Florida police showcases seized Corvette with GTA 6 trailer

Luxury car seized from drug dealer becomes star in video inspired by the most anticipated game of the moment

The Florida Highway Patrol decided to embrace the GTA 6 vibe by showcasing its latest acquisition: a 2023 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray, seized during an anti-drug operation and now transformed into an official patrol vehicle.

To mark the car’s debut, the officers created a special video in partnership with YouTuber and law enforcement officer Nick OFF Duty. The video starts with a skit where two men watch the trailer for the new GTA while Tom Petty’s classic “Love Is a Long Road” plays in the background. Set in Leonida — the fictional universe inspired by Florida — the trailer serves as the setup for the scene.

“Man, I can’t wait to see this happen,” says one of the characters in the car. The other replies, “Why wait? We can do it now. No one’s going to catch us.” But before the duo can begin any cinematic escape, they are surprised by the new patrol car: the Corvette rolls into the scene, bringing the action to a halt.

According to the Highway Patrol, the car was seized during a joint operation with the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), which means it came at no cost to taxpayers. To adapt it to its new role, the vehicle was upgraded and equipped with the necessary features for police duty.

The Corvette is expected to be used in educational events, safe driving awareness campaigns, and recruitment efforts. “The Florida Highway Patrol is ready for GTA 6, revealing to the world for the first time its brand-new Chevy Corvette C8 fully equipped for patrol,” wrote Nick OFF Duty in the video description.

Meanwhile, anticipation for GTA 6 continues to grow. Rockstar is still promising a fall 2025 release, with no exact date or sign of a second trailer — at least for now.
