Frequently Asked Questions

GTA 6 is expected to feature approximately 300 unique vehicles at launch, which would make it the largest vehicle roster in series history — GTA V launched with around 250. The count includes cars, motorcycles, boats, watercraft, aircraft, helicopters, emergency vehicles, and commercial utility vehicles spread across Leonida.

Rockstar has officially named several vehicles via pre-order and edition materials: the '95 Grotti Cheetah (a 1990s Ferrari Testarossa-era classic), the '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy (off-road muscle), the Ganado Retro Build, the Dinka Enduro, and the Shitzu Squalo (boat). Dozens more have been identified from Trailer 1, Trailer 2, and the Extended Look footage — our database tracks each with its confirmation status and source evidence.

No. Like all previous GTA titles, GTA 6 uses fictional in-game manufacturer brands that parody real-world automakers. Grotti stands in for Ferrari, Pegassi for Lamborghini, Pfister for Porsche, Vapid for Ford, Declasse for Chevrolet, Benefactor for Mercedes-Benz, Übermacht for BMW, and many more. Each vehicle blends design cues from one or more real-world counterparts.

Yes. Vehicle customization returns with significantly expanded options through Rideout Customs, a confirmed new mod shop brand in GTA 6. Expect deep exterior and interior modifications including body kits, engine upgrades, nitrous systems, custom wheels, paint wraps, and performance tuning. Pay & Spray locations also return for quick repaints, repairs, and chase-breaking resprays.

Yes — a functional fuel and battery system has been confirmed. Vehicles have a working fuel gauge, and running out of fuel will strand you mid-drive or mid-chase. Electric vehicles (EVs) need to be recharged at charging stations. This adds a strategic layer to vehicle choice, especially during extended pursuits or cross-map drives across Leonida.

GTA 6 introduces a reinvented car theft system with security tiers. Older vehicles can be broken into with a slim jim or smashed window, while modern high-end cars require electronic key-cloning devices. The WAINK scanner lets you assess a vehicle's value and protection level before stealing it. High-end stolen cars may have GPS trackers that alert police if driven too slowly — fences can remove these trackers for a fee.

Yes to all four. You can purchase vehicles legitimately, steal them off the street using the tiered theft system, register stolen vehicles to prevent them from despawning (via Pay & Spray or similar services), and sell stolen cars to a fence for profit. Garage properties let you store your collection, some with weapon lockers and stolen-goods deposit boxes.

Exact top speed stats have not been officially published yet, but GTA 6 is confirmed to feature higher top speeds than GTA V overall, paired with heavier, more realistic handling physics. Super-class vehicles from Grotti, Pegassi, Progen, and Truffade are expected to dominate the speed charts. Our database tracks estimated top speed tiers for every confirmed vehicle.

Yes. Official trailers and the Extended Look confirm a wide variety of vehicles beyond cars: sport bikes, dirt bikes, speedboats, luxury yachts, commercial airplanes, helicopters, and more. Leonida's Florida-inspired geography — coastlines, swamps, islands — ensures heavy representation of watercraft and aircraft alongside the car roster.

Many fan favorites have been spotted in trailer footage returning with updated models for the new RAGE engine, including the Bravado Banshee, Grotti Carbonizzare, Vapid Dominator, and various utility and emergency vehicles. Rockstar typically carries over a significant portion of the previous game's roster. Our database tags each returning vehicle with a 'Returning Vehicle' confirmation status.

The GTA VI Ultimate Edition includes at least two exclusive vehicles at launch: the '95 Grotti Cheetah (a retro Ferrari Testarossa-inspired supercar) and the '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy (an off-road muscle car). Historically, Rockstar makes special edition vehicles available to all players later through in-game means, but Ultimate Edition owners get early access.

GTA 6 features an RDR2-style trunk storage system where players can use their vehicle's trunk as mobile inventory for weapons, body armor, gear, and outfit changes. A vehicle interaction menu (controlled via d-pad) lets you open the trunk, hood, and individual doors. Detailed vehicle interiors also include working mirrors, adjustable seats, sun visors, and steering wheel position.

Every GTA 6 vehicle draws visual inspiration from one or more real-world cars. The '95 Grotti Cheetah is based on the Ferrari Testarossa/512 TR, the '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy channels the Ford Mustang Baja and Bronco, and the Ganado Retro Build evokes the Dodge Charger Daytona. Our real-life inspiration hub pairs each vehicle with its counterpart, visual evidence, and a confidence rating.
