For a video game that has been around for over a decade, you’d expect its content to become stale and less appealing. GTA 5, however, is only getting better. As they say, it’s like fine wine – gets better with age.
Grand Theft Auto 5 is one of those few video games that can be anything you want. For adventure seekers, GTA 5’s Los Santos offers ample opportunities to explore on foot and partake in exciting missions. Those fancying a life as an underworld criminal can step into the shoes of Trevor and wreak havoc on the innocent yet sarcastic civilians of Vinewood. For those wanting top-speed thrills behind the wheel, GTA 5’s fantastic arsenal of cars is there to serve.
With a prequel game this versatile, imagine what GTA 6 could offer if it follows the tradition.
Today though, we will be focusing on the vehicular aspect of GTA 5 and GTA Online. Although the fun multiplies while a pack of cop cars and helicopters chase you through the cities and countryside, it always pays to be in the right vehicle to outrun and outsmart them. Speed is always your best ally and thankfully, GTA 5 has a bunch of fast cars that are built to outrun anything.
Hence, we have browsed through the archives of Los Santos Customs and curated a list of the top 10 fastest cars that you can drive in GTA 5 and GTA Online.

Top fastest cars to take for a spin in ‘GTA 5’ and ‘GTA Online’
1. BF Weevil Custom
Top speed: 137.5 mph
In-game price: Dollar 980,000
The BF Weevil Custom is a hot rod based on the Weevil, a satirical version of the iconic Volkswagen Beetle. With a rated top speed of 137.5 mph, it is presently the fastest car in GTA 5 to drive. However, that high top speed comes at the cost of stability and handling. The BF Weevil Custom loves to spin its wheels, gets unsettled over bumps and undulated terrain, and is vulnerable to punctures during a police chase, courtesy of the exposed wheels.
2. Ocelot Pariah
Top speed: 136 mph
In-game price: Dollar 1,420,000
For the gentlemen and gentlewomen in GTA 5, the Ocelot Pariah is ideal for doing top-speed runs in Los Santos. The Pariah is inspired by the real-life Ferrari 812 Superfast and true to its inspiration, it clocks its top speed at 136 mph. That’s almost as fast as the hot-rod buggy and the best part is that you get fantastic handling to back such kinds of performance.
3. Grotti Itali RSX
Top speed: 135.30 mph
In-game price: Dollar 3,465,000
GTA’s version of the Ferrari SF90 Stradale is presently the third-fastest car in the game, offering a top speed of 135.3 mph. Although it’s unusual to see a mid-engined sports car being slower than a hot rod and a conventional grand tourer, the Grotti Itali RSX makes up for its speed deficit with its stunning bodywork and a hypercool active aerodynamic system. The Lamborghini Centenario-inspired paintwork is a sight to behold on the streets of Los Santos.
4. Pfister 811
Top speed: 132.5 mph
In-game price: Dollar 1,135,000
GTA 5’s equivalent of the Porsche 918 Spyder is among the fastest cars you can choose to evade police cars and win races. With a top speed of 132.5 mph and an all-wheel drive system, the Pfister 811 is a superb tool to ace the competition. The in-game description says that the 811 relies on a hybrid engine system to achieve its exhilarating performance.
5. Grotti Itali GTO Stinger TT
Top speed: 132.00 mph
In-game price: Dollar 2,380,000
Based on the real-life Ferrari Roma, the Grotti Itali GTO Stinger TT is one of the fastest cars in GTA 5. With its top speed clocked at 132 mph, it is insanely fast for a grand tourer. While that may be all you need to win races and evade the police, you should keep in mind that the Stinger TT has an extremely floaty suspension tuning, which eventually translates to poor handling at high speeds. Watch out for traction loss at triple-digit speeds.
6. Principle Deveste Eight
Top speed: 131.75 mph
In-game price: Dollar 1,795,000
The Deveste Eight is best recommended for those races where you don’t have to steer a lot. Based on the real-life Devel Sixteen supercar, the Deveste Eight offers great stability at high speeds in the straights, courtesy of its long wheelbase. However, it suffers in the corners as a result and may struggle in city street races. The Deveste Eight tries to make up for that with its beautiful bodywork but would you settle for it?
7. Lampadati Corsita
Top speed: 131.30 mph
In-game price: Dollar 1,795,000
The Lampadati Corsita is one of the prettiest cars in GTA 5 and we aren’t surprised – it’s based on the real-life Maserati MC20, which is one of the prettiest mid-engined Italian supercars. Performance is on the higher side with this one, especially in races where a lot of cornering is involved. When shown the straights though, the Corsita can sprint to 131.3 mph quickly. While performance mods are available for the vehicle, we recommend keeping this beauty stock.
8. Overflod Entity MT
Top speed: 131.25 mph
In-game price: Dollar 2,355,000
Any car enthusiast would identify the Entity MT as a fictional take on the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, one of the fastest cars ever produced. With the rear wing removed, the Entity MT manages to reach top speeds of 131.25 mph but frankly, we were expecting more. Nonetheless, this is a fancy car with unique bodywork and beefy performance to impress the Los Santos locals at car meet-ups and races.
9. Pegassi Torero XO
Top speed: 131 mph
In-game price: Dollar 2,890,000
Although not the fastest car in the game, the Pegassi Toreno XO is renowned in the GTA 5 community for its dream-like handling and swift acceleration without compromising on top speed. Its neo-retro Itlina looks are a tribute to the real-life Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4, which itself was a tribute to the original Countach from the 1980s. If you are looking to maintain a consistent pace throughout a race without skipping on cornering abilities, the Toreno XO is a must-have in your garage.
10. Bravado Banshee 900R
Top speed: 131 mph
In-game price: Dollar 565,000
The Bravado Banshee has been a fan favourite in the Grand Theft Auto universe since the days of GTA: SA. In GTA 5, the Bravado Banshee 900R is a representation of its fastest iteration with a top speed of 131 mph. Based on the real-life Dodge Viper, the Banshee 900R is known for achieving its top speed swiftly and with ample stability. However, the rear-wheel drive layout can unsettle it during corners.
