- "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. The front is largely dominated by the chrome rounded grille between the defense frames, together with a small intake below. Its circular headlamps are surrounded by chrome trim, and the hood bears the manufacturer emblem on the front.
The sides are distinctive by the front fender vents with a chrome trim on it, also bearing the silver lettering displaying the car's main name (Coquette). The horizontal chrome detail runs almost towards the end of the doors, just below the chrome door handles. The greenhouse area is relatively compact, with a curved roof, chrome window trim and chrome rear-view mirrors, as well as chrome parts emulating a set of roll bars.
The rear end has the same tail lights as the Coquette Classic, except that it does not have reverse lights placed over the inner lights. The bumper design and general layout is also derived from the Coquette Classic, although the trunk has a chrome handle, the rear plate has no dedicated plate holder, and an additional silver "Blackfin" badging on the passenger side.
The primary color of the car is applied on the front end, front flares arches, upoer half and interior stitching, while the secondary one is applied on the lower sides. The stock wheels are unique, using black wired-style rims with wide spokes and a bolted-on appearance on the surrounding.

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.
- Although the window tint option is disabled with the roof removed, one can see that the windshield is also tinted on the upper side. The player can still apply a window tint before removing the roof to keep the tinted windshield.
