Airboat, at speed

Shot from inside the cockpit with the fan running and the hull up on the water, low sun ahead. The Grassrivers screenshot shows one parked; this shows what it does.

Class

Boat

Principe

Alvino V1

Jason's own bike, green with a worn #76 livery, and a new model rather than a returning one. We had this catalogued as an unnamed green sportbike off the official screenshot before the name surfaced, which is a rare case of a sighting and a name meeting in the middle.

Class

Bravado

Banshee

A series staple since the 3D era, identified in trailer analysis. Long bonnet, short tail, and historically a car that punishes carelessness.

Bicycle

Pedal bikes appear in street scenes. Rockstar has not detailed how they handle.

Towing a jet ski on a trailer across the causeway, which is a sentence that says more about the setting than any spec sheet would.

Albany

Buccaneer Custom

Reported as a lowrider conversion in official footage. Sits with the two lowriders we have catalogued from sightings rather than replacing them, because neither has a legible badge.

The lifted white pick-up parked at Brian Heder's stilt house, in the shot that opens the trailer's Keys sequence. Outlets identified it as the Caracara from the grille and the raised suspension.

Long forks, high bars and a rider in the trailer's closing run, with a floatplane crossing behind him. Reported as an Avarus; the frame supports a chopper and not much more.

Civilian airboat

Armed men sit on one with dead alligators across the deck. Flat-bottomed, cage-mounted fan, no draught to speak of.

A full-size motorhome, fitting for a state built around tourism and RV parks.

Albany

Classic full-size, tail-finned

Only the rear quarter and one tail fin are in frame, parked at the stilt house. Outlets read the fin as a 1959 Cadillac, which in Grand Theft Auto's naming is Albany's territory.

Classic sedan, blue

Wide whitewalls and a long body, cruising a street of shopfronts with a pink coupe and a van behind it.

Club cruisers

A full pack rides out through Ambrosia in formation. The riders wear ENFORCER patches, so this is a club rather than a group of commuters.

Pfister

Comet Retro Custom

Reported from Trailer 1: an air-cooled Porsche shape with a period body kit, which is the Benny's treatment applied to a classic rather than a modern car.

Vapid

Coupe utility, teal

Parked in Brian Heder's yard under the stilt house, with VAPID legible across the tailgate. A Ranchero-shaped car-based pick-up, sun-faded, on steel wheels. We are showing it as what is visible rather than picking between the two names reported for Jason's vehicle.

Vapid

Creado

Reported as Jason's own car, turquoise over black, carrying him through most of Trailer 2. See also the coupe utility below: Rockstar's Ultimate Edition copy names a Vapid Ganado at Jason's safehouse, and whether that is this car under another name has not been established.

Class

Crew-cab pickup, weathered

Sun-faded orange and white, sitting in dirt in the Wyman yard. Rockstar photographs cars in this condition deliberately.

Badge legible on a stars-and-stripes liveried car in the Wyman collection shots. The only vehicle in that yard whose name can actually be read.

Dirt bikes

Two riders sit mud-caked at an abandoned silo complex in Mount Kalaga National Park.

Motorcycle

Dirt bikes, street riders

A group riding wheelies down a residential street in daylight, one of them standing on the pegs. A separate sighting from the pair parked at the Mount Kalaga silos, and a different use of the same machine: this is the takeover scene the trailer's own news channel runs a segment about.

Green pick-up, Keys

Seen through the in-game social feed rather than in a clean shot, which is itself worth noting: the trailer shows a lot of the world through its own phone screens.

Pfister is the in-universe Porsche. A mid-engined coupe rather than anything with a back seat.

Dinka stands in for Honda. Small, cheap, and everywhere in Vice City traffic.

Kayak

A leisure object rather than a getaway vehicle, and its inclusion in a paid edition says Rockstar expects players to spend time on the water for its own sake.

Open-top, two people in the bed, crossing the causeway. Body-coloured steel wheels and a raised suspension.

Red and white, low over the forested hills of Mount Kalaga at sunset. Skids rather than wheels.

Light helicopter, olive

Low and fast over the wetland, olive drab, skids down. No visible law enforcement or military marking, so it is filed as what it is rather than as what it might belong to.

Lowrider, gold

Finished build at Rideout Customs, on wire wheels with playing-card detailing on the centres and a buttoned red interior.

Lowrider, green

Hydraulics up, in the middle of a crowd and a High Rollerz Lifestyle magazine caption. The lowrider scene is being written as a subculture rather than a vehicle class.
