The Coquette closely resembles the [[wp:Chevrolet Corvette C5|Chevrolet Corvette C5]] (1997-2004), albeit with revealed projector-style headlamps and altered fascias. The front fascia is closely reminiscent of the [[wp:Honda NSX#"Facelifted" NSX (worldwide)|face-lifted Honda/Acura NSX]] (2002-2005) which shares the headlamp cluster design (the NSX sports a clear headlamp surround; the Coquette features a black surround), the radiator inlets, and the angular hood lines. The taillamps bear some resemblance to the Corvette and also to the [[wp:Nissan GT-R|2007-present Nissan GT-R]] where the running lamps overlap the brake lamps. The reverse lamps and turn repeaters are embedded in the running and brake lamps respectively. The Coqutte has a high-mounted third brake lamp. The dual exhaust exits also overlap to mimic the taillight design (similar to early 2003 Gemballa Porsche models which used overlapping exhaust exits). Unlike Corvette, the side vents on the Coquette do not extend the length of the door; however, are finished with two silver accent strakes. The car also features a rod antenna mounted on the roof for improved radio reception. The Coquette features handsom five-split-spoke alloy rims wrapped by low-profile sport tyres. Braking is accomplished by the same four very large, composite cross-drilled disc rotors found on the Infernus, Comet, and Turismo. The interior design is closely related to that of the Corvette extended leather package: the bucket sports seats feature two-tone leather upholstery in black and yellow with "Coquette" embroidery and matching leather door finishers and leather-wrapped shifter lever; the car features a fully-carpeted parcel shelf suitable for small luggage.

In GTA V, the Coquette is completely redesigned, resembling the [[wp:Chevrolet Corvette (C7)|2014-present Chevrolet Corvette C7]]. The headlights are derived from the [[wp:Fisker Karma|Fisker Karma]], while the taillights appear similar to those of the [[wp:Jaguar F-Type|Jaguar F-Type]] and [[wp:Jaguar C-X75|Jaguar C-X75]], as they are thin taillights, except the Coquette's taillights do not feature the U-shaped bumps that appear on the F-Type and C-X75's taillights.

=== Performance ===
The Coquette is a front/mid engine, rear wheel drive sportscar with a very powerful eight-cylinder power plant under the hood mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. Like the Corvette, it is also fairly lightweight which lends the car its nimble and quick nature. The Coquette also reaches an amazing top speed of 340km/h (211mph), which is one of the highest maximum speeds behind the Infernus and the Comet. The [[Sultan RS]] is the only car that accelerates faster. It has excellent braking and handling, even at high speeds. Combined with the strong engine, these points mean the Coquette is an excellent drifting car. While the Coquette has a fairly solid construction and damage resistance, the front/mid engine layout of the Coquette means it is specifically vulnerable to engine damage in high-speed front-end collisions; more so than mid-engine sports cars like the [[Turismo]] and [[Infernus]]. Due to its high-power and engine layout (where weight is more balanced than mid-engine cars), the Coquette suffers from excessively poor grip in wet conditions.

The Coquette in GTA V now has a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h), while it can accelerate from standstill to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.1 seconds. Its downgrade in speed from 217 mph (350 km/h) to 202 mph (325 km/h) makes it much closer to the [[wp:Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (C6)|Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1]] in performance.

The Invetero Coquette is a two-door/two-seat, high-powered sports car featured in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V.

Description

Design

GTA IV

The Coquette closely resembles the 1997—2004 Chevrolet Corvette C5, albeit with revealed projector-style headlamps and altered fascias. The front fascia is closely reminiscent of the face-lifted Honda/Acura NSX (2002—2005) which shares the headlamp cluster design (the NSX sports a clear headlamp surround; the Coquette features a black surround), the radiator inlets, and the angular hood lines. The taillamps bear some resemblance to the Corvette where the running lamps overlap the brake lamps, while the reverse lamps and turn repeaters are embedded in the running and brake lamps respectively; the Coquette also has a high-mounted third brake lamp.

The dual exhaust exits overlap to mimic the taillight design (similar to early 2003 Gemballa Porsche models which used overlapping exhaust exits). Unlike the Corvette, the side vents on the Coquette do not extend the length of the door, and are finished with two silver accented strips. The car also features a rod antenna mounted on the roof. The Coquette features five-split-spoke alloy rims wrapped by low-profile sport treys, with brakes consisting of four very large, composite cross-drilled disc rotors also found on GTA IV's Infernus, Comet, and Turismo.

The interior design is closely related to that of the Corvette extended leather package: the bucket sports seats feature two-tone leather upholstery in black and yellow with "Coquette" embroidery and matching leather door finishers and leather-wrapped shifter lever; the car features a fully-carpeted parcel shelf suitable for small luggage.

GTA V

In GTA V, the Coquette is completely redesigned, resembling the 2014-present Chevrolet Corvette C7. The headlights are derived from the Fisker Karma, while the taillights appear similar to those of the Jaguar F-Type and Jaguar C-X75, as they are thin taillights, except the Coquette's taillights do not feature the U-shaped bumps that appear on the F-Type and C-X75's taillights.

Performance

The Coquette is a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car with a very powerful V8 power plant under the hood mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. Like the Corvette, it is also fairly lightweight which lends the car its nimble and quick nature. The Coquette also reaches an top speed of 217 mph (350 km/h), which is a very high top speed, even faster than its real-life counterpart (which can reach 186~205 mph (300~330 km/h)). The Sultan RS is the only car that accelerates faster. It has excellent braking and handling, even at high speeds. Combined with the strong engine, these points mean the Coquette is an excellent drifting car. While the Coquette has a fairly solid construction and damage resistance, the front mid-engine layout of the Coquette means it is specifically vulnerable to engine damage in high-speed front-end collisions, more so than rear mid-engined sports cars like the Turismo and Infernus. Due to its high-power and engine layout (where weight is more balanced than mid-engine cars), the Coquette suffers from excessively poor grip in wet conditions.

The Coquette in GTA V now has a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h), while it can accelerate from standstill to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.1 seconds. Its downgrade in speed from 217 mph (350 km/h) to 202 mph (325 km/h) makes it much closer to the Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1 in performance.

Variants

The Coquette has a unique white-and-red paint job available, similar to that of the 1984-1996 C4 Corvette featured in the television series The A-team [1]. This paint job, unlike most other unique paint jobs, can be sprayed onto any Coquette.

A Coquette is also requested as part of Stevie's Car Thefts, featuring a gray body color. As a new Coquette will spawn at the same spot until the player delivers one to S&M Auto Sales, the player can save one at their safehouse before delivering another. Stevie's photograph of the car is shown to have no badge or marque on its rear, implying it was not originally added earlier in game development.
