A real-life Grotti Cheetah is on sale at London’s luxury department store Selfridges for £1 million.
London luxury department store Selfridges is currently hosting a special GTA 6 promotion, complete with themed decorations and merchandise. But alongside clothing and other fan collectibles, there’s something far more unusual on display: the world’s only real-life Grotti Cheetah.
The Grotti Cheetah is a fictional sports car from the Grand Theft Auto series, with Grotti essentially serving as Rockstar’s take on Ferrari. To celebrate the release of GTA 6 (available for pre-order on Amazon), Rockstar has teamed up with West Coast Customs to bring the car to life. According to Insider Gaming, the project is based on a Ferrari Testarossa that was extensively modified to resemble its in-game counterpart. The one-of-a-kind vehicle is now on sale at London’s luxury department store Selfridges as part of the “Visit Vice City at The Corner Shop” promotion. The asking price is a staggering £1 million, equivalent to roughly $1.3 million.
The Cheetah sports GTA 6’s signature blue and pink color scheme. Its front end features the Grotti emblem, which humorously replaces Ferrari’s prancing horse with a rearing rabbit. The GTA GFX account on X has already shared two posts showing the world’s only real-life Grotti Cheetah – one featuring a photo and the other a video. The first images from the Selfridges display are also circulating on Reddit.
According to Hypebeast, the Cheetah is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.9-liter V8 engine. Whether the sports car will be road-legal remains unclear. Given the hefty price tag, demand is unlikely to be overwhelming. Still, perhaps a wealthy GTA enthusiast will be tempted to add the one-of-a-kind vehicle to their collection. If not, the Cheetah should at least attract plenty of curious onlookers at Selfridges. And for anyone who can’t afford the real thing, there’s some consolation: in just a few days, they’ll be able to get behind the wheel of a Grotti Cheetah in GTA 6 – even if it’s only in the virtual streets of Vice City.

As a child in the 90s, my Gameboy was my steady companion. After school, the PlayStation was fired up. When I finally got my first PC, I was completely hooked. My passion for gaming has never waned since. For me, writing for Notebookcheck means reporting on topics that are really close to my heart – in addition to gaming, I also like to write about e-mobility, photovoltaics and innovative gadgets. When I’m not sitting at my computer, I’m probably on water rescue duty on the Baltic coast or trying to counteract the downsides of my geek life – namely sitting for long periods – at the local swimming pool.
