West Coast Customs of Pimp My Ride Recreates GTA VI Cars in Real Life

West Coast Customs helped recreate Grand Theft Auto VI cars for a marketing campaign that brought them to the streets of Miami, the real-life inspiration for Vice City, Hypebeast reported.

The Los Angeles company, known for Pimp My Ride, painstakingly recreated the cars’ distinctive details. The results are difficult to distinguish from screenshots of the game.

One example is the Grotti Cheetah, a classic 1990s mid-engine supercar described as the “embodiment of the spirit of Miami.” West Coast Customs lowered the car, fitted it with track tires, gave it a “Vice City”-style paint job and finished the interior in Italian leather:

The GTA 6 Countdown account posted a video comparing Grand Theft Auto VI screenshots with the real-life cars. Some players find it hard to believe the cars are real.

Rockstar has shared new GTA 6 screenshots with Hypedrive on Instagram, showing the GTA 6 cars they brought to real life with West Coast Customs.

In case you’re confused, the top is real life, and the bottom is the game.
