Rockstar reportedly built six real GTA 6 cars in Miami
Updated

West Coast Customs reportedly recreated six game vehicles in Miami, and a Grotti Cheetah is said to cost one million pounds at Selfridges.
Rockstar Games and West Coast Customs reportedly built six real GTA 6 cars and drove them around Miami, so you can now see the game's designs in actual metal. LifeBoxset reported it on November 9, and Rockstar hasn't confirmed it on its official site.

Rockstar Games has posted a few-second first-person clip on Instagram featuring the West Coast Customs cars, according to Insider Gaming on 11 November 2026. The camera rides in the back seat of a car and then walks alongside the vehicles. The outlet says it recreates, inside the game, a real video uploaded earlier with those same cars. The @videotech account on X says Rockstar confirmed it on Instagram.
What changes: there is now in-game footage of these cars, while the official website still does not mention them. Neither source links the original post, and Insider Gaming stresses the clip does not show what a first-person mode would look like.
Until now, the tangible side of GTA 6 came down to the limited edition DualSense controllers and The Goodtime State collector's box. West Coast Customs, a Los Angeles shop that customizes cars, already recreated a Bravado Banshee to promote GTA V in 2013. This time it has rolled half a Vice City garage onto real streets.

There are six, according to LifeBoxset, an entertainment site: the Grotti Cheetah, Pegassi Tempesta, Progen Emerus, Invetero Coquette, Albany Buccaneer and Albany Manana. They run, and they have their own rims, paint and interiors, plus license plates from the fictional state of Leonida.
The cars were photographed and filmed in Miami, the city that inspires Vice City. LifeBoxset says the collaboration became public on November 7 and names Complex and Wallpaper as the outlets that covered it.
The Cheetah recalls Italian supercars of the eighties, the Buccaneer is a green lowrider with gold details, and the Tempesta is a police cruiser dressed in Vice Beach imagery. The Coquette comes in pink and purple, and the Manana is built in donk style, with oversized wheels.

La Lista says you can: the Grotti Cheetah, inspired by the Ferrari Testarossa, is on sale for one million pounds at Selfridges, a British department store. The same outlet puts that at roughly 1.2 to 1.3 million euros.

LifeBoxset says the opposite: none of the six cars is at a dealership, and Rockstar hasn't announced a sale to the public. The X account @MovistareSports, which La Lista embeds in its text, describes a car on display at Selfridges in London and valued at one million pounds, not a completed sale.

The six cars are campaign pieces, not game content.
The six cars are campaign pieces, not game content. LifeBoxset points out that there is no announcement of a sale outside the game, no giveaways and no permanent exhibitions, and that nobody has confirmed the exact modifications on the real cars will reach players.
What you do get is a close look: you can compare rims, paint jobs and finishes on six cars from the game and decide which ones to hunt for in Leonida. If the real Cheetah tempts you, ask Selfridges first whether it's for sale or only on display.
A 2013 precedent with a single car

West Coast Customs already worked on the series' promotion in 2013, when it recreated the Banshee for GTA V, which came out on September 17, 2013 on PS3 and Xbox 360. For perspective, six cars is six times that one replica.

The official GTA 6 site covers pre-orders, editions and trailers, but says nothing about real cars or West Coast Customs. Only Rockstar or Selfridges can clarify whether the Cheetah is for sale or just on display, and neither has.
The next clue comes with the launch of GTA 6 on November 19, 2026. Until then, don't pay anything for a Cheetah without checking with the store.
