GTA VI custom cars built for real by West Coast Customs
West Coast Customs of Los Angeles recreated six of GTA VI's custom cars in real life, and the side-by-side shots with the in-game versions are out.
Somebody actually built a candy green lowrider Buccaneer. West Coast Customs of Los Angeles, hired by Rockstar Games, recreated some of the custom cars from Grand Theft Auto VI as real-life counterparts, and the results now sit next to the in-game versions in a set of comparison images.
There are six cars:
- Grotti Cheetah
- Albany Buccaneer
- Progen Emerus
- Invetero Coquette
- Albany Manana
- Pegassi Tempesta, as a police car
HypeDrive published the side-by-side images along with six separate in-game screenshots of the vehicles. Each real car also has its own backstory and real-world stats.
The Cheetah runs a 4.9L naturally aspirated V8 and wears a "Vice City fade" paint job.
The Buccaneer is a restored 1960s lowrider with a 7.5L V8, candy apple green paint and air-ride suspension. Of the six, this is the one I'd park in my garage first. Vice City has always been lowrider country in my head.
The Emerus gets a twin-turbo 4.0L V8 and candy orange paint.
The Coquette has a 6.2L naturally aspirated V8 and a pink and purple "Yeti Camo" livery, which is a combination I did not expect to type today.
The Manana is a 1970s classic with a 7.7L V8, finished in Vice City blue with gold trim.
Last is the Tempesta police car, with a 4.0L V10 and a Vice Beach Police Department livery. Chasing one of these in the game would be bad enough. Seeing it parked on a real street is stranger still.
What we don't know yet
West Coast Customs did not say which real cars served as the base for the replicas, so for now the fictional names are all we have to go on.
