The business jet crossing the sky far above Vice Beach 21 seconds into Trailer 1. Fans read it as the Buckingham Nimbus, GTA Online’s eight-seat private jet; Rockstar has not named it, and the frame is too distant to settle more.
Identified
Identified in Rockstar’s footage by outside editors; Rockstar has not named it. Rockstar has published no vehicle statistics for GTA 6, so this page prints none.
Each answer carries how settled it is and who settled it. Where nobody has said, the card says that instead of guessing — and says what stays open even after the answer.
Yes — in Trailer 1 at 0:21.
Nimbus flying in distance over Vice Beach skyline (Trailer 1 at 0:21). These are identifications made from Rockstar’s own footage — Rockstar has not named the vehicle in any of them.
Still open — Whether it can be driven, bought or modified — none of that shows in a frame.
A Cessna Citation X, by the most common reading; GTA Wiki sees a blend, with a Citation Longitude body and tail and a Gulfstream G550 cockpit and engines.
GTABase names the Cessna Citation X. GTA Wiki splits it three ways: the fuselage, tail and paint of the Cessna Citation Longitude, the nose, lower fuselage and wings of the Citation X, and the cockpit and engines of the Gulfstream G550. One GTA 5 reference names the Bombardier Global Express instead — the jet GTA Wiki ties to a different Buckingham plane, the Miljet. All three describe the GTA Online model; the Trailer 1 jet is too far away to tell them apart.
Still open — Rockstar never names the real aircraft it draws from — and the GTA 6 frame is a distant silhouette.
Rockstar has not said. In GTA Online the Nimbus is an eight-seat jet sold through Elitás Travel since June 2016.
The only GTA 6 sighting is a jet crossing the sky over Vice Beach in Trailer 1. Nothing Rockstar has published says whether jets can be flown, bought or kept in a hangar. In GTA Online the Nimbus arrived with the Further Adventures in Finance and Felony update on 7 June 2016, seats eight and is bought from the Elitás Travel website — GTA 6 may keep none of that.
Still open — Whether GTA 6 lets you fly, buy or store jets at all.
Yes — GTA Online.
The name returns from Rockstar’s earlier releases, which GTA Wiki lists for it. What carries over is the name and the maker; whether GTA 6’s model drives or costs the same is not known.
Still open — Whether anything beyond the name and the look carries over.
Not announced. The same plane costs $1,900,000 in GTA Online.
Rockstar has published no GTA 6 vehicle prices. $1,900,000 is the price in GTA Online, the previous game, as GTA Wiki records it; nothing says GTA 6 will keep it.
Still open — The GTA 6 price, and whether it can be bought at all rather than taken.
Three references disagree on the real jet, and all three are kept: GTABase says Cessna Citation X, GTA Wiki a blend of the Citation Longitude, Citation X and Gulfstream G550, and one GTA 5 site the Bombardier Global Express — a type GTA Wiki assigns to the Miljet instead. The 0:21 sighting is GTA Wiki’s; GTA-XTREME logs it at 0:22. The $1,900,000 price and the June 2016 release were confirmed on both GTABase and GTA Wiki.
