The Bullet is a supercar featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, The Ballad of Gay Tony, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. It is known as Bullet GT in The Ballad of Gay Tony and is manufactured by Vapid in the HD Universe.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
The Bullet's design closely resembles a 2005-2006 Ford GT, judging by the overall design, rear side intakes and rear fascia, although it has circular headlights and a standard hood. It should be noted that the Ford GT was not introduced until 2002, ten years after the game takes place, but the original Ford GT40 model was manufactured from 1964 to 1969. The GT40 was used as a racecar in the 1960s, but bears less resemblance to the Bullet.
The Bullet may spawn with a variety of body colors and a central stripe running through the whole car, which alternates between white and light grey.
The Ballad of Gay Tony[]
Named Bullet GT in The Ballad of Gay Tony, the car shares similar design cues with the Ford GT, such as the waterfall hood scoop and body shape. Unlike the GT40 and GT, the Bullet GT does not feature a rear-hinged rear body section. The lower air ducts on the side of the car and louvers over the rear windscreen are similar to those featured on the Lamborghini Miura concept. In addition to this, the positioning of the exhaust tips is similar to that of the Miura Concept. Plus, the tail lights have a similar appearance to the 1999-2002 R34 Nissan Skyline.
The Bullet GT assumes a similar design to its previous iteration, but incorporates CFRP elements around it. The front end is dominated by the carbon-fiber splitter spanning the width of the car and canards on the front quarters, as well as a central intake finished in carbon-fiber and two circular vents. Its headlights are located in carbon-fiber housings and protected by glass casings, while the hood features a central intake and two ducts. A fuel cap can be seen on the driver side, just in front of the windshield.
On the sides, the car uses side marker lights on the front and dual intakes on the rear. The greenhouse area is relatively simple, with a curved windshield, black window trim and rear louvers.
On the rear, the car features side vents on the engine compartment, a small curved lip and a carbon-fiber rear panel housing the circular tail lights and license plate. The lower area is mostly occupied by a carbon-fiber diffuser, featuring a thin vent and the dual exhaust pipes on the middle area.
The plush interior is derived from the Grotti Turismo and features sport bucket seats finished in tan leather. A carbon-fiber wall separates the interior from the engine bay area.
The Bullet GT can appear in two variants. The first one has rear louvers painted in the car's primary color, while the second variant has the louvers painted black and they cannot be resprayed in Pay 'n' Spray.
Color distribution is different from the GTA San Andreas rendition, with the secondary color being applied in the form of lower side stripes. It shares the same rim design with the Infernus, except it has grooves down the middle of each spoke.
While the car lacks badging indicating its manufacturer, police chatter identifies the car as a Vapid model.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
The Bullet returns in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online with an identical design to the TBoGT rendition, except for the silver lettering on the rear displaying its name and the lack of the "GT" nomenclature.
Color distribution is the same as in TBoGT, although the interior stitching matches with the primary color. It uses a set of five-spoke, blade-shaped rims, also shared with the Surge.

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
As the name implies, acceleration, speed, handling, and braking are among the best in the game. The Bullet is the third fastest car in GTA San Andreas, the first being the Infernus, and the second being the Turismo. Following the Bullet in speed is the Cheetah and Hotring Racer. Steering is very sharp and it has a fun, but still safe, oversteer. The car feels very lightweight and nimble. Acceleration is almost as good as the Infernus (which is the fastest car in San Andreas). Braking is excellent. The only real sacrifice is susceptibility to intense damage upon impact, especially at the excessive speeds the vehicle is capable of reaching. Even though it is able to reach almost the same speed as Infernus, it is more controllable. Because of this, sometimes it is better to use Bullet during races, as at high speed the Infernus may spin uncontrollably, while a Bullet will remain under control. The vehicle is mid-engine, and has a rear-drive layout. A closer look at the engine shows six injector trumpets, suggesting that the engine is actually a V6.
The Bullet is a supercar, but strangely it has the same engine sound as classic middle power cars like the Oceanic, the Tornado and the Glendale.

