Magenta 1980s coupe with the boot open
Name not confirmed
What the community calls it
Widely identified as the Declasse Tulip M100.
A community list puts a Declasse Tulip M100 one second after our frame, described by purple on the wheels and the body. That is the layout of this car. It is their identification and not ours. On 23 September 2026 a second source, GTA Wiki, was found to crop the same vehicle out of the same shot under the same name. That is what puts the name in this page's title, as their claim and not ours: two independent sources, one of them pointing at our own frame.
What supports it
- Purple on the wheels and the body is exactly how this car is finished: magenta paint with deep rims in the same tone.
- 0:28 falls inside the same continuous shot as our frame at 0:27.
- GTA Wiki crops the same car: magenta over deep rims in the same tone, at the same meet, with the boot lid down and decals on it that ours hides under the open lid.
What does not
- The source is at 0:28 and we are at 0:27, and in a moving shot a second is a different vehicle.
- The source says purple; this car is magenta.
- It does not mention what our crop shows most clearly: the boot standing open with equipment in it, and the 27 roundel on the rear side window.
- The same list puts a plain Tulip at 1:10, which we hang on another record. The two claims lean on each other.
- GTA Wiki spells it Tulip M-100 and the list spells it M100; that is one name with a different mark in it, not two claims, and it is the spelling of the GTA Online model.
Read on GTA-XTREME, September 18, 2026. They name this picture: “At 0:28, you can spot the Declasse Tulip M100 with purple on its wheels and body” -- one second after our trailer-1-t00-27_43, in the same continuous shot. The identification is theirs, not ours.
Read on GTA Wiki (gta.wiki), September 23, 2026. They name this picture: TulipM100-GTAVI-Trailer1.png, “The rear of a Tulip M-100 in the first trailer for GTA VI”: the magenta coupe on deep rims at the car meet, decals on the boot lid -- the same car as in our trailer-1-t00-27_43, a moment later with the boot lid down. The identification is theirs, not ours.
We have not confirmed this. Our confidence in the identification: low.
When the real name is confirmed, this page moves to that name and this address keeps working.

A magenta 1980s coupe at a street meet with its boot standing open and a 27 roundel on the rear side window, on a deep rim painted to match the car.
A square-cut two-door coupe, three-box, in a strong magenta, seen from the rear three-quarter. The proportions are 1980s American: a long flat bonnet out of shot, an upright cabin, and a short high boot. The boot lid is standing open and propped, and what is inside it catches light but does not read as any one thing.
On the rearmost side window there is a white roundel with a large 27 in it, read on the true pixel grid: the second character has a flat top bar with a diagonal running down from it. On the rear windscreen, behind the roundel and under the raised boot lid, a white decal in a script face sits against the dark glass and does not come apart into letters, and a small white mark sits low on the flank at the right edge of the crop. The tail lights are horizontal, one either side of the number plate, each with a bright strip through it, and the rear bumper is chrome.
The wheels are the loudest thing about it: the near rear wheel is a deep rim finished in the same magenta as the body, its spokes cut into a swirl. The car sits low over it. Around it, people are standing in the street at what is clearly a meet, and other cars are parked nose-out on both sides.
The community name attached to this car, Declasse Tulip M100, is set out in the hypothesis block with what speaks for and against it. GTA 5's Tulip was a long, square, low two-door in this outline, and the shape here fits that family better than any other in that game. The badge that would settle it is not in the crop.
Our frame is one second earlier than the one the community list uses, in the same continuous shot: the meet on the street in Trailer 1 at 0:27, with the crowd, the parked cars and the open boot all in the same places. That is why the page carries their name as a hypothesis and not as a title: the picture match is close, and the word that would confirm it is nowhere on the car.
How to recognise it
- Square 1980s three-box coupe proportions with an upright cabin
- Magenta paint with a deep swirl-spoke rim finished to match on the near rear wheel
- A white roundel with 27 on the rearmost side window
- A white script decal on the rear windscreen that does not resolve
- Boot lid standing open and propped
- Horizontal tail lights either side of the plate, chrome rear bumper, sitting low
The frame it comes from
The frame is Trailer 1 at 0:27.43. It is 3840 by 2160, and the vehicle occupies 364 by 270 of it. Also in it: a green tuned sedan, a full-size SUV with an oval tailgate badge, and a lowrider with airbrushed flanks.
How this was measured
| Source | Trailer 1, 0:27.43 |
|---|---|
| Frame | 3840 × 2160 |
| Crop | 364 × 270 — a small part of the frame |
| Image check | 23 September 2026 — crop checked against the frame |
| Text check | 23 September 2026 — 22 claims read against the image, 4 corrected |
| Read at | the true pixel grid, enlarged 3x with no interpolation |
| Lettering | Letter height | Contrast | Reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| 27 | 40 px | — | every character |
| the white script decal on the rear windscreen | 30 px | — | no |
These figures come from the dataset, not from the prose above. We measure everything and claim what counts. How we work
What we still do not know
- The make and model. There is no badge in the crop and nothing on the body says a name.
- What is in the boot. Something is mounted in there and it is lit, but it does not resolve into equipment we can name.
- The script decal on the rear windscreen and the small mark on the flank
- Everything measured: top speed, handling, where it spawns
