GTA 6: Exciting feature accidentally leaks through GTA Online
Most leaks surrounding Rockstar's massive upcoming game have been coming from data miners or insiders. This new one, however, came from a sunstrip menu. A player on r/GTA6 noticed something quite odd (see below) while customizing the Coquette D10 — a car claimable from the Chop Shop last week — in GTA Online's mansion vehicle workshop.
Instead of the usual "Custom sunstrips" description every other vehicle usually displays, the D10 showed something way more specific: "The Vehicle Identification Number is a unique code used to identify individual vehicles. This has already been removed from the vehicle."
VINs don't really exist anywhere in GTA V or GTA Online. The mechanic plays no role in either game. The question is, where did this description come from?

The leading theory — and it's a pretty convincing one — is that a Rockstar developer accidentally left behind a fragment of GTA 6 code when porting the D10 to GTA Online. The car does show up in GTA 6 trailers, and the description specifically references removing a VIN, which could only mean that the mechanic actively matters in that game. The player who discovered it tested both the D10 Pursuit and the Tigon from the same LS Summer Special update; neither showed the message, and buying a brand new D10 didn't reproduce it either.
This is also in line with past details from the 2022 Rockstar leak, which described a suspect profiling system where NPCs would relay information to police about Jason and Lucia's appearance, vehicle colour, and license plates. A VIN-based system, if true, would fit naturally into that framework — stolen cars flagged as "hot" until the identification is stripped, not very different from how Red Dead Redemption 2 handled wanted levels.
The post has cleared 1.2K upvotes in under seven hours. Rockstar hasn't said anything, which isn't surprising, really.
