Panther-inspired airboat

The unnamed Panther-inspired airboat appears in GTA VI's first trailer, travelling through the Grassrivers. It is a motorboat of the airboat, or fanboat, body style. Its hull is flat, with two seats set above it, while the engine and propeller assembly sit at the rear.

A large rear-mounted engine powers the airboat's fan. A metal cage encloses this machinery and carries twin spotlights. Behind the fan are two turning fins, which direct the fan's airflow to steer the boat. The exposed mechanical layout distinguishes it from a conventional enclosed motorboat.

The airboat resembles custom-built airboats. Its overall body form is closest to a Panther Airboat design, while its arched engine cage and absence of a front bench seat resemble another Panther Airboat model. Rockstar has not given the vehicle an in-game name.
