Overview
The Z-Type is a Grand Theft Auto sports classic modelled on the Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic. Rockstar has not shown or named the Z-Type 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 Z-Type first appeared in GTA 2, returned in GTA V as a fully modeled luxury classic, and has been a fixture of GTA Online's high-end vehicle marketplace. Priced at an unconfirmed amount in GTA Online, it was one of the most expensive vehicles in the game and served as a status symbol for wealthy players. Despite its astronomical price, it was not particularly fast — the Z-Type was always about style over substance, a rolling piece of art rather than a performance machine.
The Z-Type first appeared in GTA 2 before making its most significant impact in GTA V, where it was faithfully recreated with period-accurate styling and appropriate performance characteristics. As one of the most expensive vehicles in GTA V's single-player mode, the Z-Type established itself as an end-game trophy purchase for completionist players. In GTA Online, the Z-Type maintained its prestige status despite being outperformed by virtually every modern vehicle in the game — its value was cultural rather than competitive, appreciated by connoisseurs who understood what it represented.
What We Actually Know About It in GTA 6
Rockstar has not shown or named the Z-Type for GTA 6. It dates to the HD-era games (from GTA V), so something like it is plausible, though nothing about a GTA 6 version is official. Rockstar has published no top speed, acceleration, handling rating, price, spawn location or customization list for the Z-Type in GTA 6 — the in-game economy and traffic spawns have not been shown at that level of detail. As a sports classic you can reasonably expect classic looks and character over outright lap times; 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.
