- "Ah, America in the 1950s. It's easy to spot the moment when Freudian psychosexual theory met car design and what a glorious pairing it was. This Coquette couldn't be more phallic if it was dragging a pair of hairy beach balls. It even smells like cigar smoke, conservative values, and semen. Get out your check book because this golden age of repression won't resurrect itself."
- ―Legendary Motorsport description.
The Invetero Coquette BlackFin is a classic sports car featured in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Ill-Gotten Gains Part 2 update.
Design
Grand Theft Auto V
The Coquette BlackFin is mostly based on the 1956-1957 Chevrolet Corvette (C1) in the frontal design and the 1961-1962 Chevrolet Corvette (C1) in the rear design. The car also has some influences from the Roadster Shop Corvette, notably the rims and area behind the seats. The name is a reference to the Mako Shark Corvette concept. The grille has a small resemblance to those found on many Austin-Healey sports cars.
The car's features slightly resemble the curves of a fish, which suits its name. It has the same tail lights as the Coquette Classic, except it does not have reverse lights. The car also has unique stock wheels.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto V
Powered by a 327cui 360hp V8 engine (according to Legendary Motorsport), the car has very good acceleration with a good top speed for a muscle car. Its handling is better than the Coquette Classic's, and better than several other Muscle cars. It does not have as many bouts of severe oversteer compared to other Muscles, and feels more consistent than them as a result. However, the car can still have its times of being hard to control, usually when attempting to take a corner and riding a curb, which regularly causes the car to lose control. It is not as fast as similar Muscle cars, but makes up for that by being able to take the corners faster and with less chances for spin outs.
Because of its consistency, high speed carry, alongside very good acceleration, the Coquette BlackFin is a good choice for Muscle racing. It's especially good on tracks which lack long straights and have more corners than normal, but stands a fighting chance on most courses regardless.
The car has a unique engine sound, along with a unique deceleration sound that is somewhat similar to the Stirling GT and Virgo, but more mechanical sounding.

Trivia
General
- The name "BlackFin" may be derived from the car's fin shaped roll-over protection behind the seats.
- The roll-cage customization is similar to the roll-cage found in the movie "Hot Rods to Hell," which features the BlackFin's real-life counter part, a first generation Chevrolet Corvette[1].
- The default radio station of the Coquette BlackFin is WorldWide FM.
Grand Theft Auto V
- Even though both the front and rear bumpers are visibly two parts, when damaged it can hang off oddly as though it is all one bar, often leading to one side 'floating' behind the car.
