Trailer 1: Shore Drive
The orange Gauntlet Hellfire drives along Shore Drive in Vice Beach, with part of its broad coupe body seen alongside other traffic. The scene also contains a Pfister Comet S2 Cabrio, a separate car.
Key takeaways
- An orange Gauntlet Hellfire drives along Shore Drive in GTA 6 Trailer 1 at 0:32, with a racing appearance in An Extended Look at 17:43.
- The Hellfire’s drag-oriented stance draws most strongly on the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, not simply the regular Hellcat.
- The police Gauntlet Interceptor is a different model, and the racing appearance alone does not identify GTA Online’s separately sold Hotring Hellfire.
- GTA 6 top speed, price, purchase availability and spawn locations: At launch.
Where the Hellfire Appears in GTA 6
An orange road car, a passenger hanging out of a window and a livery-covered race car give three different views of the Hellfire.
August 27, 2026 | 17:43
An Extended Look: racing appearance
A Gauntlet Hellfire appears as a racing car. Its motorsport presentation is distinct from the orange road car, but the view does not establish a new engine, performance package or which GTA Online racing variant might carry over.
Trailer 2 · 1:50
Passenger leaning out
The orange coupe is visible from alongside as its passenger leans out of the window. Its broad rear quarter and muscle-car roofline stand out in profile.
What We Can See
The recognizable Hellfire body carries over from GTA Online. In Trailer 1, its bright orange paint and broad coupe profile make it stand out, while the later racing appearance changes the setting and presentation without proving a mechanical redesign.
GTA Online frame
The GTA Online Hellfire is a wide, two-door muscle coupe with a drag-car stance and strong rear-wheel-drive character. Its road-going shape is separate from the GTA Online Hotring racer and police Interceptor.
GTA 6 frame
The orange Shore Drive coupe keeps the familiar broad muscle-car shape. At 17:43 in An Extended Look, a racing Hellfire is shown, but those images do not prove a specific new wing, bumper, tire compound or handling upgrade for the road car.
Which Gauntlet Is in GTA 6?
Several Gauntlet models share Challenger-inspired styling, but they are not interchangeable. The Hellfire, classic builds, Hotring racer and police Interceptor occupy different places in the family.
| Gauntlet model | What it is | First in | GTA 6 status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gauntlet | Original modern Challenger-style muscle car | GTA 5, 2013 | Not shown |
| Redwood Gauntlet | Racing-livery version of the original Gauntlet | GTA 5 | Not shown |
| Gauntlet Classic | 1970 Challenger-inspired coupe | GTA Online | Not shown |
| Gauntlet Hellfire | 2018 Challenger SRT Demon-inspired muscle car | GTA Online, September 2019 | Trailer 1 road car and An Extended Look racing car |
| Gauntlet Classic Custom | Customized 1970 Challenger-inspired car | GTA Online, Los Santos Summer Special | Seen in Trailer 1 |
| Hotring Hellfire | Stock-car racing Hellfire, GTA Online price $1,810,000 | GTA Online, 2023 | Not separately identified as the GTA Online Hotring model |
| Gauntlet Interceptor | Police-spec Hellfire sold by Warstock | GTA Online, March 2024 | Seen in An Extended Look, separate police car |
The Hotring Hellfire is a dedicated GTA Online stock car priced at $1,810,000, not the $745,000 road-going Hellfire. Although a racing Hellfire appears at 17:43, that does not by itself establish the presence of the separately named, purchasable GTA Online Hotring model in GTA 6.
The Interceptor’s emergency equipment and police purpose mark it as a distinct vehicle. The GTA Online Drift Tune is a modification to the regular Hellfire, not another confirmed nameplate in the GTA 6 Gauntlet family.
The Real Car Behind the Hellfire
The Gauntlet Hellfire is chiefly inspired by the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, the drag-strip specialist rather than the regular Challenger SRT Hellcat. Its particularly wide drag-ready stance is the telling detail.
The real Demon wore drag radials designed for hard launches, unlike the conventional road tires of the Hellcat Widebody. The Hellfire also mixes smaller styling cues associated with the Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang, but the Demon best explains its look and GTA Online wheelie reputation.
9.65 seconds | NHRA-certified quarter mile
2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon
Dodge quoted 840 hp with high-octane fuel, 0 to 60 mph in 2.3 seconds and a 9.65-second quarter mile at 140 mph. The 140 mph figure is the speed at the quarter-mile finish, not a maximum-speed claim.
Dodge received a Guinness World Records certification for the Demon lifting its front wheels off the ground at launch, a strong link to the wheelies players know from the GTA Online Hellfire. The Demon’s quarter-mile result is a manufacturer-reported real-world run, not a GTA speed test.
Dodge planned 3,000 Demons for the United States and 300 for Canada. The headline 840 hp requires the specified high-octane setup, while the standard premium-fuel rating was 808 hp. Bravado is fictional, so the Demon is a styling influence rather than a licensed Dodge car.
Hellfire in GTA 5 and GTA Online
The GTA Online Hellfire delivers loud, straight-line muscle for $745,000. It can lift its front wheels and run to 125.00 mph fully upgraded, but the handling trade-off becomes obvious when the road starts bending.

In GTA Online, the Hellfire’s fully upgraded 125.00 mph test is strong for a Muscle car, while its 1:09.019 lap shows a greater penalty in the corners. At $745,000 from Southern San Andreas Super Autos it is attractive for wheelies and highway acceleration rather than for chasing the cleanest circuit lap.
A GTA Online Drift Tune changes the car’s role and handling, but it is not an HSW upgrade. The Missile Lock-On Jammer is another GTA Online feature. Neither is part of the confirmed GTA 6 specification simply because the same model appears in the trailers.
How Fast Is the Hellfire in GTA 6?
GTA 6 Hellfire top speed: At launch. The fully upgraded GTA Online car tests at 125.00 mph. Dodge’s real Demon launch material instead supplies an NHRA-certified quarter-mile time, not a directly comparable maximum-speed number.

Dodge’s quarter-mile run covered the distance in 9.65 seconds at 140 mph. That 140 mph trap speed is not the vehicle’s top speed, so it does not belong beside the GTA maximum-speed values.
The GTA Online 1:09.019 lap fits a car that rewards straight-line power more than cornering finesse. The fastest-cars guide keeps the GTA Online test separate from the Hellfire’s unknown GTA 6 top speed.
