Grotti
Grotti Automobile is a luxury-sports car manufacturer featured in the GTA series based on the real-world Italian automotive company Ferrari S.p.A. Throughout the series, the company features the Turismo, the Cheetah, and the Jetmax. Grotti has dealers in Rodeo, Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and in Algonquin, Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV. For GTA: San Andreas, Grotti's line-up features the Ferrari F40-based Turismo and the Ferrari 512 TR-based Cheetah. In GTA IV, Grotti's sole offering is the 360 Modena-based Turismo and an up-market go-fast boat, Jetmax. Breaking into a Turismo in Grotti's Algonquin showroom ([[Grand Theft Auto IV|IV) will give the player two wanted stars; due to a glitch, this will reduce any wanted level greater than two.
'Grotti' in Italian means "coves", or sea inlets, but is presumably a play on the English word 'grotty', meaning 'seedy'. Grotti's logo caricatures Ferrari's; in GTA San Andreas, the galloping horse is replaced with a rabbit/hare and, in GTA IV, instead of a galloping horse, the logo depicts a horse sitting down.

Trivia
