The Grotti Cheetah Classic is a sports car appearing in Grand Theft Auto Online and due to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI.
Description[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The vehicle was included as part of the Gunrunning update, but released on July 11th, 2017, during the Cheetah Classic Week event.
Grand Theft Auto VI[]
The car appears on a busy road in Vice Beach in the game's first trailer (0:33). The vehicle appears to have undergone some design changes, with changes to the body proportions and rear fascia and a new, higher quality interior. The car now features a unique chrome badge on the rear.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The car's design heavily resembles the Ferrari Testarossa with the frontal elements taken from the Ferrari 328. The front bumper is inspired by the one found on the BMW M1, while the pop-up headlights are taken from the Alpine A610. The sides of the car heavily resemble the Ferrari FZ93. The triple tail light set up is reminiscent of the Ferrari 365 GT4 BB, whereas the rear bumper and the exhausts are similar to the Ferrari 288 GTO. The engine cover might have been inspired by the Ferrari 512S Berlinetta Speciale, seen it the shape and the vents of the cover. Additionally, the door handles are identical to the ones found on the Ferrari 348.
The Cheetah Classic is the older generation of the Cheetah, intended to resemble the 3D Universe renditions of the aforementioned car, given the compact and lightweight design. The front bumper of the car is predominated by the small bottom extender and a thin intake spanning most of the car's width, both of them having a plastic trim, along with a central license plate. The bumper area consists of a rectangular meshed grille and a set of square fog lamps, with the latter having black trim around them. On the bonnet area, there is the Grotti emblem on the centre and two pop-up headlamps on the outer edges, each one consisting of dual square lamps. On the bonnet itself, a vent is found by stock, appearing as a rather large grated metal plate laid across the bonnet with a plastic surrounding. Directly behind it there is the radiator heat vent, which would allow hot air to exit the vehicle.
Its interior is very similar to that of the Turismo Classic, featuring white stitched trim around the console's dial cluster and a "GROTTI" mark on the passenger side. However, the central console appears to be wider and the seam for the glove compartment is absent. The central section also has fewer components beside the gear stick.
The primary colour of the car is applied on the bodywork, while the secondary colour is applied in the form of a wide stripe passing through the front, the bonnet and the roof. Similar to the Turismo Classic, a trim colour is also available for the interior. It uses a unique set of six-spoke rims wrapped in low-profile tyres.
Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
As expected, the Cheetah Classic is one of the best of its class, being on par with the Turismo Classic. It is safe to say in most Sports Classics races, one can choose between these two vehicles on their personal preference. As the Turismo Classic's biggest competition, the car also sports a V12 engine, outputting considerable amount of power at the rear wheels. Opposed to vehicles like the Infernus Classic, the Cheetah Classic has better traction, thereby reducing the likelihood of spinning out in corners, even in the inexperienced's hands. The braking also performs well, giving the driver enough window to react to a sudden event or turning before a catastrophic crash. All in all, the Cheetah Classic is not only good for casual driving, but also ideal for professional race tracks.
Its engine sound is rather unique, appearing to be a lower-pitched variation of the one used in the Stinger and Stinger GT, but with additional engine notes that are more noticeable on higher revs.

Oversights[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- The design of the stock hood/bonnet seems to be an oversight. The grille on the bonnet would be designed to allow warm air from the radiator to escape from the vehicle (where it would enter via the bumper grille), but the design of the grille on the Cheetah Classic is much more like an intake. Given the fact the vehicle lacks an initial air-conditioning grille in front of the window, it could serve purpose for the aircon system, assuming the car utilises one, while the metal grille positioned in front of this intake would act as a cooling unit for air to be released from.
- The lamps located in the bumper are non-functional.
Radio Stations[]
- In Grand Theft Auto Online, the default radio stations are grouped by genre. The Cheetah Classic uses the "Pop" group which can play:

Trivia[]
- Based on Rockstar Newswire's description, the Cheetah Classic "has been setting trends and breaking records ever since it rolled off the production line three decades ago", suggesting it was one of the fastest cars around the 80s.
- This description also has a small anachronistic inconsistency, as the modern variant of the Cheetah was manufactured in the 1970s, meaning that the Cheetah Classic was manufactured after the standard variant.
- Through customization options in GTA Online, it is possible to make the Cheetah Classic's hood look identical to that of the original Ferrari Testarossa and the 3D Universe Cheetah.
