GTA VI Guide
Vehicles
Getting around Leonida means getting behind the wheel — and Grand Theft Auto VI’s official trailers and its 27-minute Extended Look are packed with the cars, motorcycles and boats you’ll be driving, riding and piloting across Vice City and the state beyond. This guide breaks the fleet, from Vice City supercars to the boats and airboats of the Leonida wetlands.
What the trailers reveal
Vice City’s traffic is as much a character as its people. The reveal trailer and Trailer 2 together show a fleet that spans every corner of a modern Florida stand-in: low-slung exotics tearing down neon-lit boulevards, chrome-heavy classics cruising the beachfront, lifted pickups kicking up dust on backcountry roads, and a whole world of watercraft built for the coast, the canals and the swamps.
The most talked-about vehicle so far is the magenta muscle car that bookends both trailers — a hero car the community has adopted as an unofficial mascot for the game. Around it, the footage packs in supercars and sports coupes, vintage convertibles that nod straight back to the original Vice City, full-size SUVs, off-road trucks, motorcycles ranging from lean choppers to dirt bikes, and boats and airboats suited to Leonida’s keys and wetlands.
A quick note on accuracy: Rockstar has not published an official GTA VI vehicle list, and it has not confirmed the names, brands or specifications of individual models. Grand Theft Auto has always used its own in-house car brands — Declasse, Grotti, Vapid, Shitzu and the rest — that echo real-world manufacturers without licensing them, and GTA VI will do the same. Where a model is only glimpsed and unnamed, we leave it that way rather than guess a badge. As Rockstar reveals confirmed vehicles, we’ll fold the official names and imagery in here.
Named models spotted so far
Rockstar has never published a vehicle list, but the press has been reading the footage frame by frame. The fullest catalogue so far is Red Bull’s roundup by Tom Ward (August 17, 2026), which names the models it recognises from the trailers and released stills. We have grouped them below.
Treat these as identifications rather than confirmations. They are one publication’s reading of footage Rockstar has shown, and most are recognised because the badge already exists elsewhere in the series. Rockstar has confirmed none of them, and the lineup can change before launch.

Bikes, super and pedal
Motorbikes and pedal power together, which between them should cover most riding tastes.

Fixed-wing aircraft running from private jets down to a crop duster, with the Dodo back for putting down on water.

Boats
A fast hull, a plush one and a basic one — and a strong suspicion that Rockstar is holding the rest back.

Police vehicles
The law's side of the garage, from pursuit cars and a riot van to a sheriff's SUV and a helicopter.

Sources & credits
What the footage shows is drawn from Grand Theft Auto VI’s official videos, published by Rockstar Games — you can watch them in full on our trailers page. The named models are compiled from Red Bull’s vehicle roundup and attributed as that publication’s identifications, not as Rockstar confirmations. Several stills on this page come from the same article; the game imagery throughout is © Rockstar Games. We still avoid unconfirmed leaks, and as Rockstar names individual models officially we will fold the confirmed detail in here.
