, flying is freedom. From the air, Vice City reveals its full scope — the beaches, the neon, the mansions, the ocean stretching to the horizon.

    Classic Vice City & GTA 6 Connection

    Helicopters are confirmed for GTA 6 — Trailer 2 shows aerial views of Vice City, and flight is expected to be a major gameplay element.

    The Maverick (or its modern equivalent) will likely return as the standard civilian helicopter, providing the same freedom that made it legendary in 1986.

    Trivia

    • Based on the Bell 206 JetRanger — one of the most popular civilian helicopters ever produced.
    • The Maverick is the first helicopter many GTA players ever flew.
    • Can be found on rooftops throughout Vice City, including the VCN building.
    • Helicopters are essential for reaching hidden packages on rooftops.

    Key Feature

    Mounted weapons, Vice City waterway enforcement


    Overview

    The Predator is Vice City’s police patrol boat — the maritime equivalent of a police cruiser. When you’re speeding across the bay in a stolen speedboat, the Predator is what chases you. Fast, armed, and relentless.

    Vice City’s waterways are a major part of the map, and the Predator ensures that crime doesn’t pay even on the open water. Its mounted gun and multiple officers make it a serious threat when you’re trying to lose a wanted level at sea.

    Classic Vice City & GTA 6 Connection

    Boats are confirmed for GTA 6 — the Ultimate Edition includes the Squalo speedboat, and Leonida’s extensive coastline and waterways make naval gameplay essential.

    A modern police boat equivalent would fit perfectly in GTA 6’s Coast Guard missions, which connect to Jason’s drug-running operations through the Leonida Keys.

    Trivia

    • The Predator is equipped with a mounted machine gun — one of the few armed boats in Vice City.
    • Vice City’s waterways are patrolled by the VPUD (Vice Port Unified Department).
    • In GTA 6, the Coast Guard plays a role in the story — Jason monitors their comms.
    • The Squalo speedboat is confirmed as a GTA 6 Ultimate Edition vehicle.

    Key Feature

    Cruiser comfort, biker gang aesthetic, freedom machine


    Overview

    The Angel is Vice City’s chopper — a big, comfortable, Harley-Davidson-inspired cruiser motorcycle. It’s not the fastest bike in the game, but it’s the coolest. The Angel is about the journey, not the destination: top down (well, no top), wind in your face, Ocean Beach stretching ahead.

    In Vice City, the Angel is associated with the biker gangs that patrol the streets at night. It’s the bike you ride when you want to feel like a rebel, not a racer. Its low rumble and laid-back riding position make it the perfect Vice City cruiser.

    Classic Vice City & GTA 6 Connection

    Motorcycles are confirmed for GTA 6, and the Angel (or its modern equivalent) would fit perfectly in Leonida’s biker culture. The Florida motorcycle scene is massive — from Harley cruising on A1A to sport bikes tearing up I-95.

    For GTA 6, the Angel could return as part of a biker gang storyline or as a classic collectible motorcycle.

    Trivia

    • Based on Harley-Davidson touring cruisers — the iconic American motorcycle.
    • The Angel is one of the few cruiser-style motorcycles in Vice City.
    • Associated with biker gang missions in Vice City.
    • Florida has one of the largest motorcycle cultures in the US.

    Overview

    The Sentinel is Vice City’s working professional’s car — a German sports sedan inspired by the BMW 3 Series. It’s the car you steal when you need something fast, reliable, and forgettable. The mafia’s favorite sedan.

    In Vice City, the Sentinel is the unsung hero. It’s not flashy like the Cheetah or dramatic like the Infernus, but it gets the job done. Good speed, good handling, and a suitably professional appearance for when you’re doing business.

    Classic Vice City & GTA 6 Connection

    The Sentinel has appeared across the GTA series, evolving with each generation of BMW 3 Series. Its return in GTA 6 would continue the tradition of providing players with a dependable German sedan.

    For GTA 6’s modern setting, the Sentinel could represent the latest BMW M3 — a high-performance sedan that blends into traffic but can outrun most sports cars when needed.

    Trivia

    • Based on the BMW M3 (E30) — the original M3 and a motorsport legend.
    • The Sentinel name has been used since GTA III.
    • In Vice City, the Sentinel is commonly found in Downtown and Vice Point areas.
    • The mafia prefers German sedans — the Sentinel fits perfectly.

    Key Feature

    Stainless steel body, gull-wing doors, time-travel potential


    Overview

    The Deluxo is Vice City’s most beloved Easter egg vehicle — a direct homage to the DeLorean DMC-12 from Back to the Future. Its stainless steel body, gull-wing doors, and angular design make it instantly recognizable as the most famous movie car of all time.

