Rosters & nameplates
GTA 6 Vehicles vs GTA 5
Comparing vehicle counts across two GTA games isn’t apples-to-apples — one has nine years of GTA Online updates behind it, the other hasn’t launched yet. Here’s the honest picture of what’s actually confirmed for GTA 6 so far and how it stacks up.
GTA 5, at launch (2013)
~250–300+
Commonly cited launch-day estimate. Grew to an estimated 800+ vehicles through nearly a decade of GTA Online content updates — figures vary by source and by how variants are counted.
GTA 6, pre-release
268
Confirmed or spotted across both trailers and Rockstar’s promotional material — before launch, and with no post-launch content included, since none exists yet.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
01 Will GTA 6 have more cars than GTA 5?
At launch, GTA 6’s day-one roster will likely be smaller than what GTA 5 grew into. GTA 5 shipped in 2013 with an estimated 250–300+ vehicles and expanded to 800+ through nearly a decade of GTA Online updates. GTA 6 currently has 268 vehicles confirmed or spotted across trailers and promo material — a pre-release count that will keep growing as Rockstar reveals more, and doesn’t yet reflect any post-launch content.
02 Are classic GTA vehicle nameplates returning in GTA 6?
Yes, several. Confirmed or spotted GTA 6 vehicles include long-running nameplates like the Sanchez dirt bike, the Cheetah Classic and Infernus Classic sports cars, the Faggio scooter, and the Blazer quad bike — alongside dozens of new, unnamed vehicle types spotted in trailer footage that don’t have official names yet.
03 Is the driving or damage model different in GTA 6?
Rockstar hasn’t published driving-physics specs for either game to directly compare. Trailer footage and reporting point to more granular vehicle damage and suspension behavior than GTA 5’s decade-old model, but until Rockstar details the handling system directly, treat any specific claim about physics as analysis, not confirmed fact.
04 Can I customize cars in GTA 6 like in GTA 5?
Not detailed yet. GTA 5 built an entire mod-shop economy (Los Santos Customs, Benny’s) around vehicle customization, much of it introduced or expanded post-launch via GTA Online. GTA 6’s Ultimate Edition confirms two exclusive mod shops (Rideout Customs and One-Eyed Willie’s) exist in the base game, which strongly implies a customization system, but Rockstar hasn’t detailed its scope.
