Cheetah

Overview

The Cheetah is a supercar in GTA Vice City and one of the game's most iconic cars, perfectly suited to the 1980s Miami-inspired setting.

Design

It is modeled on the Ferrari Testarossa, with long side strakes across the doors, a wide, flat rear and a low nose. A police version, the VCPD Cheetah, also exists.

Performance

It accelerates quickly and has one of the highest top speeds in the game. Rear-wheel drive and a light body make it agile, though it can oversteer when the throttle is applied hard in a corner.

Where to find

Cheetahs appear around the wealthier parts of the city, such as Vice Point and Starfish Island, and the VCPD Cheetah is used by police in pursuits.

Tips

• One of the best cars for Vice Street Racer races and checkpoint challenges.
• Store one in a safehouse garage so it is always available.
• Feather the throttle out of corners to avoid spinning.
