Gauntlet

An American muscle car in a class by itself. Roll down the windows and scream in testosterone-filled rage as you gun the engine while stuck in traffic. DNA wipes easily off the leather seats.

The Gauntlet is a stylish muscle car prominently featured in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. Built by the in-game manufacturer Bravado, the Gauntlet draws inspiration from iconic real-world American muscle Cars such as the Dodge Challenger, offering players impressive speed and a classic design perfect for urban cruising and high-speed pursuits.

Design

The Gauntlet features a robust muscle car design, inspired by classic American automobiles. Its bold front fascia, wide fenders, and sculpted hood emphasize its powerful presence. The car’s aerodynamic lines and retro-inspired details maintain a vintage feel while ensuring it stands out in the bustling streets of Los Santos.

Performance

The Gauntlet is celebrated for its formidable acceleration and high top speed, making it a go-to choice for players seeking a high-performance muscle car. Its handling is well-balanced, although it remains true to its muscle car origins with a slightly tighter grip during high-speed maneuvers. It’s ideal for straight-line speed challenges and drag races.

Customization

At Los Santos Customs, players can extensively modify the Gauntlet, enhancing both its performance and appearance. Options include engine upgrades, turbo enhancements, and brake improvements to boost speed and control. On the visual side, players can choose from a variety of paint colors, liveries, and body kits, allowing for a uniquely personalized muscle car embodiment.
