No, Ziveran is not a real car you can buy from a dealership. It is a fictional vehicle created for the world of the popular online video game, Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V). Specifically, it's the in-game brand name for a car that closely resembles the real-life Bugatti Veyron, one of the world's most famous hypercars.
The confusion is understandable. Game developers at Rockstar Games often create parodies of real-world brands and products, giving them slightly altered names to avoid copyright issues while adding to their game's satirical style. The Ziveran is a prime example of this practice. It features the Veyron's distinctive low-slung, wide-bodied design and incredible in-game performance stats that mimic a hypercar's capabilities.
While you can't drive a Ziveran on public roads, its existence highlights the blurred lines between digital and real-world automotive culture. For car enthusiasts who also enjoy gaming, "driving" a car like the Ziveran in a highly realistic virtual environment can be a way to experience the thrill of a multi-million dollar hypercar that would be otherwise inaccessible.
| Attribute | Real Car (Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport) | Fictional Car (GTA V's Ziveran) |
|---|
| Top Speed | 407 km/h (253 mph) | Varies with in-game upgrades |
| 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) | 2.5 seconds | Similar hypercar-level acceleration |
| Engine | 8.0L Quad-Turbocharged W16 | Fictional (not specified in-game) |
| Horsepower | 1,001 hp | Not officially rated |
| Production Status | Production ended (approx. 450 units made) | Not a production vehicle; digital only |
| Price | ~$2.5 million USD (new) | In-game currency cost |
So, if you're looking for performance specs or purchase advice for a Ziveran, you'll need to boot up your game console or PC. For a real-world driving experience, you'd be looking at legendary hypercars from manufacturers like Bugatti, Koenigsegg, or Hennessey.
