Paragon R

Grand Theft Auto VI promotional material shows a black Paragon R travelling at night on an Ocean Drive-like street in Vice Beach. The appearance is part of the Rockstar Games website’s scroll-activated Jason and Lucia sequence, rather than a dated trailer shot.

The same promotional website shows the car twice more in the background of images assigned to its Vice City area. The vehicle in the night sequence carries a plate resembling the modern Arizona, United States plate design. These sightings establish its presence in the Vice City region, but do not confirm GTA VI pricing, upgrades, performance figures, or an in-game variant.

Its principal real-world basis is the third-generation Bentley Continental GT. The broad two-door grand-tourer proportions and overall styling follow that Bentley most closely.

Several features draw from other cars. The front bumper appears to take cues from the F80 BMW M3 and F82/F83 BMW M4, while the lamps resemble those of contemporary Porsche models, including the 991. The rear lights and the chrome strip across the back may reference the Lagonda Taraf. The Paragon R’s large coupé form also resembles the in-game Enus Cognoscenti Cabrio.

Before its GTA VI sightings, the Paragon R appeared in Grand Theft Auto Online through The Diamond Casino & Resort update. Legendary Motorsport sold it for $905,000. It was later removed from that retailer during the San Andreas Mercenaries update, then restored with the Money Fronts update.

The car has also been available through several Online activities. It is among the possible Exotic Exports requests issued by Brucie Kibbutz and can be selected for customer work at an Auto Shop. During Weevil Week, it was offered as a Casino Lucky Wheel prize. Players reaching Tier 4 of The Diamond Casino and Resort Career Progress after the San Andreas Mercenaries update received it as an award.

The Paragon R uses a mesh grille framed in chrome, paired circular lamp elements, a shaped bonnet, and several lower front-air openings. Its flanks have pronounced wheel-arch creases, vents behind the front wheels, broader rear arches, low side skirts, and dark trim around the glass. At the rear, ENUS lettering sits on a chrome bar between the lamps, above the badge and plate recess; two exhaust outlets occupy the lower bumper.

Body paint is the primary colour, while the mirror housings and interior stitching use the secondary selection. A separate trim setting covers parts of the dashboard, steering wheel, doors, seats, and roll-cage padding when that option is fitted. Its exclusive wheels are bolt-ringed, split five-spoke designs on low-profile tyres. The cabin is called New Muscle White: it shares many Specter interior elements, but has a flatter dashboard and a more rectangular glovebox area. Its gauge cluster also derives from the Specter’s, with an analogue speedometer on the left and a central digital display. An early limitation that fixed cabin trim to black was corrected in The Diamond Casino Heist update.

The engine is not identified conclusively, though its cam covers have six carbon-fibre protrusions on each side, suggesting an imitation of the Continental GT’s W12. Power reaches all four wheels evenly through an eight-speed gearbox. Its engine audio resembles that used by the Enus Windsor and the related four-door convertible model. In Sports-class use, it is described as fast and composed when threading through traffic, with upgrades improving its competitiveness.

A gearbox issue affects the standard car and the armoured Paragon R, as well as the Toros and Brutus. Although the Paragon R begins with eight gears, a transmission upgrade adds a ninth. Once it reaches that final ratio, automatic downshifting can fail; after stopping, acceleration may be impaired unless reverse is selected manually. The vehicle also plays a start-up chime audible from the first-person view.
