Red 1970s muscle coupe

Name not confirmed

What the community calls it

Widely identified as the Declasse Tulip.

A community list puts a Declasse Tulip at 1:10, identified by who is driving it. Ours is the car in that shot. It is their identification and not ours, and their grounds are ones we cannot check. 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

  • Same moment, and in the list this is the only classic muscle model at 1:10.
  • What we see fits the type: a 1970s coupe with four round headlamps in square bezels.
  • GTA Wiki crops the same car side-on a moment later, and its crop shows what ours shows head-on: the matt black bonnet stripes and the round lamps in square bezels.

What does not

  • The source identifies the car by its OCCUPANTS ('the car that Jason and Lucia are driving'), and through our windscreen nobody can be made out. We cannot check that ground.
  • It does not mention the matt black bonnet stripes, which are the most obvious thing about this particular car.
  • The round badge in the middle of the grille does not resolve at full resolution, so the make cannot be checked.
  • The same list puts a second Tulip, the M100, at 0:28 in another scene. Which of the two this is does not follow from the image.
  • GTA Wiki identifies the car by the scene and the pawn shop behind it, not by a badge. The round badge in the grille stays unread in their crop as in ours.

Read on GTA-XTREME, September 18, 2026. They name this picture: “The Declasse Tulip is the car that Jason and Lucia are driving at 1:10” -- 1:10 is our trailer-1-t01-10_27. The identification is theirs, not ours.

Read on GTA Wiki (gta.wiki), September 23, 2026. They name this picture: Tulip-GTAVI-Trailer1.png and the text “fleeing from Port Gellhorn Pawn & Gun (1:10)”: the red coupe with the matt black bonnet stripes in front of the pawn shop -- the same car as our trailer-1-t01-10_27, side-on a moment later in the same shot. The identification is theirs, not ours.

Read on GTABase, September 23, 2026. They name the vehicle but no picture, so they confirm that it exists and not that it is the one in our frame. 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.

The red coupe head-on in the heat haze at 1:10.27: one round headlamp in a square chrome bezel at each end of a barred chrome grille, a round badge in the middle, a plate on the chrome bumper, two matt black stripes over the bonnet and two occupants behind the screen

Trailer 1 · snt-00267 · 1:10.27 · placeholder frame · front · 568 × 285 px © Rockstar Games The whole frame at 3840 × 2160, scaled down to fit — never enlarged. The box marks the crop exactly as we measured it, and that crop is the detail alongside, at its true size.

A red 1970s coupe head-on in the heat haze, a single round headlamp in a square bezel at each end of the grille and matt black stripes over the bonnet.

A wide, low coupe coming at the camera on a dusty road, with the whole frame washed warm by low sun and haze. The nose is flat and square across, and the front wings stand slightly proud of it.

There is one round headlamp at each end of the grille, each sunk into a square chrome bezel. Between them the grille is a wide chrome panel of fine horizontal bars, with a round badge in the middle of it. Under the grille a chrome bumper runs the full width, with a number plate mounted centrally on it. Until 23 September 2026 this page counted four headlamps; on the true pixel grid each bezel holds one.

Two matt black stripes run back over the bonnet from the leading edge, close together, and disappear under the windscreen. Through the screen two occupants show as shapes, the one on the passenger side in an orange top. Neither the grille badge nor the number plate resolves; their heights are in the lettering table.

How to recognise it

  • One round headlamp in a square chrome bezel at each end of the grille
  • Wide chrome grille of fine horizontal bars with a round badge in the centre
  • Full-width chrome bumper with a centrally mounted number plate
  • Two matt black stripes running back over the bonnet
  • Flat square nose with the front wings standing proud of it
  • Low wide stance, 1970s American coupe proportions

The frame it comes from

The frame is Trailer 1 at 1:10.27. It is 3840 by 2160, and the vehicle occupies 568 by 285 of it. Also in it: Pawn & Gun and a country highway.

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. The grille badge is round and at full resolution there is no device in it that we can name.
  • The number plate. It carries characters and they do not resolve.
  • Everything behind the front wheels. Profile, roofline and tail are all outside this shot.
  • Everything measured: top speed, handling, where it spawns

Also in these frames

Measured in the same frames as the images above, but without a page of their own. Same rule as everywhere else: what the crop carries, with the source and the timecode. The ones whose frame no page shows are collected in the frame.
