- "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. Now available with exclusive Redwood Livery."

The Bravado Redwood Gauntlet is a two-door racing muscle car appearing in Grand Theft Auto V, and, as part of the Cunning Stunts update, Grand Theft Auto Online.
Description
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 2nd stock car race.
Design
Grand Theft Auto V
The Redwood Gauntlet is essentially a Gauntlet with performance upgrades and a pre-installed racing livery sporting Redwood Cigarettes. No prominent bodywork changes have been made.
It 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 1971 Challenger R/T ones.
The stock car may be modified further in Los Santos Customs including the ability to respray the underlying color, although there are no bodywork modifications available for the Gauntlet. The sponsorship decals cannot be changed or removed.
The Redwood Gauntlet has the following list of sponsors on the livery:
- Bravado
- Redwood Cigarettes
- Atomic
- Xero
- Terroil
- Auto Cowboys
- Power Metal
- Southern San Andreas Super Autos

Performance
Grand Theft Auto V
The Redwood Gauntlet receives massive improvements in performance when compared to the standard Gauntlet. The vehicle sports a higher performance engine which not only revs higher, but also revs much faster. The engine sound has been changed from the Sabre Turbo's sound to the Massacro's sound, and even still, it revs faster than the Massacro at engine redline.
The vehicle has increased acceleration due to the engine upgrade, and traction has been improved in order to counteract the weight and force of the acceleration. The top speed is much higher, where it statistically vies with high-end sports cars such as the Carbonizzare and Rapid GT. Its brakes are slightly improved, however not enough to support the increased engine power. The car's handling bears no significant changes.
The engine model remains the same, where is shares the model of a typical V8 with a large cylindrical air filter mounted on the engine block. The engine sound is now comparable to a typical high-revving engine. As with the other stock cars featured with the Redwood Gauntlet, its mass was also reduced compared to its base model.
