GTA 5 is packed with cars of all shapes and sizes, ranging from everyday hatchbacks to the sleekest of supercars. Rockstar is known to draw inspiration from real vehicles and brands when designing these cars. And just like their real-life counterparts, the in-game vehicles can go freakishly fast. Whether you’re playing Online or single player, there’s no shortage of incredible rides to pick from. With this in mind, here are our recommendations for the best cars in GTA 5 that deserve a spot in your garage.
15. Overflod Autarch
Released back in 2017 as part of the fan-favorite Doomsday Heist, the Overflod Autrach is still among the fastest cars in GTA 5 you can find in Los Santos today. The supercar is quite the head-turner, as it combines elements from the McLaren Senna, KTM X-Bow GT4, and the Koenigsegg One:1 to create an eye-catching design.
The Autarch clocks in at a top speed of 126 mph, which is good enough for most street races, and it also feels satisfying to control. If you’re looking to try it out for yourself, the car can be purchased from Legendary Motorsport for $1,955,000.
14. Ocelot Virtue
Ocelot vehicles are known for their smooth handling without sacrificing raw speed, and the Virtue is no exception. The Lotus Evija-inspired sports car can reach speeds of close to 120 MPH after being fully upgraded, meaning you can zoom through congested roads while still maintaining control of its maneuverability.
On top of this, the car can also be outfitted with a Missile Lock-On Jammer and extra Armor Plating for utmost security. The Virtue can be purchased from Legendary Motorsport for $2,980,000. Alternatively, it can be acquired as a free reward in GTA Online by completing the ‘First Dose’ and ‘Last Dose’ missions from the Los Santos Drug Wars update.
13. Benefactor LM87
Fans of the collaboration between Sauber and Mercedes will immediately recognise the inspiration behind the Benefactor LM87. The GTA 5 supercar borrows the unique, wedge-shaped look of the Le Mans-winning Sauber-Mercedes C9, while also living up to its racing pedigree.
A fully upgraded LM87 can hit a top speed of 127.50 mph, and its rapid acceleration ensures that you’ll be hitting warp speed in no time. To add it to your collection, head down to Legendary Motorsports and be prepared to part with an eye-watering $2,915,000.
12. Benefactor Krieger
We’ve got another Mercedes-inspired supercar next, and this time it takes inspiration from the aptly named AMG One. Released as part of the Diamond Casino & Resort update, the Benefactor Krieger blends hyperspeed with luxury for an aerodynamic design that is simply cutting-edge.
In terms of speed, you’ll be able to zip around at 128 mph consistently. The vehicle’s braking leaves more to be desired, but the overall package is certainly worth it, even at the whopping price tag of $2,875,000.
11. Truffade Thrax
The Truffade Thrax represents the pinnacle of French craftsmanship and engineering, bottled up in supercar form and made available for purchase. Its appearance takes inspiration from the Bugatti Divo, as it features a similar horseshoe grille that is flanked by vertically oriented LED lights on either side. The vehicle also comes with a two-tone finish, just like the Divo.
As for the power packed into its rolling chassis, the Thrax can reach a top speed of 123.75 MPH. While that isn’t the most impressive of figures, the car remains an absolute joy to drive. If you’re interested in the French supercar, it can be purchased from Legendary Motorsport for $2,325,000.
10. Pegassi Tezeract
The Tezeract is the glorious amalgamation of design elements from the Lamborghini Terzo Millennio and the SRT Tomahawk. The final result is a butch and ferocious electric car that is very definition of a silent killer.
Boasting both raw speed and rapid acceleration, it doesn’t take long for the Tezeract to break away from the pack once you decide to go full throttle. If you want to experience the true power of electric, the Pegassi Tezeract is available at Legendary Motorsport for $2,825,000.
9. Pegassi Infernus
The Pegassi Infernus has been a mainstay in the franchise ever since the low-poly days of GTA 3. Its modern appearance was properly conceived in GTA 4 as the devs took inspiration from the Lamborghini Diablo and Murcielago. Now sporting carbon-fibre fixtures and a sleek profile, the Infernus is more than capable of blasting off when required.
