If you’ve ever wanted to own a Grand Theft Auto car in real life, now is your chance.
In partnership with West Coast Customs (remember Pimp My Ride?) for the anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto 6, Rockstar Games has brought the legendary Grotti Cheetah sports car into the real world. And you’ll only need about £1 million to pick it up. That’s about $1,344,250 in US dollars, by the way.
“Few cars epitomize GTA quite like the Grotti Cheetah,” said the car’s listing on the website for Selfridges, a UK-based retail chain that’s selling the one of a kind vehicle. “For the launch of GTA 6, Rockstar Games collaborated with West Coast Customs to bring an icon to The Corner Shop. Painted in Vice City’s signature pink and blue hues, this customized retro sports car is available to purchase for £1 million via Selfridges Personal Shopping.”
The listing then links to a contact page where only those with bank accounts way, way, WAY bigger than mine will be taken seriously when it comes to owning the one-of-one recreation.
I can’t even fathom what happens when it comes to buying something like this. Do they just take the first offer, or do they go for the best offer available? Why is it not going to auction? Either way, the car looks totally bad-ass with a sort of ombre of baby blue into hot pink, evoking Vice City’s aesthetic.
What say you, dear reader? Will you be picking up this car for your own garage (I’m assuming you own more than one vehicle, if so)? And if so, can I have a loan? GTA 6 finally launches next week, so I’ll be focusing my time there rather than a different kind of fantasyland where I could remotely entertain the idea of affording a car like this.
