The vehicle is mid-engine, and has a rear-drive layout.

The only real sacrifice is susceptibility to intense damage upon impact, especially at the excessive speeds the vehicle is capable of reaching.

The GTA V rendition of the Bullet, now simply known as the Bullet, remains virtually the same as the TBOGT rendition.Ġ-60 mph acceleration, speed, handling, and braking are among the best in the game. Much like various newly designed cars in TBOGT, the Bullet GT lacks external badging indicating its manufacturer however, police chatter refers to the car as a "Vapid Bullet GT" in the same vein as the Ford GT. The main body stripe no longer exists however, the side stripes still exist. The louvers over the rear windscreen and positioning of the exhaust tips are more similar to those featured on the Lamborghini Miura, while the plush interior, which features sport bucket seats finished in tan leather, is derived from the Grotti Turismo. The rear end, while similar to that of the Ford GT, also appears to be an amalgamation of various supercars' rear ends, including the ONUK Sazan LM, Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34), Ferrari 330 P4 (to a limited extent), and Lucra L148 however, the former and latter are just coincidences as the ONUK Sazan LM and Lucra L148 weren't conceptualized until 20, respectively. In The Ballad of Gay Tony, the Vapid Bullet (known as the Bullet GT) still resembles the Ford GT, borrowing design cues like the waterfall hood scoop and body shape. Also, the Bullet uses a conventional door design, unlike the real life Ford GT's "aircraft door" design.

The change to a single stripe in the actual game may have been aimed at avoiding a blatantly obvious design influence from a car that wouldn't exist for another 13 years. In a pre-release screenshot of GTA San Andreas, the Bullet is seen with a double stripe and a different hood, identical to that on the real Ford GT the beta model is also portrayed in some renderings inside of Otto's Autos, a showroom in Downtown San Fierro. The Ford GT40 was used as a racecar in the 1960s, but bears less of a resemblance to the Bullet. The Bullet's shape closely resembles a first-generation Ford GT, making the car an anachronism the GT wasn't introduced until 2005, 13 years after the game's events in 1992.
