Overview
The Stinger is the gentleman’s choice in Vice City — a classic convertible sports car inspired by the Ferrari Daytona Spider. Where the Cheetah screams speed and aggression, the Stinger whispers wealth and class. It’s the car you drive to the golf course, the marina, or the steps of your Starfish Island mansion.
The Stinger’s long hood, short deck proportions, and open-top design make it one of the most beautiful cars in Vice City. It’s not the fastest — that honor goes to the Cheetah and Infernus — but it’s the most stylish. In a city built on image, style matters.
Classic Vice City & GTA 6 Connection
The Stinger hasn’t been explicitly confirmed for GTA 6 yet, but given Rockstar’s commitment to Vice City nostalgia (the Vintage Vice City Pack, the Cheetah ’95), it’s a strong candidate for inclusion.
The real-world Ferrari Daytona is one of the most valuable classic Ferraris, with examples selling for $3-5 million. As a Sports Classic in GTA 6, it would fit perfectly alongside the Cheetah ’95 in the vintage collection.
