Overview

The Buckingham Dinghy is a Buckingham-built boats & watercraft vehicle drawing inspiration from the Novurania 550 DL RIB. It represents Buckingham's commitment to performance and style on the streets of Vice City.

In Grand Theft Auto VI, vehicle handling and weight have been dramatically overhauled compared to GTA V. The Buckingham Dinghy benefits from heavier physics simulation, realistic roll dynamics, and authentic torque curves designed to reward skilled drivers on both Leonida's open freeways and narrow downtown alleys.
