GTA 6 Tulip: Jason and Lucia’s Car

The four-door muscle car Jason and Lucia drive in both trailers: past two sheriff’s cruisers in Waning Sands, out of the Port Gellhorn pawn-shop lot, and into the sunset at the end of Trailer 2. It copies a 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu.

Tulip in GTA 6 — Jason and Lucia’s car, the real car

Each answer carries how settled it is and who settled it. Where nobody has said, the card says that instead of guessing — and says what stays open even after the answer.

Has the Tulip been seen in GTA 6?

Shown, not stated

Yes — in Trailer 1 at 1:00 and 1:10, and in Trailer 2 at 2:33.

Tulip involved in getaway with Lucia and Jason on freeway (Trailer 1 at 1:00). Tulip flees from Port Gellhorn Pawn & Gun during chase (Trailer 1 at 1:10). Tulip drives between artificial islands into sunset in final shot (Trailer 2 at 2:33). These are identifications made from Rockstar’s own footage — Rockstar has not named the vehicle in any of them.

Still open — Whether it can be driven, bought or modified — none of that shows in a frame.

Is the Tulip Jason and Lucia’s car in GTA 6?

Shown, not stated

It is the car they drive in both trailers: the getaway at 1:00 and 1:10 of Trailer 1, and the drive into the sunset that closes Trailer 2.

GTA Wiki’s shot list has Lucia and Jason in a Tulip passing two Leonard County Sheriff units near a mall in Waning Sands (Trailer 1, 1:00), pulling out of the Port Gellhorn Pawn & Gun lot (1:10), and driving through artificial islands with the Vice City skyline behind them in Trailer 2’s final shot (2:33). GTA 6 Intel logs the same two Trailer 1 moments and has Jason at the wheel of a red Tulip. Whether it is “their” car in the story, Rockstar has not said.

Still open — Whether the Tulip is a story car, a starting car, or just the one in the trailers.

Jason Duval

What car is the Tulip based on?

Shown, not stated

A 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Sport Sedan, with an Oldsmobile 442 and Impala mixed into the rear.

GTA Wiki reads the GTA Online Tulip as the 1972 Chevelle Malibu, specifically the four-door Sport Sedan from the C-pillar, with a rear crossed from the 1972 Oldsmobile 442 and the 1970 Chevrolet Impala; GTA 6 Intel names the 1972 Chevelle Malibu.

Still open — Rockstar never names the real car it draws from — this is a reading of the shape.

Has the Tulip been in earlier GTA games?

Stated

Yes — GTA Online.

The name returns from Rockstar’s earlier releases, which GTA Wiki lists for it. What carries over is the name and the maker; whether GTA 6’s model drives or costs the same is not known.

Still open — Whether anything beyond the name and the look carries over.

How we checked this page

All three frames come from GTA Wiki’s shot lists for the two trailers, and GTA 6 Intel logs the two in Trailer 1 at the same seconds. Calling it their car describes the trailers; Rockstar has not said the Tulip belongs to them in the story, and the card says so. The 1972 Chevelle Malibu is named by both references.
