GTA 6 Police Car: the Vapid Police Cruiser (Interceptor)

The sedan Vice City and Vice-Dale police drive in Rockstar’s first trailer — white, with blue or green stripes and an LED light bar. Rockstar has not named it; in GTA V the same Vapid model is the Police Cruiser.

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.

Which police car is in GTA 6 — and where it has been seen

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.

Has the Police Cruiser (Interceptor) been seen in GTA 6?

Shown, not stated

Yes — in Trailer 1 at 1:07.

Two cruisers, one Vice City Police and one Vice-Dale Police, block a Vice City intersection beside a Buffalo STX Pursuit (Trailer 1 at 1:07). 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.

What police cars are in GTA 6?

Shown, not stated

This Vapid cruiser and at least six more police vehicles appear in Rockstar’s trailers and artwork — none of them named by Rockstar.

In the trailers: this cruiser (Trailer 1 at 1:07; GTA Wiki also places one at 0:45 in Trailer 2); a Crown Victoria-style Vapid police car in Leonard County Sheriff colors with a police SUV (Trailer 1 at 1:00); a ghost-livery Vapid car whose markings only show in headlights (Trailer 2, 0:45 by GTA Wiki’s count); and the Buffalo STX Pursuit (Trailer 1 at 1:07, later on the cover art). Vice-Dale police also run a Bison police truck, and Rockstar’s artwork of Jason and Lucia adds a police helicopter and a police boat. The names are the community’s; Rockstar prints none.

Still open — Which of them chase you at which wanted level — Rockstar has not said.

Which police departments are in GTA 6?

Shown, not stated

Four liveries so far: Vice City Police, Vice-Dale Police, Leonard County Sheriff and Vice Beach Police.

This cruiser wears two of them in Trailer 1 — white with blue stripes for Vice City, white with green for Vice-Dale. The Leonard County Sheriff’s green-and-white is on the Vapid police car responding in Trailer 1, and Vice Beach Police is on the police boat in Rockstar’s artwork. Each name is read off a door or a hull, not announced.

Still open — Whether more agencies exist, and where each one’s turf ends.

What real car is the GTA 6 police cruiser based on?

Said on record

The Ford Police Interceptor Sedan — the police Taurus — according to GTA Wiki, GTABase and GTA BOOM.

GTA Wiki adds that the GTA 6 model was redrawn closer to the real car than GTA V’s, front and rear, with a C-pillar trim that recalls the ninth-generation Chevrolet Impala; Trailer 2’s close view shows new tail lights and the plate moved to the bumper. The readings are the community’s, not Rockstar’s.

Is the “GTA 6 police car” sold at auction real?

Said on record

That claim is the seller’s: an August 2025 listing said its 2013 Chevrolet Caprice was 3D-scanned into GTA 6. Rockstar has not confirmed it.

Dexerto and GamesRadar both quoted the Kraft Auctions listing — “one of the actual used models for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI video game and was 3D scanned directly into the game” — and Dexerto noted that confirmation would likely come only after a sale. The police cruiser in Rockstar’s trailers is read by GTA Wiki and GTABase as a Ford Police Interceptor Sedan, not a Caprice.

Still open — Whether any Caprice-style police car is in the game at all.

How many wanted stars does GTA 6 have?

Shown, not stated

Six are visible on the HUD in the Extended Look — and a crime needs a witness or an alarm before any star comes, Rockstar North’s Rob Nelson told IGN.

The star meter in the 27 August 2026 footage has room for six, one more than GTA V; the chase shown runs at four. Nelson’s words to IGN: “The Wanted system in GTA 6 requires that someone witness the crime, or an alarm needs to be set off for it to be reported to the law.” What the sixth star brings, Rockstar has not said.

Still open — What changes at the fifth and sixth star, and which police vehicles join.

Does GTA 6 have a six-star wanted level?

Has the Police Cruiser (Interceptor) been in earlier GTA games?

Stated

Yes — GTA V and 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.

How we checked this page

We started from the frames, not from lists. GTA Wiki's Buffalo STX Pursuit page puts this cruiser at 1:07 in Trailer 1, and GTA BOOM describes the same intersection on its own; Trailer 2 at 0:45 rests on GTA Wiki alone (outlawdb copies it), so it is a card, not a frame. The auctioned 'GTA 6 police car' traces back to the seller's listing as Dexerto and GamesRadar quoted it. Police speeds and star thresholds printed elsewhere were left out: Rockstar has published neither.
