Bravado Gauntlet Classic

Bravado Gauntlet Classic is a muscle car set to return in Grand Theft Auto VI. It first appeared in GTA Online as part of the Diamond Casino & Resort update and is now confirmed for the new open world of Vice City and the state of Leonida. The vehicle was spotted in the first official trailer of GTA 6 speeding down a highway lined with palm trees and neon signs, as well as in several promotional screenshots.

#### Description and Design

The Gauntlet Classic combines aggressive lines, an elongated hood, and a short rear end, characteristic of classic American muscle cars. The front features a rectangular grille with vertical slats and round headlights framed by chrome bezels. The taillights are split by a chrome panel, and the exhaust system has dual pipes. Inside, leather seats with contrasting stitching, analog gauges, and chrome accents on the dashboard create a retro-futuristic aesthetic. The design is heavily inspired by muscle cars from the early 1970s.

#### Real-Life Prototype

The primary prototype for the Bravado Gauntlet Classic is the first-generation Dodge Challenger (1970-1974). The design also incorporates elements of the Plymouth Barracuda, especially in the rear pillar shape and body profile, along with some cues from the early Chevrolet Camaro. The influence of classic muscle car proportions and detailing is evident.

#### Characteristics and Handling

The Gauntlet Classic is classified as a Muscle car and is expected to deliver high power and acceleration. A large-displacement V8 engine provides quick bursts of speed, but handling can be challenging due to rear-wheel drive and soft suspension. Top speed is likely to be average for its class, while 0-60 mph acceleration will be around 4 seconds. Braking effectiveness may be limited at high speeds. In GTA 6, improved handling mechanics such as more realistic drifting and traction control are anticipated.

#### Tuning and Customization

As seen in GTA Online, the Gauntlet Classic will offer extensive tuning options in GTA 6. Expected categories include:

  • Visual modifications: body kits, hoods, side skirts, spoilers, rims in various styles, paint jobs (including classic 70s color schemes).

  • Performance: engine upgrades (enhanced V8s), turbocharging, exhaust systems, suspension (lowering, sports), transmission (automatic or manual).

  • Interior: steering wheels, seats, dashboard panels, additional gauges.

  • Other options: underglow neon, window tint, decals and vinyls.

    • Tuning can be performed at specialized garages like Benny's Original Motor Works (if present in GTA 6) or through standard dealerships.

    #### Appearance in GTA 6

    The Gauntlet Classic was seen in the first trailer of Grand Theft Auto 6 in highway traffic in Vice City and parked near a nightclub. It will likely be available for purchase at a dealership (e.g., Legendary Motorsport) or can be stolen from the streets. It may also be tied to a gang, such as a biker club or street racers. There is a possibility the car appears in a story mission where the player must steal or service it.

    #### Trivia

  • In GTA Online, the Gauntlet Classic cost $615,000. In GTA 6, the price may be adjusted based on the game's economy.
  • The name "Gauntlet" appears across multiple Bravado vehicles, indicating the manufacturer's tradition of producing powerful, affordable muscle cars.
  • In the trailer, the Gauntlet Classic is bright red, a nod to classic 1970s muscle car imagery.
