Overview
The Itali RSX is GTA's modern Ferrari sports car — distinct from the Turismo R's hypercar positioning, the RSX represents the more accessible end of Ferrari's lineup. Based on the F8 Tributo and Roma, it's a mid-engine Italian exotic that delivers genuine supercar performance in a Sports class package. The Itali RSX was a surprise star in GTA Online, posting lap times that embarrassed cars costing twice as much. In GTA 6, it should return as the bridge between the Sports and Super classes.
QUICK SPECS
History in GTA
The Itali RSX appeared in GTA Online's Cayo Perico Heist (2020) update and immediately disrupted the Sports class. Based on the Ferrari F8 Tributo and Roma, it was technically classified as Sports but performed like a Super car. Its twin-turbo V8, mid-engine layout, and excellent aerodynamics made it the fastest Sports car in the game and competitive with many Super cars. The RSX proved that class designation didn't determine capability.
The Itali RSX in GTA 6
The GTA 6 Itali RSX should evolve with Ferrari's latest mid-engine sports cars — drawing from the 296 GTB's hybrid V6 or the F8 Tributo's twin-turbo V8. Expect sleek, flowing bodywork that's unmistakably Italian, with the compact mid-engine proportions that define modern Ferrari. Active aero, aggressive rear diffuser, and the signature Grotti (Ferrari) design language should make it one of the most desirable Sports cars in the game.
Performance & Handling
The Itali RSX should be the fastest Sports class car by top speed, potentially competitive with lower-tier Super cars. Its mid-engine layout provides excellent weight distribution and cornering grip. The twin-turbo V8 delivers strong acceleration throughout the rev range. If you can only afford one exotic car, the Itali RSX offers the best performance-per-dollar in the game.
Where to Find It
Available from exotic car dealerships. May also spawn in traffic near luxury locations — it's expensive but not rare enough to be exclusive to dealerships. Look for it in Vice Beach, Ocean Beach, and near high-end restaurants.
Customization
Ferrari-style customization options: Scuderia racing stripes, carbon fiber aero kits, Novitec-inspired body modifications, center-lock wheel options, racing exhaust systems, and potentially a Challenge Stradale track variant with even more aggressive aerodynamics.
