The Albany Manana is GTA 6’s donk: a 1970s full-size coupe with a 7.7-litre V8, stripped down and rebuilt with straight panels, painted Vice City blue and raised sky-high on oversized gold-and-chrome rims. West Coast Customs built a real one in November 2026.
In the game
In the game the Manana stands tall on huge gold wheels, its turquoise body covered in big metal flake, with gold bumpers, a gold grille and twin round headlights on each side. Donks are a South Florida tradition, which makes this one of the most local cars in Leonida. More street builds like it are on our vehicles page.
The real build by West Coast Customs
West Coast Customs coated the real car in large-flake Vice City blue with gold bumpers and trim, fitted a sky-high custom suspension on oversized gold-and-chrome rims and finished the cabin in matching blue leather edged in gold. The Albany script on the wing and the twin headlights are copied straight from the game.
Game versus real life
Hypebeast published the real photos and the in-game shots one above the other, game on the bottom. The match holds up close, down to the badges and the spokes of the wheels.
What it’s based on
Donks are traditionally built on big mid-’70s Chevrolet Caprice and Impala coupes, and the Manana follows that recipe: the long boxy body, the twin round headlights and the wide chrome grille. Earlier GTA games used the Manana name for a much smaller car, so this is a full rethink.
As a technical artist, I like how much of the in-game material survived the trip into the real world: the depth of the metal flake, the way the gold reflects the sky. Paint that was mixed in a shader turned out to be possible to spray.
