West Coast Customs Built Six GTA 6 Cars in Real Life—and Drove Them Around Miami

Somebody at Rockstar looked at six GTA 6 cars and decided screenshots weren’t enough. West Coast Customs built real, drivable versions of them, and the cars have been photographed together in Miami. This may be the most expensive way possible to say “the game is almost here.”

Which GTA 6 cars did they build?

The six-car lineup is:

• Grotti Cheetah: a blue-and-pink ’90s-style supercar.
• Pegassi Tempesta: a supercar wearing Vice Beach police colors.
• Progen Emerus: an orange, track-focused hypercar.
• Invetero Coquette: a pink camouflage sports car.
• Albany Buccaneer: a green lowrider with gold wheels.
• Albany Manana: a turquoise donk riding on enormous gold wheels.

That is a wonderfully ridiculous group to see parked outside Miami Marine Stadium. The green Buccaneer looks ready for a slow cruise. The police Tempesta looks ready to ruin it.

These aren’t just cars with GTA decals

West Coast Customs says it partnered with Rockstar to bring the game’s custom vehicles into the real world. According to the project details reported by Complex, the builds involved metal fabrication, composite parts, custom wheels and individual paint finishes. The cars were also driven around Miami for promotional photos, wearing Leonida plates and Vice City details.

The best part is comparing the real builds with their in-game counterparts. A few of the paired photos make you pause to work out which one is the screenshot. Hypebeast’s gallery has all six comparisons.

My pick? The Buccaneer

The supercars will get the attention, but I’d take the green Buccaneer. GTA has always been at its best when a car has far too much personality, and a lowrider with gold wheels and a zebra-print interior absolutely understands the assignment.

West Coast Customs has done this dance with Rockstar before: it built a real Bravado Banshee for GTA 5 back in 2013. This time, instead of one car, we get a whole Vice City parking lot.

With GTA 6 set for November 19, the marketing has reached the point where the fictional traffic is showing up in actual Miami. I’m fine with this. I just want to see that police Tempesta pull over the Manana.
