GTA 6 Vehicle Callouts: Real-World Prototypes In the Trailer

Every vehicle in the GTA series, from cars to motorcycles to helicopters, has a real-world counterpart. The upcoming sixth installment sticks to that tradition. A close look at the first trailer reveals plausible matches to the showcased machines across the video.

The opening frame features a bridge crowded with vehicles passing in both directions. A number of these models are faithful re-creations or familiar reappearances from earlier entries in the franchise.

1. A boat on the trailer resembles the American Bryant 219 and echoes the Suntrap found in GTA 5.

2. The vessel carries a 1981 Chevrolet C pickup, a staple that has appeared in every modern GTA title under the Bobcat alias.

3. An MCI Renaissance bus drives into oncoming traffic, a vehicle that in GTA 5 was named Dasound.

4. On the far side, a Peterbilt 359 EXHD truck can be seen. In GTA 4 it was known as Phantom.
