Rockstar has confirmed more than 200 vehicles across cars, motorcycles, helicopters, planes and boats, all with fully interactive interiors. That last detail is the one worth pausing on: 'fully interactive interior' on every vehicle in a 200-strong roster is an enormous amount of art budget, and it signals how much of the game is expected to be spent inside a car.

The systems around vehicles changed more than the roster did. Fuel is a real resource and gas stations refuel and repair. Crash damage is dramatically more detailed than GTA V's, with heavy collisions triggering a brief slow-motion effect. And with the new inventory limit, your trunk is your armoury - Which turns 'where did I leave the car' into an actual tactical problem.

This hub tracks the confirmed roster and the systems. Because Rockstar names vehicles slowly and the full list will not be public before launch, we mark every entry with how it was confirmed.

Vehicles named in official material

The short list Rockstar has put in writing. Most of it comes from the Ultimate Edition contents and from cars named in trailers.

Why the trunk changes the game

In GTA V a car got you to the mission. In GTA VI the car is the mission's logistics.

You carry two rifles and two pistols. Everything else lives in the vehicle, which is why the carry limit and the trunk are really one system.

What that costs you when it goes wrong

Lose the vehicle mid-firefight and you lose everything that was not in your hands.

It is a small rule with large effects. Parking becomes a decision. Stealing a car mid-mission becomes a repair strategy rather than a joyride. Police pursuit gains a second layer of pressure GTA V never had.

What the trunk system changes

Four knock-on effects of one rule.

  • Parking matters. Where you leave the car decides what you can reach
  • Stealing a car becomes repair. Not a joyride, a resupply run
  • Prep is a decision. You choose the loadout before you leave
  • Pursuit gains a layer. Losing the car costs more than losing the chase

Fuel and repair

Gas stations work. Vehicles use fuel and can be refilled, and footage suggests repairs happen there too.

This is Red Dead design, not GTA V design

Fuel is a simulation feature. It sits closer to Red Dead Redemption 2 than to GTA V.

It fits the wider pattern of GTA VI slowing the loop down, which our vehicle systems guide traces across the whole model.

The open question is pacing

How fast fuel drains has not been shown.

So we do not know whether it is a real constraint or a texture detail you top up between missions.

What has not been shown

How fast fuel drains. Whether damage is cosmetic or mechanical. How deep customisation goes.

None of those have been demonstrated, so none of them appear in our fact boxes. The customisation page tracks what is known.

Frequently asked questions

How many vehicles are in GTA 6?

More than 200 are confirmed across cars, motorcycles, boats, helicopters and planes, all with interactive interiors.

Do you need to refuel cars in GTA 6?

Yes. Fuel is a real system and gas stations can be used to refuel and apparently to repair.

Can you store weapons in your car in GTA 6?

Yes, and you have to. Your character carries two rifles and two pistols; everything else goes in the trunk.

Is the GTA 6 damage model better than GTA 5's?

Substantially. Deformation is far more detailed and heavy collisions trigger a short slow-motion effect.

What vehicles come with the Ultimate Edition?

A '95 Grotti Cheetah, a Shitzu Squalo boat and a '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy, alongside personalised weapons, apparel and Ultimate-only shops.
