Perhaps the closest real-life counterpart to GTA Vice City is the television series ''[[wikipedia:Miami Vice|Miami Vice]]''. Aside from the broad-ranging similarities (typical 80s music, including new wave, glam metal and synthesizer pop, organized crime, especially drug trafficking, overtly styled cars, pastel clothes etc), several specific references are included. For example, at a 3-star [[Wanted Level in GTA III Era|wanted level]] or above, two undercover police officers that strongly resemble Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs, the primary characters from the aforementioned TV series, will chase the player in a [[VCPD Cheetah]], which is itself styled after the 1986 Ferrari Testarossa, Crockett and Tubbs' vehicle of choice in the latter three series of the show. | Perhaps the closest real-life counterpart to GTA Vice City is the television series ''[[wikipedia:Miami Vice|Miami Vice]]''.
