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 [[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 [ | 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.

The GTA Vice City (Stories) and GTA San Andreas renditions also feature variations of rear mirrors, either featuring two rear mirrors, one or none, and a hood scoop. | ||
The Cheetah's acceleration and speed are slightly inferior to other sports cars in the game, but handling and braking are far superior to all others. Due to its low suspension, it hugs the road and is not prone to rolling over or spinning out of control when cornering at high speeds like the [[Infernus]] or [[Banshee]]. 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 Cheetah's acceleration and speed are slightly inferior to other sports cars in the game, but handling and braking are far superior to all others.
