GTA 6 vehicles guide: confirmed cars, new vehicle classes, and customization

Well over a hundred vehicles already spotted, a brand-new airboat class, trunk storage that matters, and a full customization suite — here's the state of GTA 6's garage.

01How many vehicles are in GTA 6?

Community trackers have identified well over 140 distinct vehicles across trailers, screenshots and official material, and reasonable projections put the launch roster at 300-plus — but Rockstar hasn't published an official count, so hold that number loosely. What's clear from the footage is breadth: supercars, beaters, muscle, bikes, boats, jet skis, aircraft and a genuinely new swamp class. Expect the usual fictional manufacturer stable — Vapid, Grotti, Pegassi and friends — with real-world inspirations that enthusiasts have already catalogued model-by-model. Our community leaderboard will track vehicle-related runs from launch, so the roster becomes testable rather than theoretical from day one.

02The Vapid Creado — Jason's car and the game's workhorse

The most significant confirmed vehicle is the Vapid Creado, Jason Duval's personal car — he's seen driving it and effectively living out of it across multiple trailer scenes. Protagonist vehicles in Rockstar games are persistent story anchors (think Michael's Obsidian in GTA 5, Arthur's horse in RDR2), so expect the Creado to be upgradeable, recoverable and present through the whole campaign. On the exotic end, a Lamborghini Aventador-inspired Pegassi has been spotted alongside the returning Pegassi Tempesta, and the legendary Grotti Cheetah is confirmed as an Ultimate Edition bonus. The spread matters more than any single car: Leonida's vehicle economy runs from rusted pickups to seven-figure exotics.

03Airboats — the first genuinely new class in years

The airboat (fanboat) is a brand-new vehicle class that has never appeared in a GTA game, built specifically for the Grassrivers swamp region. That's a bigger deal than it sounds: it means Rockstar designed an entire region around a traversal type, the way RDR2 designed around horses. Expect swamp missions, smuggling runs through the wetland channels, and chase sequences where conventional vehicles simply can't follow. Alongside airboats, the Keys region makes boats, jet skis and kayaks genuinely practical rather than novelty transport — some island routes are confirmed to be faster by water than by road. If you defaulted to cars for a decade of GTA 5, Leonida is built to break that habit.

04Customization — Ride Out Customs and what you can change

Vehicle customization returns with a confirmed mod shop, Ride Out Customs, and a modification list that community analysis puts at least as deep as GTA 5's: liveries, body work, engines, brakes, lights, suspension, transmission, wheels, window tint and turbo tuning, with signs pointing to more exotic options in some cases. The reasonable expectation is GTA Online-grade depth in the single-player economy from day one. Treat customization as part of the money loop: a tuned car is both a status flex and a functional upgrade for the wanted-system escapes where raw speed and handling decide whether you keep your haul.

05Why your trunk is now part of your loadout

The vehicle trunk is where GTA 6's weapon system and vehicle system meet. With the carry cap limiting you to two rifles and two pistols on your person, everything else lives in the boot of your car — which makes your vehicle a mobile armoury, not just transport. The practical consequences: losing your car mid-job can mean losing access to your heavy weapons; choosing a vehicle for a mission now includes thinking about what's stored in it; and the RPG or grenade launcher you rarely need no longer wastes a carry slot — it waits in the trunk until the armoured response shows up. Park deliberately. Your car is infrastructure now.
