Chepalle (pronounced "Ke-pahl-eh") is a rubber and urethane company added to Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Lowriders update, and due to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI.
Description[]
The company first appeared on a banner inside Benny's Original Motor Works, as well as on the Benny's Original Motor Works website. A Chepalle banner can be found inside Clubhouses and Vehicle Warehouses, and can be seen on several vehicle liveries as both minor sponsors or main sponsors, such as for the Itali GTB Custom, Blimp, Caracara 4x4, S80RR, Zion Classic, and the Retinue Mk II. Some of El Rubio's Private Security can be seen wearing Chepalle caps.
Chepalle is mentioned to make tires; however, these were not seen until The Diamond Casino Heist update, which added options for Chepalle-made tires for the R88 and PR4. On these two same vehicles, the seatbelts in the cockpit bear Chepalle logos on them, suggesting Chepalle makes seatbelts or racing seats.
Chepalle can later be seen having a presence in Grand Theft Auto VI within the game's September 2022 leaks, where a logo banner can be seen hanging on a fence in Stockyard.[1]
Influence[]
Chepalle is very likely based on Pirelli, due to having similar logos, names, and the obvious fact of being an Italian tire manufacturer. The brand could also be based on Sparco, another Italian automotive part maker, due to the brand appearing on seating, and the logo being slightly visually similar too. "Che palle!" is Italian for 'that sucks'.[2]