    The Deluxo isn’t fast. It isn’t powerful. It isn’t even particularly good-looking in the traditional sense. But it has something no other car in Vice City has: cultural cachet. Driving a Deluxo is driving a piece of cinema history.

    Classic Vice City & GTA 6 Connection

    The Deluxo returned in GTA Online with a twist — it could be modified with a hover conversion, allowing it to fly. This was the ultimate realization of the Back to the Future homage.

    For GTA 6, the Deluxo could return as a collectible classic car. Given Vice City’s setting and Rockstar’s love of ’80s nostalgia, the Deluxo would be perfect fan service — especially if it includes a hover mode easter egg.

    Trivia

    • Directly based on the DeLorean DMC-12, the car from Back to the Future (1985).
    • In GTA Online, the Deluxo can be modified to hover and fly — a direct BTTF reference.
    • The real DeLorean was produced in Northern Ireland from 1981-1983.
    • Only about 9,000 DMC-12s were ever made.
    • The Deluxo is one of the most requested vehicles in the GTA community.

    Rear-engine layout, timeless design


    Overview

    The Comet is Vice City’s Porsche — a timeless sports car inspired by the Porsche 911. Its rounded curves, rear-engine layout, and balanced handling make it a driver’s car, not just a showpiece. Where the Cheetah screams and the Infernus snarls, the Comet purrs.

    The Comet has appeared in every GTA game, evolving alongside the real-world 911. Its enduring appeal is its design — the 911 silhouette has barely changed in 60 years, and neither has the Comet’s.

    Classic Vice City & GTA 6 Connection

    Multiple Comet variants are confirmed for GTA 6, including the Comet Retro Custom and Comet S2 Cabrio. These represent different eras of the Porsche 911 — from air-cooled classics to modern turbo cabriolets.

    The Comet’s presence in GTA 6 means the Porsche-inspired sports car lineage continues. For fans of the original Vice City Comet, the Retro Custom variant will be the nostalgic choice.

    Trivia

    • Based on the Porsche 911 — one of the most successful sports car designs ever.
    • The 911 has been in continuous production since 1963.
    • Multiple Comet variants confirmed for GTA 6, including a Retro Custom for classic car lovers.
    • The Comet’s name evokes speed and celestial style.

    Raw American muscle in a sports car body


    Overview

    The Banshee is Vice City’s all-American sports car — inspired by the Dodge Viper, it’s raw, loud, and brutally fast. Where European supercars (Cheetah, Infernus) are about precision engineering, the Banshee is about horsepower and attitude.

    The Banshee has been a GTA staple since the original game. Its long hood, side pipes, and aggressive stance make it one of the most recognizable American performance cars in the GTA universe.

    Classic Vice City & GTA 6 Connection

    The Banshee is confirmed for GTA 6 — appearing in official screenshots and trailers. The GTA 6 version appears to be a modern interpretation of the Dodge Viper, with updated styling but the same aggressive character.

    From 1986 Vice City to 2026 Leonida, the Banshee has spanned 40 years of GTA history. It’s one of the few vehicles that connects both eras directly.

    Trivia

    • Based on the Dodge Viper, which debuted in 1992 (though the Banshee appeared in GTA before the Viper existed).
    • The Viper was famous for its raw, unfiltered driving experience — no roof, no windows, no mercy.
    • Confirmed for GTA 6 via official Rockstar screenshots.
    • The Banshee has appeared in every major GTA game since the original.

    Key Feature

    Scissor doors, wedge design, pure ’80s excess


    Overview

    The Infernus is the other half of Vice City’s supercar duo — where the Cheetah is the Ferrari, the Infernus is the Lamborghini. Inspired by the Lamborghini Countach, it’s all aggressive angles, scissor-door drama, and gut-wrenching speed. The Infernus doesn’t just arrive — it announces.

    In Vice City, the Infernus is one of the rarest and most desirable cars. Finding one feels like winning the lottery. Its angular design and low stance make it instantly recognizable, and its performance matches its looks — blisteringly fast with sharp (if twitchy) handling.

    Classic Vice City & GTA 6 Connection

    The Infernus has appeared in every major GTA game, evolving from the Countach-inspired original to later versions based on the Lamborghini Diablo and Murciélago. In GTA 6, the Infernus name could return as a modern supercar, or as a vintage variant in the Ultimate Edition.

    The real-world Countach was the poster car of the 1980s — literally. It adorned millions of bedroom walls. In Vice City, it’s the dream you can steal.

    Trivia

    • Based on the Lamborghini Countach — the definitive 1980s poster car.
    • The Countach popularized the scissor door design.
    • In Vice City, the Infernus is one of the fastest cars in the game.
    • The name ‘Infernus’ (Latin for ‘hell’) has been used since GTA III.
