Unnamed Vehicle Inspired by First-Generation Ford Mustang

An unnamed muscle car inspired by the first-generation Ford Mustang1 is set to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI. Based on an emblem seen on its fender, it is speculated to be a new version of the Vapid Dominator. This vehicle appears to be a separate model from the Grand Theft Auto Online Vapid Ellie, which is based on the same generation of Ford Mustang.

Overview

This vehicle is a new muscle car scheduled to debut in Grand Theft Auto VI. Its design lineage is strongly suggested to be part of the Vapid Dominator family, indicated by a double-checkered flag emblem on its front fender, which is a common feature on other Dominator models. It is presented as a distinct vehicle from the Vapid Ellie, another classic muscle car from Grand Theft Auto Online that also draws inspiration from the first-generation Ford Mustang.

Design and Appearance

The vehicle's design is heavily inspired by the first-generation Ford Mustang. As per its appearance in the first trailer, this influence is particularly evident in its front quarter glass, windshield, wheel rim, and front fender design. A key detail is the double-checkered flag emblem on the front fender2, which strongly suggests its identity as a Vapid Dominator model.

Acquisition / Locations

The car makes a brief appearance in the first GTA 6 trailer at the 0:27 mark. It can be seen at a car meet in the Stockyard neighborhood of Vice City.

Grand Theft Auto Online

This vehicle is confirmed for Grand Theft Auto VI and appears to be a new addition, separate from vehicles in Grand Theft Auto Online. It should not be confused with the Vapid Ellie, a different muscle car available in GTA Online that is also based on the first-generation Ford Mustang.
