Overview
The Gauntlet is a Grand Theft Auto muscle modelled on the Dodge Challenger. Rockstar has not shown or named the Gauntlet for GTA 6, so everything below is drawn from its real-world basis and its history across the series — not from confirmed GTA 6 detail.
History in the GTA Series
The Gauntlet debuted in GTA V (2013) as a mission-critical vehicle — Trevor, Michael, and Franklin each had to steal a Gauntlet for the Union Depository heist in "The Big Score." That mission seared it into players' memories: three identical silver Gauntlets rolling into a parking garage became one of GTA V's most iconic setup sequences. In GTA Online, the Gauntlet received multiple variants — the Gauntlet Classic (a stunning 1970 Challenger homage), the Gauntlet Hellfire (a drag strip monster with a supercharged V8), and the Gauntlet Classic Custom (with Benny's lowrider-style mods). The Hellfire variant, priced at an unconfirmed amount became a competitive drag racer while the Classic became a beloved cruiser. The Gauntlet name has appeared in more missions, heists, and spontaneous police chases than perhaps any other muscle car in the franchise.
What We Actually Know About It in GTA 6
Rockstar has not shown or named the Gauntlet for GTA 6. It dates to the HD-era games (from GTA V (2013)), so something like it is plausible, though nothing about a GTA 6 version is official. There is no confirmed top speed, acceleration, handling rating, price, spawn location or customization list for the Gauntlet in GTA 6 — the in-game economy and traffic spawns have not been shown at that level of detail. As a muscle you can reasonably expect big straight-line punch and loose, tail-happy handling; past GTA games let you find vehicles like this in traffic, buy them from in-game websites, or earn them through missions, and we expect something similar. Once the game is out we will replace this with verified detail — until then, any exact mph figure, dollar price, street location or upgrade menu quoted for it is invented.
