It's no shock that a country in which a man had no qualms about dressing in a canary-yellow thong would know how to produce vehicles that get you noticed. The Carbonizzare is the ultimate sports car for the millionaire who wants people to know that they're a millionaire.Legendary Motorsport description, GTA Online.
The Grotti Carbonizzare is a grand tourer appearing in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online and due to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI.
Influence
Grand Theft Auto V and Online
The car's design draws clear inspiration from the Aston Martin V12 Zagato, incorporating features from the Ferrari California, mainly the car's convertible feature, as the V12 Zagato does not feature any folding roof mechanism, but also the shape of the rear windshield and the mirrors. The headlights, front bumper air intakes, and integrated LED daytime running lights closely resemble those of the TranStar Racing Dagger GT. Furthermore, the tail lights seem to be derived from the Ferrari F430, while the diffuser shows some resemblance to that of the Ferrari 458.
Design
Grand Theft Auto V and Online
The front end of this car is created with a range of lines and curves. The front bumper features a large central intake, spanning half the car's width. Either side of this intake, there is a smaller intake with an 8 LED, daytime running lamp strip adjacent to the top edge. The car features quadrilateral shaped headlamp units which have a strip of 10 LED's along the lower part of the inner edge. The outer area features three circular lamps, the highest one being the amber turning indicator lamp. The bonnet/hood features impressed areas whose edges are parallel to the inner edges of the headlamp units, and the Grotti emblem just in the frontal area. This hood/bonnet opens to reveal the engine bay and the strut brace.
The main body of the car has a high prevalence of curves. The front quarter panels are dominated by the presence of a large air intake with a chrome strip near its top edge. The A-pillars of the car are covered with a black polymer. There are carbon-fibre wing mirrors mounted just below the A pillars at the front of the door. The greenhouse features a very curvy lower window line. It also features a very smooth and elegant B-pillar area, positioned after a thin window channel after the door. The rear quarter area bulges outwards and is wider than the main body area, and much wider than the rear of the greenhouse. The rear quarter area has an upper edge that follows the shape of the rear wheel arch.
The rear is both smooth and sharp in areas. At the top of the car's rear face, on the corners are the tail-lamp units, being an almost semi-circle cut out. Inset in the cut out are two circular lamps. The rear bumper of the car features very curved side edges, making more of the rear tyres visible. The lower area of the rear bumper is dominated by the presence of a distinct aerodynamic formation. The formation is split into two levels, the upper level features circular exhaust tips, one either side of the license plate. The bottom level features a large seven blade, six element carbon-fibre diffuser.
The car features a tan coloured interior, in a similar manner to the Super Diamond. In the enhanced version, it uses a dedicated "Schafter Brown" interior, which is a derivative of the one used on cars like the Schafter and the Tailgater.
The car only has a single colour for the body and the interior stitching, and uses a set of wheels similar to the "Hypher" high-end rims available in Los Santos Customs.
Performance
Grand Theft Auto V and Online
The Carbonizzare is a fairly middle-of-the-road Sports car, with good acceleration and top speed. Its handling is very well balanced between understeer and oversteer, making it easy to drive and hard to spin out. Understeer is more pronounced at higher speeds but is easily manageable. Crash deformation is acceptable compared to other Sports cars, but it won't take many collisions for performance-reducing damage to occur. While very well balanced in its entirety, the Carbonizzare's lack of distinction makes it a fairly meager choice for a racing vehicle. Overall, the Carbonizzare is a solid choice for newer players but lacks potential in more skilled hands.
This car features a front-mounted modelled twin-cam inline-4 engine with a cylindrical air filter mounted on its intake manifold. Despite being modelled as a inline-4, it sounds more like a high revving, flat-plane V12. It has a 6-speed transmission and a front engine, rear wheel drive layout.

Trivia
General
- Carbonizzare is Italian for "to carbonize".
Grand Theft Auto V and Online
- In the screenshot where this car first appeared, it had no windscreen wipers. Also, in the same screenshot, it had six spoke wheels, but interestingly, the outer part of the wheel hub is visible, meaning that the wheel has been inset too far into the body, or has not been correctly modeled to fit this car.
- According to the ambient files, the Carbonizzare is one of several named vehicles in-game that make up distant car sounds.[1] Other vehicles include the Entity XF, Cheetah, Comet, Daemon, Banshee, Vacca and Feltzer.
