IGN: GTA 6 marketing in Miami with Leonida plates and VCPD Lamborghini
IGN reports a GTA 6-themed car show in Miami with Leonida plates, a VCPD Lamborghini, and other custom cars.
- The report also mentions other vehicles, including a McLaren reportedly turned into a real-life version of the Progen Emerus, plus models resembling the Cheetah, Coquette D10, Tempesta, and Manana.
- The supplied sources link the stunt to Rockstar Games, but do not provide direct official confirmation from Rockstar itself for the car show.
What happened
IGN published an article on 16 October 2026 claiming that Rockstar Games appears to be marketing GTA 6 in Miami with a street show of modified real-world cars. According to the article, the vehicles drove through the city in a convoy and carried Leonida license plates, a reference to the fictional state in GTA 6.
One of the most eye-catching vehicles was, according to IGN, a Lamborghini with VCPD branding, a nod to the Vice City Police Department from the Grand Theft Auto series. The report also references a tweet from @videotech, which describes the stunt as a street car showcase in Miami with Leonida plates and a VCPD-liveried Lamborghini.
IGN also names several other cars that the article says were modeled after GTA 6 vehicles. These include a McLaren that was reportedly converted into a real-life version of the Progen Emerus, along with cars resembling the Cheetah, Coquette D10, Tempesta, and Manana.
Broader coverage from the same day also mentions a Vice City blimp and branded beach chairs and umbrellas as possible parts of a Miami campaign for GTA 6. Based on the supplied sources, though, it remains unclear whether all of these activations are part of one coordinated campaign and whether the car show itself was officially organized by Rockstar.

Background
GTA 6 is set in Vice City, the fictional version of Miami, with the surrounding region of Leonida standing in for Florida. That makes Leonida plates and a VCPD livery fit naturally with the game’s setting.
However, the available sources include an important caveat: the observations come mainly from social posts and secondary reporting, not from an explicit statement by Rockstar Games. That means Rockstar’s exact role in the Miami stunt remains unclear in the supplied information.
