Luxury vehicle builder DARTZ Motorz has never been known for subtlety, and its latest creation may be the company’s most unconventional project yet. Inspired by the Nightshark from Grand Theft Auto Online, the Latvian manufacturer has transformed a million-dollar SUV into a rolling gaming room complete with a former fighter-jet ejection seat, a custom weapon-wheel control, and enough technology to let its owner play the virtual Nightshark while sitting inside the real one. The idea began with a customer who wanted a real-world version of the armored vehicle that appears in the popular video game. According to DARTZ founder Leonard F. Yankelovich, the concept eventually evolved into something even more unusual. “The obvious solution for a million-dollar car is two massage seats in the back,” Yankelovich said. “But this is the Nightshark. It came from a game. So the customer wanted the whole world of the game inside it.”
The rear cabin bears little resemblance to that of a conventional luxury SUV. In place of a rear bench or executive seating arrangement sits a former fighter-jet ejection seat, repurposed for automotive use while retaining much of its original appearance. The exposed framework, rails, and harnesses make it one of the most unusual features of the vehicle. DARTZ says the aviation-inspired centerpiece reflects the broader Grand Theft Auto universe, which has long featured military aircraft, helicopters, and other high-performance machinery alongside its extensive roster of vehicles.
The aviation-inspired seat carries NIGHTSHARK branding across the harness straps, while the buckle has been replaced by a metal controller inspired by the weapon-selection wheel featured in the game. Other military-style details can be found throughout the cabin, including gun-port-inspired trim elements. Facing the seat is a large display connected to a hidden gaming console, although DARTZ has not disclosed which platform is being used. The setup also includes satellite internet access, a premium sound system, and a distinctive headphone unit from Metaxas & Sins.
The completed Nightshark is expected to make its public debut in Miami during the week of the currently planned November 2026 launch of Grand Theft Auto VI. DARTZ has not disclosed the identity of the buyer, the vehicle’s underlying platform, or several other technical details. The company also emphasized that the project is entirely independent and has no affiliation with Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive.
