The Declasse Tulip M-100 is a two-door muscle car manufactured by Declasse set to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI. It was first introduced in Grand Theft Auto Online and is a distinct model from the original four-door Declasse Tulip.
The Declasse Tulip M-100 was first introduced to the series as part of the Los Santos Drug Wars update for Grand Theft Auto Online. It is presented as a classic muscle car with a simple, blocky design reminiscent of its era. The "M-100" designation is a direct reference to the M80 sport package that was offered with its real-life counterpart, the 1980 Chevrolet Malibu Coupe1. The vehicle has been confirmed for Grand Theft Auto VI after being spotted in the game's first official trailer.
The Tulip M-100 takes clear inspiration from the 1980 Chevrolet Malibu Coupe2, presenting a straightforward yet aggressive muscle car aesthetic with a stance reminiscent of drag racing builds. Its front fascia features a broad bumper, a rectangular grille stamped with "DECLASSE" badging, and quad headlamps. Along the sides, the car displays modestly flared wheel arches, black plastic trim, and a simple greenhouse with thin pillars. At the rear, a slightly slanted trunk lid is paired with rectangular tail lamps.
While its main profile draws directly from the Malibu, certain details borrow from other late-1970s and early-1980s American models. The grille shows cues from the 1975 and 1979 Chevrolet Impala3, while the tail lamps, though Malibu-shaped, follow a layout similar to the 1981–1982 Mercury Cougar4. In GTA Online, the Tulip M-100 shares its interior and dial cluster with the Declasse Faction.
In Grand Theft Auto Online, the Tulip M-100 is powered by a V8 engine topped with a rectangular air filter, utilizing a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration paired with a 3-speed gearbox. Its engine note is a blend of sounds taken from the Vapid Dominator and the Vapid Imperator. Specific performance details for its appearance in Grand Theft Auto VI have not yet been confirmed.
When it is fully upgraded in GTA Online, it can reach a max speed of 187.89 km/h (116.75 mph). Similar speed performance is expected in Grand Theft Auto VI.
In Grand Theft Auto Online, the Tulip M-100 offers a wide selection of customization options, including multiple liveries inspired by real-world designs:
Additional customization options include unique hood designs such as the "Ram Air Dam" and "Supercharger Cutout," though applying these prevents the hood from opening. The extent of customization available in Grand Theft Auto VI
In Grand Theft Auto VI, the Tulip M-100 has been seen in traffic. In the first trailer, it can be spotted turning right on a street in Vice Beach, surrounded by other vehicles including a Declasse Granger 3600LX, a Nagasaki Carbon RS, and an Enus Jubilee. Details on how to purchase or acquire it in the game are not yet available.
The Declasse Tulip M-100 was added to Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Los Santos Drug Wars update. It can be purchased from the Southern San Andreas Super Autos website for $1,658,000. The vehicle is also included as part of the regular traffic pool in the Expanded and Enhanced editions of Grand Theft Auto V for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
By default, the Tulip M-100 is tuned to stations within the "Rock" category, which may include Los Santos Rock Radio, Radio Mirror Park, and Kult FM.
