TheBFBifta is a dune buggy featured inGrand Theft Auto V andGrand Theft Auto Online as part of theBeach Bum Update.
Influence[]
The Bifta closely resembles aMeyers Manx, a kit car made from aVolkswagen Beetle, seen in the overall design and circular lamps, more specifically thecustom version by Derek Jenkins, as seen in the foglights, tail lights, exhaust, and cage. The low-side profile is most likely influenced by theMeyers Resorter/Turista. Furthermore, similar to its real-life counterpart, the Bifta features an engine that is modeled after theVolkswagen air-cooled engine.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto V andOnline[]
The Bifta is particularly distinctive by its compact, rounded design, where the front features a small defense frame with mounted "MK1" fog lamps and license plate. The upper area is relatively simple and has two circular headlamps with a chrome finish. On the sides, large curved fenders cover the wheels and are connected to each other by a curved section on the middle, with additional frames on the skirting area. A roll cage protects the cabin area, with two parallel frames on the roof and two sloped ones over the engine bay. The rear of the car is very exposed and features dual LED tail lamps on either side and a license plate on the centre. Large chrome exhaust tubes can be seen coming from the engine, which merge into one single tube with a carbon-fibre muffler facing to the passenger side. The underside area is seemingly identical to theDune Buggy, but has a single steel floor panel. The interior of the car also reuses the main components from the Dune Buggy, being the set of pedals, the steering wheel with the exposed column, the radio set, the gear stick and the main seats. The inner sides of the car are finished in carbon fibre.
The primary colour of the car is applied on the main body shell, while the secondary colour is applied on the tube chassis/roll cage and in the form of a central wide stripe on the front and the rear. It uses a set of wheels with rims similar to the "Revolver" muscle rims also available inLos Santos Customs, wrapped in high-profile tyres with standard-treaded pattern.
The vehicle is also very similar to the3D Universe iteration of theBF Injection, (namely theGrand Theft Auto: San Andreas iteration, due to the more angular design).

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto V andOnline[]
The Bifta is a solid vehicle; having a fast and stable top speed and acceleration, and due to the fact that it is an off-road vehicle with its dune buggy-like design, it performs acceptably well off the streets and on off-road terrains. However, the Bifta can be problematic when navigating through bumpy terrain at high speeds, which can result either in a spinout, or a rollover. It also suffers from having a slow braking speed. Due to this, it takes a while to come to a full stop, although this can be remedied by upgrades available atLos Santos Customs. In terms of handling, the Bifta navigates terribly, as it has a short wheelbase which makes it prone to spinning out even at medium speeds.
The Bifta also lacks major deformation, making the vehicle very rigid for many crashes - with only engine damage being a possible threat to the use of the vehicle. Wheel cambering is common, especially around the front end, causing the wheels to camber negatively into the wheel arches, eventually bursting the tires, or completely disabling the vehicle from turning.
Overall, the Bifta is a solid off-road performance vehicle for racing, and escaping the police (although the open bodywork does make any player(s) inside of it more vulnerable to gunfire)[1]
The engine model appears to a single-cam flat-4 engine with two carburetors and a large air cooling system, which is also shared with theDune Buggy andInjection. The vehicle shares its engine sound with theMonroe, being particularly high revving and high pitched.

Trivia[]
General[]
- "Bifta" is slang for a joint (i.e. a weed tube, similar to a cigar).
- The Bifta's engine is heavily inspired by thereal life VW aircooled 1600 dual-port flat-4 engines, sharing the fuel pump, air-cooling drum, spark plug layout, dual-carburettors, air filters, exposed verniers and timing belt. The same model is found in theSpace Docker,Dune Buggy andInjection, which are also BF (Volkswagen) vehicles.
Grand Theft Auto V andOnline[]
- The Bifta cannot have a Crew Emblem fitted on it.
- Any Bifta purchased prior to Title Update 1.13 could not be sold. Any Bifta purchased after the update can be sold.
- As ofTitle Update 1.36 for PS4/Xbox One/PC, any Bifta purchased before 1.13 on PS3/Xbox 360 can now be sold.
- Originally, neon lighting was available for the Bifta. However, after an update, this ability was removed, with Rockstar noting that the Bifta was never intended to have neon lights[vague]. The same applied to theDune Buggy.
- The Bifta's uniqueSocial Club silhouette features a surfboard on its roof.
