10 Cars From Grand Theft Auto That You Can Actually Own

If actual mechanical ability is a contributing factor to choosing a car for the online world of “Grand Theft Auto,” the Tropos Rallye should be near the top of the list. Much of the driving done in the game is a mix of surfaces both on and off the road, with many challenges taking players through various terrain. Rally cars are well suited to this as they race on dirt and tarmac, and the Lancia Stratos, a king among rally cars, is the basis for the Tropos.

While the actual driving characteristics of the game can get a little wonky, it is still fun to imagine doing the wild driving that can have you traversing hillsides, running over all manner of obstacles, while coming out the other side relatively unscathed. Having a sublime rally car is not imperative, but it sure is fun. The real car was built to be light, nimble, and fast. With a power-to-weight ratio of 472 horsepower per tonne, according to Top Gear, it nearly has the capability of taking flight. The good news is in 2018, Italian company Manifattura Automobili Torino built a new version of the Stratos with modern updates, but in the spirit of the original. The bad news is they only made 25 of them, so expect them to be nearly unattainable.
