GTA 6 vehicles on the streets of Leonida

GTA 6 Vehicles

Cars, bikes and boats: the vehicle categories seen in the trailers and realistic expectations

Stealing a car is the founding gesture of Grand Theft Auto. The series is literally named after it. So when people talk about GTA 6, the vehicle question comes up fast: what will we actually get to drive through Vice City and across Leonida when the game launches on November 19, 2026?

Rockstar has not published any official vehicle list. The two trailers released so far do show a lot, though. This page separates what is actually visible on screen, what the franchise's history makes likely, and what still belongs to speculation.

Vehicle categories visible in the two trailers

Going through both official trailers frame by frame, several vehicle categories are clearly identifiable. Rockstar has not confirmed a single model name, so we deliberately stick to the families of vehicles visible on screen.

Cars

Muscle cars with aggressive lines that fit the Florida setting perfectly, supercars spotted in racing sequences, sedans and SUVs filling out the traffic, pickup trucks in the rural areas and police vehicles. Trailer 2 also features a car that strongly resembles the Infernus, the series' iconic supercar, although Rockstar has not confirmed its return.

Two-wheelers

Trailer 2 shows sport bikes at full throttle in what looks like a chase, and choppers cruising along the coastal roads in calmer sequences.

Watercraft

It is Florida, after all: jet skis on the turquoise waters of the Leonida Keys, speedboats around the port areas, and a luxury yacht glimpsed as early as trailer 1. Whether you can own one remains an open question.

In the air

Helicopters and what appears to be a small touring plane show up briefly in the trailers. On a map the size Leonida is shaping up to be, aerial gameplay feels essential.

Cars are the backbone of GTA

The series has always swung between arcade handling and realism. GTA V went for responsiveness: light, nimble cars that could survive fifteen rollovers without complaint. The GTA 6 trailers point the other way, with vehicles that carry visible weight and inertia and body deformation that looks far more detailed. If that impression holds up with a controller in hand, it would be the biggest change to driving the series has seen in years.

Customization is just as much a part of the franchise's DNA. In GTA V, Los Santos Customs let you respray, tune and armor pretty much any car, and garages existed to store your collection. It is hard to imagine GTA 6 walking any of that back.

Then there is Vice City itself. Back in 2002, the original game channeled 1980s car culture: pastel cars on Ocean Drive, motorcycles introduced to the series for the first time, the radio blasting inside the cabin. GTA 6 revisits that setting in its 2026 version, with modern traffic rolling down the same palm-lined streets. For anyone who played the original, the contrast should be a treat.

What you can reasonably expect

Reworked driving physics

Weight, inertia, suspension travel: everything visible in the trailers points to a more grounded handling model than GTA V's.

Likely

Improved vehicle damage

The body deformation glimpsed in the trailers looks localized and realistic, a long way from GTA V's generic dents.

Likely

Deeper customization

Leaks point to a tuning system that goes well beyond Los Santos Customs. Nothing official yet, so treat it with caution.

Speculative

A bigger garage than GTA V at launch

GTA V offered around 350 vehicles in 2013 and over 700 after ten years of GTA Online. The community expects more at GTA 6's launch, without any official confirmation.

Frequently asked questions

How many vehicles will GTA 6 have?

No official number has been announced. For context, GTA V shipped with around 350 vehicles in 2013 and passed 700 after a decade of GTA Online updates. The community expects GTA 6 to launch with at least as many, but that remains an estimate, not a confirmed figure.

Which vehicles appear in the GTA 6 trailers?

Across the two official trailers you can spot muscle cars, supercars, sedans and SUVs, pickup trucks, police vehicles, sport bikes and choppers, jet skis, speedboats, a luxury yacht, plus helicopters and what looks like a small touring plane.

Will you be able to customize cars in GTA 6?

Rockstar has not confirmed anything yet. Customization has been part of the series since Los Santos Customs in GTA V, and leaks point to a deeper tuning system, but until something official comes out it stays speculative.

Will driving in GTA 6 be more realistic than in GTA V?

The trailers suggest a reworked driving model: vehicles appear to carry real weight and inertia, and body deformation looks far more detailed. Rockstar has not published any technical details about handling so far.
