GTA 6 has delivered an emotional rollercoaster over the last few days.
Last Friday, we got the news of the flagship game being delayed until May 2026.
Well, yesterday saw Rockstar Games release the second trailer for the game.
And fans got their first insights into some of the cars available within the Vice City limits.

Trucks play a big role in Vice City life
Fans of the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) franchise will tell you how much the game imitates the real world.
And it appears that GTA 6 is very much continuing that trend with cars in Vice City.
The new trailer introduces us to a new protagonist, Jason Duval.
And in the very opening scene, we are shown a stunning rendition of a pickup truck.
It appears to be a very close tribute to something of a Ford Raptor truck parked outside.
This truck is silver with a striking black stripe painted down the middle.
Further into the trailer, we see a pickup (presumably driven by Jason).
In what appears to be a tribute to the film Fast Five, this pickup truck is hauling a safe.
And it is destroying quite a lot of things that are in its path.
Definitely be on the lookout for trucks to feature strongly in GTA 6.
Classic cars remain integral to GTA 6
Of course, one finds the usual abundance of supercars present within Vice City.
But a very subtle indicator has been pointed towards respecting the classics, too.
At the opening of the trailer, Jason is spotted driving around Vice City.
And it appears to be a Chevrolet El Camino-inspired classic powering Jason around the city.
Another scene shows Jason driving to Leonida Penitentiary in the fictitious Florida.
He appears to be shown picking up his partner (in crime), Lucia Caminos, from prison.
And we get our clearest shot of the El Camino-inspired weapon of choice.
The closing scene shows Jason and Lucia (literally) driving off into the sunset.
And they appear to be driving off in a 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu.
What is clear, even from the two trailers, is the impressive accuracy of the engine noises in-game.
We can only hope that the full game lives up to the excitement already generated.