The Ballad of Gay Tony[]
The Bullet GT has a very high top speed. It is possibly one of the fastest cars in The Ballad of Gay Tony (single player), almost beating the Comet, but it still cannot beat out the Comet's sheer speed. This corners in a well-balanced manner, as a result of the low-profile tires and mid-engine layout. However, care must be taken while driving in the rain because of the high torque and rear wheel drive; the car will often lose traction and may over-steer. The Bullet GT is also fairly durable compared to other super cars.
The car is powered by what seems to be a twin-cam V8. Said engine model was, in fact, derived from the Turismo's; if the player looks closely, they will notice the engine cover displays a "Turismo" logo. Its engine sound is high-revving and loud, possibly being a variation of the engine sound used on most supercars. Similar to the Infernus, Buffalo, F620, Sultan RS, and Banshee, the Bullet GT is prone to backfire from its exhaust, either when changing gear or in the higher RPM ranges.

Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
The Bullet still handles fast, but it is the second slowest supercar in the game, only faster than the Voltic. The Bullet is more comparable to sports cars rather than supercars. Most of its acceleration and top speed properties have been carried over from TBoGT.
The engine is stated to be a 5.6L engine, and again the engine seems to be a DOHC V8 placed longitudinally, in a rear-mid engine, rear wheel drive layout. The vehicle appears to use two textures of twin-cam engine covers, indicating the use of quad cam (twin cam in the case of a V8 engine found here) technology. One of the special features of this vehicle is its unique modeled differential and gearbox located in the rear compartment. Its engine sound is similar to that of the Tornado.

The Ballad of Gay Tony[]
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
Special Variants[]
The Ballad of Gay Tony[]
- The mission No. 3 for Mori Kibbutz features a Bullet GT with a unique white-red paintjob which is driven by Luis Fernando Lopez. In order to get this unique version, the player has to abandon Mori and Brucie Kibbutz, park the car at the safehouse, and save the game.
- A Bullet GT with a unique lime green paint-job can be seen during This Ain't Checkers and the triathlon side-activities, mainly used for the final phase of the race. This Bullet GT, like other land cars in the triathlon, is boosted with Nitro.
Grand Theft Auto V[]
- An olive green Bullet will spawn behind Premium Deluxe Motorsport when the mission Repossession is available, next to a golden Schwartzer and a green first generation Baller. This Bullet can spawn with any pearlescent color from the car's regular traffic color sets, and therefore has a 1/6 chance to spawn with either the matte black or matte orange pearlescent color that cannot be obtained from Los Santos Customs normally.
Prominent Appearances in Gameplay[]
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
- Race Tournaments – The car is given to the player to use in two races: Into the Country and Country Endurance. Also, the player has to race against this car in Freeway.
The Ballad of Gay Tony[]
- This Ain't Checkers – Bullet GT is one of four cars that Luis can choose to continue the race after the boating part.
- No. 3 – Luis must go to a garage north of Middle Park where three cars are kept – a yellow Turismo (Mori's car), a blue F620 (Brucie's car) and a red and white Bullet GT (the player's car). The three line up and Mori takes the lead. The player, then, must follow Mori and weave in and out between streets and police cars (as the player gains a three-star wanted level, due to Mori tipping off the cops to make things 'interesting').
- Triathlons (side missions)
Grand Theft Auto V[]
- Repossession – An unique olive green Bullet is scripted to spawn behind Premium Deluxe Motorsport and can be used to complete the mission. The car has a chance to spawn with unique color combinations that cannot be replicated at mod shops.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- Simeon's Export Requests – This vehicle may be randomly requested for delivery by Simeon Yetarian.
Locations[]
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
- One is parked in a small alcove near the Solarin Industries in Doherty, San Fierro, next to a Police bribe.
- One is parked in the parking lot at Burger Shot in Juniper Hollow, San Fierro. The car constantly appears with a unique grey body and brown stripe and custom plate 'CHUNKY'.
- One is parked at the Driving School in Doherty, San Fierro after achieving at least silver medals in all the school tests. The car constantly appears with a light grey body.
- It is available at Easter Basin, San Fierro, for import after third list completion, for $84,000 on Saturday.
- It can be seen driven on The Strip, Las Venturas.
The Ballad of Gay Tony[]
- The player can spawn the Bullet GT via cheat code by dialing "227-555-9666" (CAR-555-ZOOM).
- Henrique Bardas can acquire one for the player after the mission No. 3.
- It seldom appears in traffic in Star Junction, when already driving one.
- It is a rather common vehicle in traffic in multiplayer.
Grand Theft Auto V[]
- Always spawns at Simeon's dealership at the beginning of the mission Repossession. This Bullet has a unique olive green paint-job, and can spawn with pearlescent paint, but this only applies to the Bullet that spawns when the mission actually starts – the Bullet parked behind the dealership before the mission has no pearlescent paint. If the player uses this Bullet to drive to Vespucci Beach, escape and drive it while trying to kill the bike rider, Bullets will start spawning more frequently around the more high end areas of Los Santos when the mission is passed.
- Sometimes found parked opposite of Sessanta Nove on Portola Drive in Rockford Hills.
- Seems to spawn when riding a Hexer.
- Spawns commonly when driving a Buccaneer.
- Seems to spawn while driving a Dubsta around the lower parts of Vinewood Hills, such as near Franklin's mansion.
- May spawn more commonly whilst driving an Infernus around Rockford Hills, particularly near Michael's mansion.
- Sometimes it is parked in the Kortz Center parking lot. Beware, as guards patrol the area.
- Sometimes spawns at the Limited Service station in Richman Glen.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- Available for purchase from Legendary Motorsport for $155,000.
- No longer available in the enhanced versions of the game; removed from the website as part of the San Andreas Mercenaries update.

