The Invetero Coquette is a two-seat American sports car in Grand Theft Auto VIthe latest entry in a long-running series staple that dates back to Grand Theft Auto IV. The Coquette is the Invetero marque's flagship model, an in-universe parody of the Chevrolet Corvette built around an aggressive hardtop silhouette and rear-wheel-drive performance. Rockstar confirmed the nameplate's return in the game's second official trailer, released ahead of the November 19, 2026 launch.
Overview
The Coquette slots into the sports cars class and has historically filled the role of a mid-priced, daily-drivable coupe that sits one tier below the series' top-end supercars. It pairs a long front hood, short rear deck, and a fixed hardtop roof with a cabin positioned far back on the chassis, all hallmarks of its real-world Corvette inspiration. In previous entries the base Coquette has been a responsive, somewhat twitchy car at the limit, rewarding smooth throttle inputs on open highway and punishing overdriving through tight city streets.
Within Leonidathe Coquette is expected to be a natural fit for Vice Citywhose wide coastal boulevards, neon-lit strips, and open interstates reward the kind of point-to-point cruising the nameplate has always suited. Details on exact pricing, performance tuning, and upgrade options will be confirmed closer to release.
Appearance in Trailer 2
The Coquette was confirmed for Grand Theft Auto VI when it appeared in the second official trailer. In the trailer's highway sequence, a blue Coquette hardtop is visible driving just ahead of Jason Duval on an open multi-lane stretch, flanked by pickup trucks including a Bravado Bison and a Declasse Rancher. The hardtop coupe body style is the only Coquette variant spotted in trailer footage so far, with no convertible, classic, or BlackFin version yet seen in official material.
Vehicle spotters from pre-release coverage identified the car as a Coquette on the basis of its fastback roofline, wide rear haunches, quad-element taillight layout, and low front fascia, all carried over from the Grand Theft Auto V iteration. The cross-identification across multiple publications is the strongest pre-release confirmation of the model's inclusion.
Real-World Inspiration
Invetero is the in-game parody manufacturer for the Chevrolet Corvette lineup, and the Coquette is its flagship. The version shown in Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 shares its proportions and body detailing with the seventh-generation Chevrolet Corvette (C7), the same basis that Rockstar used for the standard Coquette in Grand Theft Auto V. The C7 generation ran from 2014 to 2019 in the real world and is best known in enthusiast circles for the Stingray trim.
The name Invetero is derived from a Latin verb meaning roughly "to prolong" or "to grow old," an in-joke that fits a brand Rockstar has built around a car line with multiple generations spanning decades. Across the series, Invetero has existed almost exclusively to sell Coquettes, with only occasional other models branded under the same marque.
Series History
The Coquette is one of the longest-running vehicles in the Grand Theft Auto series, first appearing in Grand Theft Auto IVthen expanding into a family of models across Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. The table below summarizes the known lineage that has led up to the GTA VI return.
Model | Debut Game | Real-World Basis |
|---|---|---|
Coquette (original) | Grand Theft Auto IV | Chevrolet Corvette C5 with Honda NSX front fascia cues |
Coquette (V-era) | Grand Theft Auto V | Chevrolet Corvette C7 with Camaro and Jaguar F-Type accents |
Coquette Classic | Grand Theft Auto V | Chevrolet Corvette C2 side profile with C3 detailing |
Coquette BlackFin | Grand Theft Auto Online | 1956-1962 Chevrolet Corvette C1, front and rear combined |
Coquette D5 | Grand Theft Auto Online | Chevrolet Corvette C6 |
Coquette D10 | Grand Theft Auto Online | Chevrolet Corvette C8 (mid-engine layout) |
The presence of so many parallel Coquette branches in the Grand Theft Auto Online garage leaves room for Rockstar to bring additional variants to Vice City over time, whether at launch or through post-release content. Only the C7-style hardtop has been officially shown to date.
Expected Role
Based on its placement in earlier games, the Coquette is expected to function as a mid-to-upper-tier purchasable sports car rather than a mission-critical or free-spawning commuter vehicle. Historically it has been found parked outside expensive residential areas, valet stands, car dealerships, and marinas, which maps well to the luxury districts shown in Vice City. It typically stands opposite the European-style supercars of the Pegassi and Grotti marques: cheaper to buy and modify, a little less sharp at maximum speed, but more forgiving across a broader range of driving scenarios.
Within the wider vehicles and combat sandbox, the Coquette should serve as a solid early-to-mid game upgrade target for players chasing a dedicated sports coupe without the cost and handling demands of a top-tier supercar. Its rear-wheel-drive layout historically allows controlled drifts on wide surfaces, which could suit both the dry pavement of downtown Vice City and the long causeways linking the region to other parts of Leonida.
Notes and Caveats
The Coquette's confirmation is based on its appearance in the second official Rockstar-released trailer. No leaked or unofficial footage is used as a source.
Only the hardtop coupe body style has been seen in trailer material. A convertible version has not been confirmed for GTA VI at this time.
Exact in-game stats, purchase price, upgrade paths, and customization options will be confirmed closer to the November 19, 2026 launch date.
Whether the naming convention follows the base Coquette label or adopts a newer suffix such as D1 or D12 has not been revealed by Rockstar.
