Rockstar’s GTA 6 got its first real gameplay leak today, and while most of the internet is talking about Jason shooting hoops, the car-spotting community has already moved on to more important business: identifying every vehicle visible on Leonida’s streets. The footage, shared by a group called Cyberleek on August 18, is brief — roughly a minute of Jason at his house, plus a second clip showing him driving on the highway and getting into a brawl — but it’s enough to start building a picture of the game’s vehicle roster ahead of the official Netflix Extended Look on August 27.

The timing matters. GTA 6 launches November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and Rockstar hasn’t released an official vehicle list. Community trackers have already catalogued around 163 vehicles by name from trailers and official screenshots, out of an estimated 200-plus total. The leaked footage adds a few more data points — and the details visible even in this early build suggest Rockstar has raised the bar significantly from GTA 5.

The driving clip is the more useful of the two for vehicle spotters. Jason is seen behind the wheel of a car on a Leonida highway before turning into oncoming traffic and colliding with a vehicle badged as a “Scoop” delivery van — a new in-game brand that community members are already cross-referencing against real-world commercial van proportions. The highway sequence is short, but background traffic is visible, and frame-by-frame breakdowns circulating in the community are pulling plate-level detail from the footage.

The residential clip, set at Jason’s house — the same property shown at the start of GTA 6’s second official trailer — briefly shows a boat in the driveway that matches a watercraft Rockstar had previously revealed. It’s a small confirmation, but it tells you the vehicle roster visible in official materials is consistent with what’s in the actual build.

The GTA 6 Car Roster: 200-Plus Vehicles And What’s Been Confirmed

Based on community tracking across trailers and official screenshots, GTA 6’s vehicle lineup is already shaping up to be the most diverse in the series. The count sits at more than 200 vehicles, with roughly 163 identified by name — a figure that dwarfs GTA 5’s launch roster and rivals its fully-expanded GTA Online catalog.

The classes confirmed so far span cars, motorcycles, boats, planes, and hovercrafts. One standout new addition is a swamp airboat — a rear-propeller craft designed to navigate the Grassrivers wetlands of Leonida — which represents a vehicle type never before seen in the GTA series. On the high-performance end, community trackers have spotted Ferrari-style supercars with enough visual specificity to suggest Rockstar is modeling current-generation exotics rather than recycling GTA 5’s aging templates.

The muscle car contingent is already generating serious discussion. One vehicle spotted in Trailer 1 — a red car drifting through the Ambrosia district — shows a coke-bottle body profile, black hood stripes, and a split front fascia that the community has broadly identified as referencing a 1970 Chevelle SS. That’s the kind of specific, era-correct modeling that GTA 5’s Declasse Vigero could only approximate.

Interior Detail And Realism: A Genuine Step Up From GTA 5

One of the clearest upgrades visible even in the leaked footage is the level of interior fidelity. GTA 6 vehicles feature functional rearview mirrors, visible pedals, and detailed seat geometry — details that GTA 5 never rendered at this level, even in first-person mode. For a series that built its reputation on letting players feel like they’re actually inside the car, this is a meaningful jump.

The leaked HUD also hints at new mechanical systems. A fuel gauge is visible during the driving sequence — suggesting fuel management may be a factor in GTA 6 in a way it never was in GTA 5. If that mechanic extends to vehicles broadly, it changes how players interact with the car roster in a fundamental way. Vehicle storage also appears as a UI element, with Jason’s car showing a 0/4 loadout capacity — which may indicate cars can carry gear independently of the player’s inventory.

What To Watch For On GTA 6 Extended Look On August 27

The Netflix Extended Look, premiering at 3 PM ET on August 27 before hitting Rockstar’s own channels six hours later, is where the vehicle roster will almost certainly get its proper showcase. Rockstar’s official reveals have historically used vehicle variety as a visual flex — expect the presentation to cycle through multiple classes and show off the customization system that GTA 5’s LS Customs made famous.

Customization details remain unconfirmed. Rockstar hasn’t said anything specific about how GTA 6’s equivalent of Los Santos Customs will work, but the functional interiors and increased mechanical simulation visible in the leaked footage strongly suggest the system will go deeper than GTA 5’s. Whether that means engine swaps, suspension tuning, or something entirely new is still an open question — one the August 27 reveal should answer.

For now, this is car-spotting detective work at its best. The community has nine more days to comb through every frame of the Cyberleek footage before Rockstar makes it official. Given what’s already visible in a single minute of early-build gameplay, the full roster is going to be worth the wait.
