When Colin Hedgeworth steals the Dodge Charger (with white seats) he mistakenly backs into the showroom. The inside shot of the shift console shows a blue vinyl console, obviously very old and dirty, with black seats. There is, additionally, some graffiti "smudged" onto the console. This is clearly a shot of a different vehicle than the nice, "like new" Charger represented.

Does this movie have any connection to the video game series?

No, the games aren't based on the movie. They just have the same title, being that grand theft auto is a common term for car theft.But in the game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, there is a small reference to this movie.
