In all its iterations the vehicle closely resembles a [[Wikipedia:Ferrari Testarossa|Ferrari Testarossa]], with each game's version following the design of the corresponding era. For example, in GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, it looks like a slightly generic-ized and modernized [[wp:Ferrari Testarossa#F512 M|F512 M]], while in GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, it resembles a [[wp:Ferrari Testarossa#Testarossa|mid-80s Testarossa]], and in GTA San Andreas, a [[wp:Ferrari Testarossa#512 TR|512 TR]] Testarossa (but without the hidden headlamps) with the rear lights of a F512 M. The GTA Vice City (Stories) and GTA San Andreas renditions also feature variations of wing mirrors, either featuring two on both sides, one on the driver's side or none. A hood scoop is also present on these renditions.

Looking at the shape of the car, its clear to see that it is mid-engined, however when the hood is removed, in GTA III and GTA Vice City, the engine appears to be at the front, possibly due to programming limitations. This is in stark contrast to the design of the Testarossa in general, which has the engine placed behind the passenger compartment, just in front of the rear axle (mid-engine). However, in GTA San Andreas, the design is more faithful to the real-life counterpart, with the engine being evidently placed at the rear of the chassis, while the front is empty. The engine of the Cheetah sounds and looks like a V10.
