Rockstar lists Standard and Ultimate on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The boxed Standard release contains a code for the digital download. Rockstar says there is no disc in the box. Its release schedule puts both consoles at midnight local time on November 19.
The Stanier belongs to the Vintage Vice City Pack

The ’55 Vapid Stanier sedan and garage are part of the Vintage Vice City Pack. Rockstar lists the pack for digital preorders and eligible digital purchases before November 20, and for physical preorders. That makes it a launch offer attached to eligible purchases across both editions.
Ultimate adds a different set of vehicles

The Ultimate Edition Upgrade lists the ’95 Grotti Cheetah and the ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy with its garage, among other extras. Rockstar says the bonuses are spread across the story, and Standard Edition owners can purchase the upgrade separately.
What’s worth comparing
Editorial analysis Source 1
Look at the named extras before you decide whether the upgrade matters to you. If the classic sedan is what caught your eye, check Vintage Vice City Pack eligibility first. If the Cheetah or buggy is the draw, those are on the Ultimate list. The edition notes describe what’s included, with individual unlock conditions still to be checked in play.
