Gauntlet

"An American muscle car in a class by itself. Roll down the windows and scream in testosterone-filled rage as you gun the engine while stuck in traffic. DNA wipes easily off the leather seats."

- Southern San Andreas Super Autos description.

The Bravado Gauntlet is two-door muscle car featured in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

Design
The Gauntlet is heavily inspired by the 2008-2013 Dodge Challenger based on its distinctive body shape, with lines that are flared and smooth. It also sports styling cues directly from the 1970s E-Body muscle cars, with hood scoops resembling the first generation Challenger ones or 1970-1974 Plymouth Barracuda ones and side scoops like the ones. The Gauntlet also appears to feature actual sealed beam headlights, rather than the Challenger's modern retro-inspired headlights. Its rear end draws heavily from the Challenger, though the taillights are closer to the ones on the fifth generation Camaro.

Grand Theft Auto V
The Gauntlet has a strong engine with 423hp and high acceleration, capable of going from 0-60 in a matter of seconds, however, it has a moderate tendency to spin out, it has above average top speed and outstanding acceleration, but it's only beaten by the Dominator.

Redwood Gauntlet
The enhanced edition of Grand Theft Auto V features a unique Gauntlet with a Redwood Cigarettes livery, exclusively for players returning from Xbox 360/PS3. This variant appears during the Stock Car Races and will become available in each protagonist's garage once the player wins the second stock car race.

Grand Theft Auto V

 * Four Gauntlets are needed for the game's final main story heist only if the player picked the first option. The player only needs to source three of these, before modifying them at Los Santos Customs. They can either be found at specific locations pointed out by Lester or if the player prefers, bought from the Internet.
 * Liz Macallen owns a black Gauntlet that got wrecked and was going to be picked up by her then boyfriend Alonzo on a taxi ride, but a brawl with the taxi driver caused Alonzo to be dead and then she started seeing the driver later on. This Gauntlet has a custom license plate that reads SNAKEYES.

Grand Theft Auto V

 * Can be bought for $32,000 from Southern San Andreas Super Autos.
 * Found at top floor of a garage, eastern Little Seoul, on Vespucci Boulevard and Peaceful Street, next to the La Puerta Freeway overpass.

Trivia

 * A "gauntlet" is handwear of leather or metal commonly worn as part of a suit of armor. It can also means "challenge", a homage to the Challenger name.
 * The Gauntlet has no reverse lights.
 * The default radio station for the Gauntlet is Channel X.
 * Similarly to the Vapid Dominator and the Cheval Fugitive, the Gauntlet is equipped with a carburated engine, which is unusual as it is based on a modern vehicle.
 * The Gauntlet turns the fog lamps on when the player presses the headlight beam button, rather than turning full beam lights on.
 * This car shares the same rim design with the Radius.
