After a wait of 16 months and the unfortunate news that the game will delayed until May 2026, Rockstar Games dropped the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI and we went looking for all the cars that are in it.
Grand Theft Auto, one of the juggernauts of the gaming industry of which the last entry in the series GTA V released all the way back in 2013. It has been a long time coming, but even after its first teaser dropped in December 2023 - amassing 250 million views in 24 hours - it was still uncertain when GTA VI would release.
After a tentative late 2025 release window was placed, the game has been delayed but now with a set release of May 26th 2026. To soften the blow, Rockstar Games have just released the first full trailer going more in depth on the lives of the two main characters, Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval.
Yes, we may be a dedicated racing game website and strictly speaking, GTA 6 is not one of those, but it does have a heavy emphasis on cars. Plus, in GTA Online there are four open wheel cars that have tyre wear playing a factor in races.
So with all that being said, let's take a look at all the cars we can decipher in the second GTA 6 trailer.
On a highway, Jason is behind a load of pickups but also a blue sports car which is an Invetero Coquette, which even by not seeing it, the name gives away that it is a Chevrolet Corvette, specifically a C7 generation model. Of course, there are a few police cars since when you are living a criminal lifestyle, the law will always be following and one of the cars we spotted was a Bravado Buffalo STX, based on a 2015 Dodge Charger.
Then of course the shot we have for the header, featuring a car with wheel rims that stick out like Boudicea spikes. The car appears to resemble the Benefactor Schafter - based on a range of Mercedes saloon/sedan cars - but with a slightly different look compared to the Schafter that is found in the previous game.

Behind that car are a bunch of very identifiable ones. There is the Bravado Banshee (2nd gen Dodge Viper), Pfister Growler (Porsche 718 Cayman) and the Emperor Vectre (facelifted Lexus RC F). Also, what most certainly resembles a Lamborghini Reuvelto, although such a car did not appear in a previous GTA game but perhaps safe to assume it will fall under the brand that most Lambos do in these games, Pegassi.
Speaking of which, Jason jumps from a motorcycle into the back of a moving truck where a car is being transported. Whether it is the same car or not, we cannot tell but the rear is distinctively one that looks like it is based on a Lamborghini as well.
The trailer ends with Lucia and Jason driving off in the same car they appear in from the first trailer, the Declasse Tulip which is based on a 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu. However from official artwork, Jason's actual car would appear to be a ute that resembles a fifth generation Ford Ranchero with elements from a Holden HR ute. The only previous ute to appear in the GTA series was the Cheval Picador, and this ute has a Vapid badge, the GTA universe equivalent to Ford.

Grand Theft Auto VI will release for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on May 26th 2026 (assuming there are no more delays), with no PC release confirmed just yet although some rumours hint at the game being available for PC as early as 2027.

GTA 6 Trailer 2 Cars
Starting off the trailer, we see the first of the two protagonists, Jason, getting visited by his landlord Brian, who is driving a massive pickup. The truck is a Vapid Caracara, which resembles a second generation Ford Raptor. Jason then drives off to run errands and is gawked at by the local ladies, one of whom is stood next to a Maibatsu Penumbra, modelled on a fourth generation Mitsubishi Eclipse.On a highway, Jason is behind a load of pickups but also a blue sports car which is an Invetero Coquette, which even by not seeing it, the name gives away that it is a Chevrolet Corvette, specifically a C7 generation model.