Trivia[]
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
- Like in a handful of vehicles, the license plate on the Bullet does not show which city the plate is from.
- The Bullet parked in front of Burger Shot in San Fierro has the same license plate (CHUNKY) as the Elegant that CJ drives during the mission, Management Issues.
- In a beta screenshot, the Bullet is seen with a double stripe and a different hood, identical to that on the real Ford GT. The same screenshot is also portrayed in some renderings inside of Otto's Autos, a showroom in Downtown San Fierro.
- Certain Bullets in GTA San Andreas acquired through unconventional means may bear special vanity plates:
FUCK YOU(Easter Basin docks)TOO FAST(Easter Basin docks)CHUNKY(Burger Shot, San Fierro)EA SUCKS(Easter Basin docks)
The Ballad of Gay Tony[]
- During the mission, Sexy Time, look closely when Yusuf opens up his drawer for his wad of money for Luis. There is a magazine under the wad of cash which has a picture of a red beta Bullet in San Andreas.
- A Bullet GT is featured on the cover for Episodes from Liberty City, but with a different front end design. Along with the absence of the front splitter and canards, there is an upper grille section not featured in the final version of the vehicle, as well as a different central intake and thinner side stripes (that did not pass over the lower rear intakes).
- Similarly, one of the trailers depicts the special Bullet GT from the mission "No. 3", but the red stripes are much thinner than they are in the final version.
- When Luis calls Henrique Bardas requesting this car, Luis will only refer to it as "Bullet".
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
- The Bullet that appears in the Grand Theft Auto Online gameplay video has a similar paintjob to the Gulf Ford GT40 Paintjob that was used during Le Mans.
- According to Legendary Motorsport, the Bullet is based on a racing car in the 1960s. This is similar to how the Ford GT is based on the Ford GT40, a racing car.
- Prostitutes will only offer blowjobs in this car, presumably because the roof is too low for intercourse.
- What seems to be a placement error, when the gas cap is shot, gasoline will leak out above the cap.
- Although the car does not appear to have any engine statement, its badge texture features a 5.6 Litre badge, currently unused.
