It’s official: after an agonising wait, GTA 6 is about to break cover, with the first trailer dropping in December. To say that fans are excited is an understatement. GTA V came out nearly ten years ago, so players are ready for their next crime-filled adventure. There have been many memorable vehicles in GTA games over the years, so petrolheads are already wondering what the GTA 6 car list will bring.

Although GTA 6 hasn’t been officially shown yet, leaked gameplay showing nearly an hour of gameplay footage from an early build last year provided a first look at the vehicles we’ll be driving in GTA 6. Here is every car confirmed so far in the GTA 6 car list.
GTA 6 car list
As the name suggests, vehicles play a central role in Grand Theft Auto games. A wide variety of vehicles can be stolen, used as getaway cars in heists, or entered in street races, from supercars, muscle cars, and luxury saloons to off-roaders, bikes, and vans.

+ 2GTA 6 is expected to return to Vice City, Rockstar’s version of Miami. While 2002's GTA Vice City was set in the 1980s, GTA 6 is reportedly set in the modern day with a Bonnie and Clyde-inspired story starring two new characters, Jason and Lucia. This means most of the vehicles will be contemporary.
We can’t wait to revisit Vice City's neon-lit streets and sandy beaches in GTA 6's new cars. Away from stealing cars and evading the police, simply taking a long cruise while listening to the radio is a lot of fun in GTA games.
At launch, GTA V included over 250 cars, which increased to over 675 with regular GTA Online updates adding new vehicles. Many of these are expected to carry over to GTA 6, though some may only be available in the next iteration of GTA Online.
While none of GTA’s vehicles are licensed since manufacturers don’t want to see their cars used to commit crimes, they are inspired by real-life vehicles. For example, the Banshee in GTA V looks like a Dodge Viper. This will continue in GTA 6, with replicas of real-life cars.

We’re hoping the car handling will be improved in GTA 6. GTA IV’s heavier car handling was divisive but more realistic. It takes skill to drive in GTA IV at high speed compared to GTA V’s arcade-like handling.
Many of GTA 6’s cars are already known, thanks to leaked gameplay last year. Here is the confirmed GTA 6 car list so far:
- Albany Alpha
- Albany Emperor
- Albany Primo
- Annis Hellion
- Benefactor Schafter LWB
- Bravado Bison
- Bravado Feroci
- Bravado Gauntlet Classic
- Bravado Rumpo Custom

It's worth noting, however, that cars seen in the leaked gameplay could be placeholders and may not appear in the final game. Several vehicles spotted in leaked footage are also new in GTA 6 but their names are unknown. For example, a coupe utility resembling a 1970s Ford Ranchero is parked outside a diner during a robbery in the leaked gameplay.
Electric cars already feature in GTA V, with the fictional Coil manufacturer being a parody of Tesla. Given the rapid rise of EVs in the last ten years since GTA V came out, we’re expecting EVs to feature heavily in the GTA 6 car list.
Trailer
We're expecting more GTA 6 cars to be confirmed in the first official trailer. A date hasn’t been confirmed yet, but Rockstar Games announced last week the GTA 6 trailer will be shown in early December to coincide with the company’s 25th anniversary.
“In 1998, Rockstar Games was founded on the idea that video games could come to be as essential to culture as any other form of entertainment, and we hope that we have created games you love in our efforts to be part of that evolution,” Rockstar Games announced in a statement.
“We are very excited to let you know that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto.”
Release date
There’s no release date for GTA 6 yet. However, Take-Two expects to see a “significant inflection point” during its 2025 fiscal year, suggesting GTA 6 will arrive between 1 April 2024 and 31 March 2025.
With the trailer coming in December 2023, GTA 6 will likely be released around a year later towards the end of 2024, but nothing is confirmed yet. We should find out the release date in the trailer. As for platforms, it’s safe to assume GTA 6 will be released on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
