Video: Rockstar releases extended gameplay GTA VI footage, insane detail

The highly anticipated rollout for Grand Theft Auto VI has continued, with Rockstar Games dropping an unexpected 26-minute gameplay deep dive that provides our clearest look yet at the digital automotive landscape of Vice City. While the footage focuses heavily on the game’s central narrative and criminal underworld, the background traffic and getaway sequences have finally confirmed several new, highly detailed vehicles for the upcoming title.

For automotive enthusiasts, the standout reveal is a new high-performance supercar utilised during a critical getaway sequence. Sporting dramatic dihedral doors, heavily sculpted side intakes, and an aggressive rear diffuser, the in-game exotic appears to be a direct, legally distinct amalgamation of the modern McLaren 720S and the hybrid Artura, signalling a massive leap in the franchise’s vehicle modelling fidelity.

Elsewhere in the footage, the focus shifts to the luxury segment. A sequence involving the fictional ‘Mega Mundo’ corporation showcased a massive, armour-plated executive SUV. The vehicle’s sheer scale, prominent upright grille, and slab-sided profile draw unmistakable parallels to the current-generation Cadillac Escalade V, perfectly tailored for the game’s depiction of Florida’s corrupt elite.

GTA VI gameplay tuner cars

The extended look also confirms a deep reverence for retro muscle and 2000s street tuner culture. Fleeting chase sequences revealed a late-70s pony car inspired by the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, it seems, complete with a screaming chicken-style hood graphic, alongside a lowered, modified Japanese sedan bearing a striking resemblance to the Toyota Chaser.

With Grand Theft Auto VI slated for a global release on November 19, Rockstar is clearly leveraging the vibrant, diverse car culture of Miami to build its most authentic and expansive vehicle roster to date. Check out the trailer below. It is age-restricted and you may have to click through and watch it on YouTube. It’s worth the 26min runtime.
