Fans waiting for Grand Theft Auto 6 can now own a real piece of gaming history, as a genuine police cruiser featured in the upcoming title is being auctioned off.
While the countdown to Grand Theft Auto 6 continues, one lucky fan could soon be driving a piece of Rockstar history — literally. A real 2013 Chevrolet Caprice, the exact model used by Rockstar Games to design Vice City’s police cruisers, has appeared on a public auction site.
What makes this even more fascinating is that the car wasn’t just an inspiration — it was actually 3D-scanned for the game. In other words, when GTA 6 finally launches, you’ll be able to hop into a digital version of this very same vehicle.
The auction started with a modest $10 opening bid, but as expected, prices have already climbed way higher. According to the listing:
This vehicle is one of the real-world models used in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6. It was 3D-scanned directly into the game, so players will be able to drive an exact replica once GTA 6 is released.
The Caprice is fully functional and road-legal — siren, lights, push bumper, and all. The car’s even decorated with the Vice City Police Department emblem, giving it the kind of screen-accurate look that most collectors only dream about. Whoever wins the auction will quite literally be driving a GTA 6 patrol car months before the game itself hits consoles.
It’s a cool reminder of how far Rockstar is pushing realism this time around. Red Dead Redemption 2 set new standards for lifelike animation with its horses and wildlife, but GTA 6 seems poised to do the same for vehicles. Scanning actual cars, down to their smallest dents and reflections, shows just how obsessed the studio is with detail.
For fans, this auction isn’t just a fun collectible — it’s a glimpse behind the curtain at Rockstar’s creative process. And while most of us will have to wait until launch day to cruise Vice City’s streets, one lucky bidder might already be living that dream — sirens blazing.
