GTA 6 Itali GTO: A Rare Case of Real Series History
Most of GTA 6’s confirmed supercars only trace back a few years, to some GTA Online update or another. The Itali GTO is different. It’s a name that goes all the way back to the original top-down Grand Theft Auto games, decades before GTA Online existed. It also happens to be one of the very first cars visible in GTA 6’s first trailer, parked in the distance during the opening shot of Vice Beach.

Look closely at the Itali GTO’s body and something doesn’t match how the car actually works. Its rear end carries the kind of vented, sculpted styling normally used on rear-engine cars, where that shape helps air flow to an engine sitting behind the driver. The Itali GTO, though, keeps its engine up front. It’s a deliberate bit of styling over substance, borrowed from the real Ferrari it’s based on, rather than a functional necessity.
The Itali GTO is heavily based on the Ferrari 812 Superfast, one of Ferrari’s flagship front-engine grand tourers, known in real life for a naturally aspirated V12 and serious straight-line performance. In-game, the Itali GTO’s engine is built to emulate that same V12 character, paired with all-wheel drive and a six-speed gearbox. It’s a fitting match the 812 Superfast is exactly the kind of car this vehicle’s aggressive but composed shape suggests.
A little naming history is worth knowing here. The Itali GTO used to share its identity with a variant once called the “Itali GTO Stinger TT,” based on the Ferrari Roma. Rockstar renamed that car simply the Stinger TT in 2025, making it a fully separate vehicle rather than a GTO variant. Separately, there’s also an unrelated car called the Itali Classic, based on the Ferrari 308 GTS, which only shares the “Itali” name and nothing else. Neither of those cars is the same as the Itali GTO covered here, and neither has been confirmed for GTA 6.
Rockstar hasn’t released GTA 6 performance numbers for the Itali GTO. Its GTA Online version, though, has a real, independently tested record: a top speed of 128 mph, measured by Broughy1322, a widely trusted source for GTA Online vehicle testing. That puts it solidly among GTA Online’s faster grand tourers, even if it doesn’t top every chart in its class.
How much does the Itali GTO cost?
No GTA 6 price has been announced. In GTA Online, it costs $1,965,000 through Legendary Motorsport, a price that isn’t confirmed to carry over.
Where can you find the Itali GTO?
It’s shown parked in the distance during the very first shot of GTA 6’s first trailer, an establishing view of Vice Beach. No other location has been confirmed.
Can you buy the Itali GTO?
Not confirmed for GTA 6, though its long history as a dealership car in GTA Online makes that a reasonable expectation.
Is it connected to a mission or character?
No connection has been confirmed. Its only sighting so far is a background car in an opening establishing shot, not a scene involving a specific character.
Unlike several other Grotti supercars confirmed for GTA 6, the Itali GTO isn’t just a GTA Online invention. The name goes back to the series’ original top-down games, decades before the HD Universe or GTA Online existed. Its modern form arrived through the Arena War update in December 2018, but the name itself carries real weight across the franchise’s history — a rarer distinction than it might first seem.

Is the Itali GTO confirmed in GTA 6?
Yes. It appears in the very first trailer, visible in the distance during the opening establishing shot of Vice Beach at the 0:11 mark.
What is the Itali GTO based on?
Heavily the Ferrari 812 Superfast, with an engine built to emulate that car’s V12, though paired here with all-wheel drive rather than the real Ferrari’s rear-wheel setup.
Has the Itali GTO appeared in GTA before?
Yes, extensively. The name dates back to the original top-down GTA games, and its modern version was added to GTA Online in December 2018 through the Arena War update.
How much does the Itali GTO cost in GTA 6?
Unknown. It costs $1,965,000 in GTA Online, but Rockstar hasn’t shared a GTA 6 price.
Is the Itali GTO the same as the Stinger TT?
No. The Stinger TT was once called the “Itali GTO Stinger TT,” but Rockstar renamed it as a fully separate vehicle in 2025, based on the Ferrari Roma rather than the 812 Superfast.
Is the Itali Classic related to the Itali GTO?
No. They only share part of a name. The Itali Classic is based on the Ferrari 308 GTS and is a completely different vehicle with its own separate history.
How fast is the Itali GTO?
Its GTA Online version has a tested top speed of 128 mph. No GTA 6-specific performance numbers have been released yet.
The Itali GTO stands out among GTA 6’s confirmed supercars for a simple reason: it actually has history, not just a GTA Online debut date. Its Ferrari 812 Superfast styling, oddly placed rear vents, and background cameo in the trailer’s opening shot all add up to a car with more depth than its brief screen time suggests. What’s missing, as usual, is anything about how it’ll actually perform or cost once GTA 6 launches.
