GTA 6: 10 Classic Vehicles That MUST Return

When GTA 6 finally hits, the feverishly anticipated next edition of such an iconic franchise will cause a seismic shift in gaming's landscape.

Though no-one's quite sure what to expect regarding its setting, its characters, or even its release date, there are certain things that GTA 6 must include - namely, classic vehicles from its storied past. Wasting unfortunate pedestrians and completing increasingly bombastic missions are all well and good, but the series ultimately comes down to stealing vehicles at the press of a button. It's in the name, after all.

Fond memories of any prior GTA title are likely to include toggling between radio stations after acquiring a new set of wheels - legally or otherwise. Players have differing desires for where the next game needs to take place, and how it should be played. Let's not forget the most important aspect, however.

If it doesn't feature the trademark vehicles we've known and loved, is it really a true Grand Theft Auto title?

Don't let Snow Patrol mislead you; we're not just chasing cars, but also planes, trains and painted flames. These are the vehicles we need to see in GTA 6.

Appeared in: GTA III, GTA: Vice City, GTA: San Andreas, GTA: Liberty City Stories, GTA: Vice City Stories, GTA IV, GTA: Chinatown Wars, GTA V, GTA Online

This gargantuan gas-guzzler is a mainstay of the franchise, and with its bullet-consuming battering ram bulk exterior, it’s little wonder.

Deployed varyingly through the series from a civilian SUV to a strictly military monstrosity, the high-seated Hummer-parody gives players the feeling of steering a veritable beast on wheels as it careens through the streets. Few can stand before it, as evidenced by the resulting wreckage of those more pedestrian cars unfortunate enough to get in the way.

It’s hardly the most accessible of vehicles; in the early games the Patriot would appear mostly during short-lived five-star wanted level pursuits, meaning the player would usually find themselves promptly wasted in a hail of bullets if they tried to grand theft this particular auto.

Once you do manage to get behind the wheel, however, it’s a singular thrill that must be replicated in GTA 6.
