Following the release of GTA Online’s most recent two content updates, many fans have talked about how the new vehicles have been “backported” from GTA VI. In the first Grand Theft Auto VI trailer, we saw plenty of vehicles which were not in GTA V/GTA Online. Since then, Rockstar Games have released those cars into the game.
