The Shitzu Squalo is a watercraft Rockstar Games confirmed as an Ultimate Edition bonus vehicle for Grand Theft Auto VI, announced in the same June 25, 2026 pre-order reveal that detailed the game's special editions. Rockstar describes it with a gradient pink-and-blue paint scheme, docked at Washington Beach and made open-ocean-ready, according to Video Games Chronicle's report on the announcement.
The Squalo comes equipped with an explosives-laden weapons crate according to Rockstar's own description, suggesting the boat is intended for combat or heist use on the water rather than pure transportation — a detail TheSixthAxis also flags in its rundown of the Ultimate Edition's contents. That combat framing fits the coastal, island-heavy geography of Leonida and Vice City, where boats are as likely to be a getaway vehicle as a leisure craft.
The Squalo name (Italian for "shark") and the Shitzu marque both have history in the series: Shitzu has stood in as Rockstar's fictional Japanese manufacturer since Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and a Squalo speedboat has appeared as a fast, lightly armored watercraft in multiple prior games. This GTA VI version keeps that go-fast, combat-ready identity rather than reinventing the model.
The real car behind it
Rockstar has not named a specific real-world boat as the Squalo's basis, so any comparison here is speculation based on visual genre rather than a confirmed source. The Squalo's low, needle-nosed hull and high-power profile sit in the same general category as the offshore "go-fast" boats that became a fixture of 1980s–90s Miami — builders like Scarab and Cigarette, whose boats were themselves popularized by shows like Miami Vice. The photo below shows a Scarab-brand sport boat of that lineage; it's offered here for the vibe of the genre the Squalo evokes, not as a claim that Rockstar modeled the Squalo on this specific boat or builder.
How to get it
Rockstar has confirmed the Shitzu Squalo as part of the Ultimate Edition pre-order bonus package specifically, alongside the '95 Grotti Cheetah and '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy. Final pricing and the exact pre-order storefront date have not been announced as of this writing, so treat purchase specifics as unconfirmed until Rockstar publishes them.
