GTA 5 Online vehicle database

Racing and getting across the map

Straight-line speed is what wins long highway races and gets you to a mission start first, so these are simply the three quickest road cars we have a price for:

• Grotti Vigilante — 146.75 mph, $3,750,000
• Annis ZR380 Arena — 142.00 mph, $2,138,640
• Grotti Cartuccia GT — 139.00 mph, $2,395,000

Tight street circuits reward grip and braking more than top speed, which this test doesn't measure — treat this as a shortlist, not a race-winner guarantee.

First car on a starter budget

Early on, every dollar should go into something that earns money back. A car is a want, not a need, so we cap it at $500,000 and take the fastest options under that line:

• Pegassi Toros — 128.25 mph, $498,000
• Progen Itali GTB Custom — 127.50 mph, $495,000
• Benefactor Schafter V12 — 126.00 mph, $116,000

Not sure where the money comes from yet? Compare earners in the business profit calculator and the heist payout calculator before buying anything fast.

Carrying a crew to missions

If you play with friends, one four-seater means one trip instead of two. The fastest road vehicles with four or more seats that we have a seat count for:

• Pegassi Toreador — 4 seats, 135.25 mph, $4,250,000
• Annis Hardy — 4 seats, 128.25 mph, $1,380,000
• Übermacht Sentinel XS4 — 4 seats, 127.25 mph, $1,429,000

Seat counts are missing for part of the database, so a fast four-seater may be absent from this list.

Fighting and armored vehicles

Top speed tells you nothing about armor or weapons. For combat, use the separate weaponized vehicles list, and match the gun you carry with the weapon database.
