- "Lithe, focused, aggressive: if you've ever made passionate love to an angry jungle cat, you'll have an inkling of what it's like to take Progen's new Itali GTB out for a gentle spin. And if you've ever made passionate love to a stripped down, track-ready jungle cat with a massive rear spoiler, you'll have some idea of what Benny can do to this thing."
- ―Benny's Original Motor Works description.
The Itali GTB is a sports car featured in the first Grand Theft Auto and a two-door super car featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Import/Export update, released on January 10th, 2017, during the Itali GTB Week event. It is manufactured by Progen in the HD Universe.

Design
Grand Theft Auto
The Itali GTB resembles a Ferrari 348 GTS. Its name is a parody of Italy, where Ferraris are made.
The design of the car is very simplistic, with a small front compartment and a black portion on the roof.

The Itali GTB returns to Grand Theft Auto Online and is mostly based on the McLaren 570S (front and rear facade) and Trion Nemesis (rest of the body). It also features some cues from the McLaren 650S.
Featuring an aggressive styling and rounded design, the Itali GTB is distinguished by the large intakes on the front, with carbon-fibre inserts and separations on the lower side and a curved shape above. The upper area is occupied by triangle-shaped plastic housings on the outer sides, which contain seven circular lamps and amber strips on the upper edges, along with a chrome detail that splits the six innermost lamps. There is an openable front trunk with a relatively simple design and has silver "PROGEN" lettering on the front.
The sides of the car have distinctive bulky arches and ridged skirting area, followed by inset shapes passing through the doors and leading towards the rear fender vents. A set of body-coloured mirror wings can be seen on either door, mounted near the A-pillars. The greenhouse area is slightly angled towards the front, having black window trimmings and black separations between the door windows and the rear-quarter windows. The rear window leaves a small cut-out on the upper side that is intended for the extended roof panel, and also exposes part of the engine bay. The rear area is relatively simple in appearance and has an openable engine compartment on the centre.
On the rear, the car makes use of a small exit vent on the centre and two large ones on the outer edges, the latter housing a set of red circular tail lamps and upper light strips. The middle section has an inset area for the license plate and an additional set of red lamps below the outer vents. The lower area is predominated by a single rear-exit vent with dual-exit, dual exhausts on the outer sides, followed by a carbon-fibre diffuser with a single reverse light on the center. The car shares the same interior with the Comet, although it uses the corresponding Progen badges on the horn cap.
The primary colour of the car is applied on the bodywork and the interior stitching, while the secondary colour is applied on the roof and pillars. It uses a set of five dual -spoke rims with a circular centre, wrapped in low-profile tyres.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto
It is fast, yet its handling and durability are poor, sharing the same attributes as the Itali GTO.
Grand Theft Auto Online
Even without upgrading to its custom variant, the Itali GTB performs exceptionally well in races with excellent handling due to its AWD nature. Durability is fair but can become problematic after taking hard collisions from heavier vehicles.
The engine model appears to be the same single-cam V8 engine found on vehicles like the Cheetah, the Turismo R and the T20, coupled to a 6-speed gearbox in a mid engine, all wheel drive layout (30-70, front to rear distribution). The engine sound is typically high-revving, identical to the one used in the Cheetah.

Trivia
General
- The Itali GTB, alongside the Mamba and Penetrator, are the oldest vehicles in the series to reappear as a whole (with the exception of emergency vehicles), as they returned from first Grand Theft Auto.
- The Itali GTB holds the longest gap between its last appearance and reappearance, being 19 years and 2.5 months between its last appearance (GTA, released in October 1997) and reappearance (GTA Online as part of the continuation of the GTA Online: Import/Export update, released on January 10th, 2017), thus beating the Penetrator, which was released nearly a month earlier. It was soon beaten by the Impaler a year later from the release of the Arena War update, followed by the Itali GTO just two weeks later.
- The default radio station for the Itali GTB is Non-Stop-Pop FM.
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Despite its name, the car it is based on is manufactured by McLaren, a British manufacturer.
- Upon release of the vehicle, the "Skirts" customization list appeared with a few mistakes:
- The "Carbon Low Level Skirt" was a secondary-coloured skirt.
- The "GT Skirt" should have been named after the previous option.
- The first "Secondary GT Skirt" was actually a primary-coloured option, and should have been named after the previous one (as the GT Skirts have a small wing at the rear). The second option with the same name was an actual secondary-coloured GT skirt.
- All those mistakes were fixed afterwards[vague], displaying the options correctly.
