QUICK FACTS
Overview
The Nightshark is a Grand Theft Auto suv (armored) modelled on the armored off-road SUV (Pseudo / Knight XV) and built in-game by HVY. It has been part of the series since GTA Online (2016).
Its slab-armoured look references heavy armoured SUVs like the Knight XV.
History in the GTA Series
The Nightshark is an armoured HVY SUV from GTA Online's Import/Export update, known for heavy bulletproofing and optional armoured windows. It became a go-to survivability vehicle for free-roam in GTA Online.
The HVY Connection
Inside GTA's fiction the Nightshark carries the HVY badge. Rockstar's in-game manufacturers are parody brands of real-world marques — a way the series builds a recognisable car world without licensing real names — and the HVY stable is where this vehicle sits.
What We Actually Know About It in GTA 6
Rockstar has not shown or named the Nightshark for GTA 6. Given that it (or a close equivalent) has recurred across the series, it is reasonable to expect something like it to appear — but that is an expectation drawn from franchise history, not a confirmed fact.
