  • Close-ups show the red interior, the taillights, the make and model badges and the licence plate.
  • Official images are collected in our gallery.

How to get it

  1. Buy the Ultimate Edition for $99.99, digital only.
  2. Or buy the Standard Edition and add the Ultimate Edition Upgrade, listed on Xbox at $20.
  3. Play the story. Rockstar says Ultimate items are uncovered chapter by chapter, and the Cheetah is tied to later missions.

Prices and deadlines are in our editions guide and preorder guide.

In GTA history
