GTA uses parody brands, so Rockstar hasn’t said which real cars each replica is built on. Fans have matched them from the footage.

Where they came from

Reported Several reports credited West Coast Customs at the time, but neither the shop nor Rockstar confirmed it. It wouldn’t be the first time: West Coast Customs built a real Bravado Banshee for Rockstar in 2013, for GTA V.

The cars are part of a Miami campaign that also includes the county’s $3.9 million deal and the Heat’s Vice City night. In the game itself, stealing the best cars takes more than a button press: how car theft works in GTA 6.
