Gauntlet Hellfire

The Gauntlet Hellfire appears in Vice City in both GTA VI trailers. At 0:31 in the first trailer, an orange example is seen from behind while travelling on a road modelled on Ocean Drive in Vice Beach. At 0:45, the same trailer shows a purple car parked by an intersection in Crosstown, with its passenger-side door open.

At 1:50 in the second trailer, Jason Duval fires a pistol from the passenger window of an orange Gauntlet Hellfire. These appearances confirm the Bravado muscle car in the Vice City region; the footage does not establish GTA VI prices, tuning options, or performance specifications.

The GTA Online Gauntlet Hellfire chiefly draws from the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, LA-generation. Its Hellfire name references the Challenger SRT Hellcat family, while the divided front grille takes cues from the 1970 Plymouth Barracuda. The location of the Gauntlet emblem resembles that used on 2008–2014 LC Challenger models.

Its hood carries an A/C marking modelled after an R/T performance badge. At the rear, the diffuser and bumper have influence from the sixth-generation Ford Mustang, S550. The tail-lamp outline follows the design used by the original Gauntlet, with the rear panel carrying raised Bravado lettering.

The Hellfire entered GTA Online on September 5, 2019, as part of the continuing Diamond Casino & Resort update, during Gauntlet Hellfire Week. It is a Bravado vehicle in the Muscle class and represents a newer, wide-bodied take on the standard Gauntlet rather than a separate body type.

Southern San Andreas Super Autos listed it for $745,000. Premium Deluxe Motorsport later offered it for test drives and sale at $770,080 during SM722 Week. It has also been available as a Lucky Wheel prize during Peyote Gasser Week and as an LS Car Meet Prize Ride Challenge reward during Powersurge Week.

The Online model has flared wheel arches, a low plastic front splitter, mesh intakes, round lamps in chrome surrounds, and a bonnet bulge cut away for the intake. A ducktail spoiler is standard. Hellfire script sits behind the front fenders, while black trim separates portions of the roof and surrounds the glasshouse.

Its paint channels divide the exterior and cabin details: the main colour covers the body and engine cam covers, while the secondary colour reaches the roof, pillars, mirrors, diffuser insert, and interior stitching. A separate trim shade affects the dashboard, door panels, and seats. The standard wheels resemble the Five Star rims available at Los Santos Customs, but use a smaller form with a fixed red ring and high-profile tyres.

The cabin largely reuses the Specter interior, under the name Muscle White, with altered door-card textures and a Bravado horn emblem. Choosing the Smooth Hood replaces the standard bulged intake with a chrome air filter. Online liveries include Redwood Stockcar, Raceway Hero, and Royal Tribute; the last takes its principal visual reference from Richard Petty’s 1973 STP-sponsored Dodge Charger number 43.

In GTA Online, the Hellfire uses a front-mounted single-cam V8, rear-wheel drive, and a five-speed transmission. It shares its engine audio with the Tampa and Nightshade. It is among the quickest Muscle-class cars in a straight line, but its lower-speed handling is ordinary, its turning circle is limited, and it can slide, spin, or lose control after impacts at speed. Its braking matches the Gauntlet Classic.

This contrasts with the Dominator GTX, whose performance profile is described as the reverse of the Hellfire’s. The Hellfire has an eleventh Advanced Flag enabled, although its function is unidentified and appears to make little difference to how it performs.

A Hellfire is stolen from the Rockford Plaza valet area during The Diamond Casino Heist Security Intel preparation. It can be requested for Exotic Exports, and a heavily modified one may be selected as a Salvage Yard Robberies target. Moodymann owns a white example carrying the plate MOODYMAN. Earlier Tuner Exhaust and Race Exhaust upgrades misplaced extra exhaust effects to the left; later updates corrected this, but custom exhausts still lack a shaking animation, as on the Gauntlet Classic.
