The Grotti Carbonizzare is a two-door grand tourer from Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online that is due to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI. Its return was first spotted in the first trailer, where a red example sits parked along an Ocean Drive-inspired street in Vice Beach.

Trailer Evidence in Vice Beach

At 0:31 of Grand Theft Auto VI’s first trailer, the Carbonizzare is shown in Vice Beach, in the Vice City region. This remains the specific confirmed GTA VI appearance shown in promotional footage.

The returning model keeps most of the form seen in Grand Theft Auto V and Online. Its GTA VI version has higher-resolution taillight detailing and a slightly thicker, more conventional connection between the rear fender and each taillight.

Aston Martin and Ferrari Cues

The Carbonizzare is chiefly based on the Aston Martin V12 Zagato. Its roof mechanism, however, takes its cue from the Ferrari California: the V12 Zagato itself does not have a folding roof, while the Carbonizzare uses a retractable hardtop arrangement.

The California also influenced the rear-window profile and the mirrors. The circular rear lamps draw from the Ferrari F430, while the rear diffuser has similarities to the Ferrari 458. Its headlamps, bumper intakes, and integrated LED running-light treatment were also derived from a real-world design, although the named comparison is not identified.

Grand Tourer Design Details

Grotti manufactures the Carbonizzare, a two-door grand tourer placed in the Sports class in Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online. The earlier version combines a modern sports-car shape with LED strips around the headlamp area and front intakes.

Carbon-fibre trim appears on parts including the mirror housings, rear vents, and diffuser. Chrome Grotti lettering stretches across the trunk lid between two pairs of round brake lamps. Opening the bonnet exposes the engine compartment and an integrated strut brace.

Its cabin uses the Schafter Brown interior, based on the Schafter and Tailgater interior design but finished in tan. The Super Diamond also uses a tan cabin treatment. One primary paint slot controls the body colour and interior stitching, and its standard wheels resemble the Hypher high-end rims available at Los Santos Customs.

V and Online Availability

In Grand Theft Auto V, Carbonizzares could appear in traffic or parked around Galileo Observatory, Rockford Hills, and the Vinewood Racetrack area. A regular parked spawn was located on Marlowe Drive in Vinewood Hills. The vehicle also appeared outside Solomon Richards’s studio during Legal Trouble alongside a Rapid GT and Surano, and could be retained if taken from that sequence.

Several examples were present in the Kortz Center car park during The Wrap Up. GTA Online listed the car through Legendary Motorsport for $195,000 before it was removed from that site in the enhanced versions as part of the San Andreas Mercenaries update. It may also be selected for Simeon Yetarian’s Export Requests or Brucie Kibbutz’s Exotic Exports.

Mechanical Layout and Handling

The GTA V and Online Carbonizzare has a front-mounted, modelled twin-cam inline-four with a cylindrical air filter on its intake manifold. Its audio instead resembles a high-revving flat-plane V12. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed transmission.

Its acceleration and maximum speed were described as good for a Sports car, with handling balanced between understeer and oversteer. Understeer becomes stronger at speed, while collision damage can soon reduce performance. It was considered approachable for newer players but less competitive for skilled racing use.

An early screenshot lacked windscreen wipers. That image also used six-spoke wheels whose outer hubs remained visible because the wheels appeared inset too deeply or did not fit the body model correctly. “Carbonizzare” is Italian for “to carbonize,” and the vehicle is among the named cars used for distant traffic audio, alongside the Entity XF, Cheetah, Comet, Daemon, Banshee, Vacca, and Feltzer.
