The rear end of the car appears to be a combination of both the GTA Spano and Cizeta V16T. It is based on the Enzo Ferrari with the front of the Enzo Ferrari, Ferrari FXX Evoluzione, Pagani Zonda R, and SSC Tuatara. The Cheetah, having been noticeably absent in the Grand Theft Auto IV era and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, was reintroduced in Grand Theft Auto V with a new appearance. The engine of the Cheetah in GTA San Andreas sounds and looks like a V10, contrary to the flat-12 engine used by the Testarossa.ĭuring one point of game development of GTA III, the Cheetah was known as the Rocket.
However, in GTA San Andreas, the design is more faithful to the real-life counterpart, with the engine being evidently placed at the rear of the chassis, while the front is empty this creates a rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. This is in stark contrast to the design of the Testarossa in general, which has the engine placed behind the passenger compartment, just in front of the rear axle (mid-engine). However, when the hood is removed, in GTA III and GTA Vice City, the engine appears to be at the front, possibly due to programming limitations. Looking at the shape of the car, it is clear to see that it is mid-engined. A hood scoop is also present on these renditions.
Being front-engined, it could be vaguely based on a Ferrari 550 Maranello as well.
In Grand Theft Auto III ( 2001) and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories ( 1998), the Cheetah looks like a slightly generic-ized and modernized F512 M with oval taillights and headlights strangely bearing some similarity to those of a fourth-generation Ford Mustang, except curved and without turn signals.
In all its iterations the vehicle closely resembles a Ferrari Testarossa, with each game's version following the design of the corresponding era:
