Thriving in San Andreas requires a great set of wheels, but just what are the best vehicles in Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto Online?
Vehicles are a necessity in GTA Online, as players need a means of transportation to traverse the expanse that is Los Santos. While every vehicle has something to offer, some stand above the rest. These vehicles excel in terms of performance, function, or other sought-after features. Many vehicles in GTA Online have devastating weaponry, formidable defenses, or impressive stats overall. However, most require a downright exorbitant cost to obtain, which is often not worth the hefty price. The most desirable vehicles are well worth the cost and possibly more, as they offer the same benefits as more expensive ones for a fair price.
Updated on August 8, 2024, by Rhenn Taguiam: With Rockstar Games finally revealing Grand Theft Auto 6, fans of the hit open-world crime series might be intrigued at just what the new Florida-inspired location will bring to the series. Thankfully, fans don’t necessarily have to wait a couple of months to engage in GTA’s crazy stories, as they can log into Grand Theft Auto Online to create their own riveting tales of high-octane chases, high-stakes heists, and high-risk criminal dealings. And for those who want to engage in crime in style, they can tour GTA Online in style with some of the series’ best vehicles.
34 Itali RSX
Top Speed: 133.82 mph (214.043 km/h)
When players go through the story of the “The Cayo Perico Heist” update in 2020, they get the opportunity to help install Moodymann as either the MC President or the VIP/CEO of The Music Locker. Doing this will unlock the Itali RSX from Legendary Motorsport, giving players access to one of the most stylish cars in the game. Designed similarly to various Ferrari vehicles, specifically the SF90 Stradale for its body and the F8 Tributo and SP38 Deborah for its other components, the Itali RSX is notable in GTA Online for its aerodynamic design, specifically with the prevalence of vents and airways throughout its body. Its base stats make it ideal for standard racing due to its above-average acceleration, allowing it to outrace other Super Vehicle Class vehicles. It can also be equipped with an Ignition and Remote Bomb for offense.
33 Western Company Besra
Top Speed: 189.25 mph (304.57 km/h)
The Western Company Besra has an overall profile that boasts a long canopy and a sharp nose similar to that of the P-996 LAZER. In the real world, this design is reminiscent of the Aero L-39 Albatros and other military jet trainers. Players can acquire the aircraft in GTA Online via Elitas Travel, and it's made available through Pegasus Lifestyle Management. When acquired in GTA Online, the Besra boasts excellent maneuverability and top speed. The Besra’s superb handling lets it handle complicated aerial stunts, with its rapid acceleration and deceleration allowing it to take off from and land on roads effortlessly.
32 Shitzu Longfin
Top Speed: 122 mph (196.340 km/h)
Upon acquisition, it seems the real-world inspiration of the Shitzu Longfin is the Magnun 44’ luxury speed boat, although its design in the game is akin to fellow GTA Online boats Squalo and Toro. While the majority of the Longfin’s design boasts a sleek and somewhat straightforward aesthetic, its true luster is seen in its cabin area with luxury wooden details. While players can find a Longfin in Cayo Perico, they cannot drive this variant of the boat. However, they can buy the Longfin via DockTease for $2.125M or for cheaper after completing the Cayo Perico Heist as the heist leader and using it as the approach vehicle. Performance-wise, the Longfin is the fastest Civilian Boat in GTA Online. Players need to adjust to its wide turns by using the handbrake, while its large size makes it difficult to pass through canals and narrow rivers. It’s unadvisable to ride the Longfin past obstacles and during storms as its weight makes it likelier to flip.
31 Benefactor BR8
Top Speed: 122.75 mph (197.547 km/h)
Players interested in taking their racing game to new heights should grab the Benefactor BR8, essentially one of the few Formula 1-inspired cars in GTA Online gameplay. The vehicle’s design seems inspired by various F1 cars specifically from the Red Bull Racing Team, with some components borrowed from late 80s and early 90s race cars. Performance-wise, the BR8 is the fastest open-wheel car for races. Its nature as an open-wheeler means it has excellent handling and braking, the latter of which can be used to manage difficult tight turns while accelerating. Despite the BR8’s excellent performance, it doesn’t allow players to use guns during drive-bys.
30 Mammoth F-160 Raiju
Top Speed: 232.50 mph (374.17 km/h)
Players who want to add a flair for the extreme to their GTA Online gameplay should probably save up to purchase the Mammoth F-160 Raiju. Inspired by the USAF’s Advanced Tactical Fighter and Joint Strike Fighter stealth fighter program, the Raiju can perform VTOL (vertical take-off and landing), which allows pilots to ride the aircraft with no need for runways. This alone can make its hefty 6.8-million dollar price tag all the more worthwhile, especially should players get it from Warstock Cache & Carry. Performance-wise, the Raiju is the fastest aircraft in the E&E and Enhanced versions of GTA Online. It also boasts the best handling compared to other aircraft, beating the Pyro and LF-22 Starling in terms of base acceleration. Its smaller frame makes it more maneuverable, allowing players to get into tighter spots. Its only setback is packing similar defenses as an ordinary aircraft, although its stealth mode allows it to fly undetected by enemy radars.
29 JoBuilt P-996 Lazer
Top Speed: 195.00 mph (313.82 km/h)
The JoBuilt P-996 Lazer has a more “traditional” jet appearance compared to other vehicles in Grand Theft Auto Online, making its design more akin to the F-16C Fighting Falcon with design elements from the F-20 Tigershark, Lockheed Martin X-35, and even a Eurofighter Typhoon. In turn, the vehicle does boast the third-highest top speed in the game while also having remarkable maneuverability that makes its 6.5-million dollar price point worthy of the investment. However, the P-996 Lazer might be too responsive for pilots, making it a tough aircraft to maneuver for beginners. It doesn’t help that the P-996 Lazer is more vulnerable compared to most planes that don’t have armor upgrades, and its lack of defenses against locked-on missiles means players need to use the plane’s innate handling to dodge them. The aircraft does come with Missiles and a Cannon to fight off foes, both of which perform decently well, especially when players try to outmaneuver other pilots.
28 Bravado Police Gauntlet Interceptor
Top Speed: 96.31 mph (155.00 km/h)
The Bravado Police Gauntlet Interceptor has obvious design inspirations from the Florida Highway Patrol’s slate of police cars, specifically the Highway Patrol Dodge Challenger. This basis for the GTA vehicle is fitting, as the Gauntlet Interceptor itself is an off-shoot of the Bravado Gauntlet Hellfire that is seemingly inspired by the Dodge Challenger SRTs Demon and Hellcat. In the case of the Gauntlet Interceptor, a player's GTA Online experience with the vehicle would find the car an imposing depiction of a state trooper-esque pursuit car. With these design elements in mind, this police vehicle can be a must-have despite its hefty 5.4-million dollar price tag. Despite its lack of wide-ranging features, the police aesthetic and the wide array of police paraphernalia inside the vehicle can make roleplaying sessions more engaging with the Gauntlet Interceptor.
27 Buckingham Swift Deluxe
Top Speed: 157.75 mph (253.87 km/h)
One way of attaining luxury in Grand Theft Auto Online gameplay would be the acquisition of the online title’s more expensive vehicles, with the Buckingham Swift Deluxe being a decent find for its hefty 5.1-million dollar price tag. Its inclusion in the “Ill-Gotten Gains Part 1” update is fitting for its appearance, as the Swift Deluxe is a modified Swift with gold plating with black stripes. Such is its “luxury” appeal that it can’t be modded to change equipment, and instead boasts a unique design. Performance-wise, the Swift Deluxe has top speeds and acceleration comparable to that of the Swift. Although its handling is similar to that of the Swift, this helicopter isn’t as easy to maneuver, especially since it tends to drift sideways. However, it can carry four passengers, making it an ideal choice for groups who want to fly around Los Santos in style.
26 Armored Kuruma
Top Speed: 101.25 mph (162.96 km/h)
The Kuruma’s popularity isn’t just for its high speed and decent handling for a compact car, but also due to the protection it offers players from bullets. Specifically, its bulletproof windows make it an ideal car for dealing with gunfire from both NPCs and other players. At $525,000, it can be bought from Southern San Andreas Super Autos, making it an affordable choice for players who want to enhance their GTA Online combat effectiveness. The Armored Kuruma is a sleek and fast car whose exceptional speed and maneuverability make it a decent choice for getting away from the cops or other players, especially if they’re pursuing players via gunfire. Its protection alone is worth the price, though it should be noted that its protection is less effective against explosive devices like sticky bombs and RPGs.
25 Pegassi Torero XO
Top Speed: 133.67 mph (215.50 km/h)
The Pegassi Torero XO is a car to obtain for those looking to flaunt style and performance. While it comes at the hefty cost of $3.9 million, it’s one of the better options among Super Cars in GTA Online. The Torero XO is a notable evolution of the Pegassi Torero, which itself was inspired by the De Tomaso Pantera. Its design and features are similar to that of the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37, with its styling and performance being a perfect match to the various high-speed vehicle options in the game. The Torero XO’s top speed is notable for its range compared to other Super Cars in the game, with its handling being similarly superior. In addition to this, the Torero XO’s above-average acceleration makes it an ideal option for players who are interested in standard races and vehicular combat scenarios.
24 Progen Emerus
Top Speed: 132.00 mph (212.43 km/h)
Among the top Super Cars in Grand Theft Auto Online, the Progen Emerus stands out for its excellent all-around stats, being the successor of the Progen T20. The Emerus’ design is an homage to the McLaren P1 and the Mercedes-AMG Project One. Available through Legendary Motorsport for the cost of $2.75 million, the Emerus remains one of the top Super Cars in the game due to its superior performance and handling capabilities. With a high acceleration and braking stat, players can safely navigate tight turns while maintaining impressive speeds. Its durability and armor also ensure that players won’t easily be put out of commission by other players during races and combat scenarios.
23 OPPRESSOR Mk II
Top Speed: 150.00 mph (241.40 km/h)
The Oppressor Mk II was part of the “Arena War” update, and it stands as a notable acquisition for players looking to add a futuristic touch to their combat abilities. Its design clearly draws from a hoverbike aesthetic with various sci-fi influences, making it both intimidating and stylish. With a base price of $3.8 million from Warstock Cache & Carry, the Oppressor Mk II boasts excellent top speeds and armor, making it ideal for both combat and racing. With homing rockets and a high speed, the Oppressor Mk II excels in aerial combat scenarios. It is well-regarded for its versatility and effectiveness in dealing with both other players and NPCs. The only downside is its limited maneuverability, making it harder to dodge enemy attacks during fast-paced aerial encounters.
22 Pegassi Zentorno
Top Speed: 127.00 mph (204.39 km/h)
The Pegassi Zentorno remains one of the top Super Cars in GTA Online due to its excellent all-around performance. Its design appears inspired by the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, making it one of the flashiest options in the game. Despite its high base cost of $725,000, players are likely to find it worth the investment due to its overall design and superior acceleration and handling. The Zentorno is a great option for standard racing and high-speed driving, particularly in street races, thanks to its exceptional maneuverability and durability. It remains a valuable choice for players who want to flaunt a vehicle that combines style with performance.
21 Enus Paragon R
Top Speed: 128.75 mph (207.09 km/h)
The Enus Paragon R has a sleek, luxurious design that would remind many of classic high-end cars. With a design inspired by the Bentley Continental GT, it stands out with its refined exterior and sharp aesthetic details. Its performance reflects a solid improvement over its base variant, the Paragon R, thanks to its excellent handling and top speed. The $905,000 base price from Legendary Motorsport reflects its premium status, making it an appealing option for players who want a blend of luxury and performance. Its overall stats make it a competitive choice for both races and high-speed street driving, offering a mix of elegance and capability.
