Car Theft & Driving
ReportedReported by press previews or reliable outlets, not stated by Rockstar· Updated Nov 14, 2026
Security tiers, slim jims, key cloners and GPS trackers. Stealing a supercar takes planning now.
- Security tiers: expensive cars are much harder to steal.
- Older cars: open them with a slim jim (a quick-time event) or by breaking a window.
- Luxury cars: need key-cloning tools, and some of those unlock later in the story.
- GPS trackers: some cars report to police on their own. Outrun the signal or ditch the car.
- WAINK app: check a car's value, locks, alarm and tracker before you touch it.
- Carjacking someone in a car still works and is still risky.
- Trunks: store weapons and a change of clothes in your car. One report says weapons you buy go to the trunk automatically.
- Personal vehicles: own several and keep them in garages at your safehouse.
- Handling: previews praise the suspension and the weight of braking and acceleration.
