GTA VI launches on November 19, 2026, and Rockstar has shown six real cars built by West Coast Customs: a Cheetah, Tempesta, Emerus, Coquette, Buccaneer lowrider and Manana donk. If you could take just one of them into Vice City, which would it be? And do you think the "Only in Dade" video is really in-game footage?
Video: "Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2", official Rockstar Games YouTube channel (published May 6, 2025). It is a general trailer for the game, not a video about these cars or the "Only in Dade" clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQRLujxTm3c
What the sources say (the details are in our article):
- The six cars named by Hypebeast (November 6, 2026) are the Grotti Cheetah, Pegassi Tempesta, Progen Emerus, Invetero Coquette, Albany Buccaneer (lowrider) and Albany Manana (donk).
- Complex (November 7, 2026), quoting a press release, says Rockstar partnered with West Coast Customs and that the cars were filmed around Miami with Leonida plates.
- GamingBolt (November 13, 2026) reports that an "Only in Dade" account posted what looks like GTA VI footage on Ocean Drive, and says Rockstar confirmed it by reposting it to its Instagram story. We found this in one outlet only.
- Not confirmed: which real cars sit under the bodywork, whether these cars will be shown or sold to the public, and any effect on gameplay.
Our questions:
- Which of the six would you pick first in GTA VI, and why: the Cheetah, Tempesta, Emerus, Coquette, Buccaneer or Manana?
- Lowrider (Buccaneer) or donk (Manana): which style would you rather drive in Vice City?
- Do these real builds make you want the in-game versions more, or is it just marketing to you?
- The "Only in Dade" video: did it look like in-game footage to you, or did you doubt it at first?
- Would you like Rockstar to show more real-world tie-ins before launch, or keep the surprises for the game?