That said, it’s far from the fastest supercars around, but one that still feels incredible to get behind the wheel of. The Infernus is available in the single player and GTA Online for just $440,000 and still keeps its tag as one of the best GTA 5 cars.
8. Grotti Itali RSX
The Cayo Perico Heist brought a lot of good stuff to GTA Online, with a prime example being the Grotti Itali RSX. The supercar takes inspiration from the Ferrari SF90 Stradale and boasts a similarly aggressive appearance, while maintaining its track-focused identity through a giant rear diffuser. Speaking of track-focused, there are only a few other cars that can keep up with the RSX, as it reaches a top speed of 134.50 mph.
This barely street-legal supercar can be yours to own for the steep price of $3,465,000 at Legendary Motorsport.
7. Progen Emerus
If you’re all about function before aesthetics, the McLaren Senna-inspired Progen Emerus might be the ride for you. Every inch of its aerodynamic design is built to perform with little room for visual flourishes. That’s not to say that the car isn’t a looker, as there’s plenty of beauty to be found in its unconventional appearance.
Most importantly, the Emerus is a home run when it comes to the driving experience. It channels the power of 800 horses and shifts through gears in just seconds. As you’re zooming past pedestrians at 127 mph, you’ll still have a degree of control over the vehicle, which is not something that can be said for many other supercars. If you’re intrigued by this pitch, the car can be purchased from Legendary Motorsport for $2,750,000.
6. Grotti Turismo R
The Grotti Turismo R features one of the most wicked appearances of any car in the game. The hybrid sports car is a collection of influences ranging from the McLaren P1 to the Ferrari LaFerrari. All for a final result that is a ruthless composition of sharp curves and edges, which exudes that distinct Italian flair. The Turismo R branding and Grotti logos emblazoned across the exterior further accentuate its class, making you feel like a high roller.
Despite its sophisticated design, the car can still deliver when it comes to raw power, with a top speed of around 122.5 mph. It’s also not the most expensive of investments and can be purchased for $500,000 from Legendary Motorsport.
5. Pegassi Zentorno
Added as part of the High Life update, the Zentorno is yet another jaw-dropping Pegassi that borrows heavily from a real-life Lamborghini. In this instance, it’s a mixture of the Sesto Elemento and the Veneno. The Zentorno features a similarly compact silhouette with carbon fiber elements to maximize dynamism. In addition, it comes with scissor doors and a striking strip of LED lights on the rear for that extra bit of oomph.
Its fiery appearance matches the performance on the road as the car is built to go full tilt. Since the Zentorno has been available since 2014, it’ll cost you just $725,000 at Legendary Motorsport, making it a very different yet one of the best cars in GTA 5.
4. Ocelot Pariah
The Ocelot Pariah was designed with the Ferrari 812 Superfast, the Aston Martin V12 Zagato, and the Jaguar F-Type in mind. With such an incredible lineage of speedy supercars behind its appearance, it only made sense that the Pariah could go supersonic. And that’s precisely what it’s capable of.
The sports car can hit a ridiculous top speed of 136 mph, although you’ll have to contend with its shaky handling. Thankfully, the vehicle’s maneuverability won’t matter all that much when you’re speeding down the highway and holding onto your seat to contain the excitement. The Pariah can be purchased from Legendary Motorsport for $1,420,000.
3. Bravado Banshee GTS
The OG Banshee is close to the hearts of GTA veterans who experienced its potential first-hand in Vice City, San Andreas, and GTA 4. While the standard version is still available in GTA 5, what you really should be looking to try out is the younger and meaner Banshee GTS. Just like the real-life car it takes inspiration from, the Dodge SRT GTS, this brand-new model doesn’t mess around.
By that, I mean a top speed of 138 mph, and that’s for the base, non-upgraded version. Once you slap on a few customizations, prepare to burn some serious rubber as the GTS climbs to a downright insane top speed of 172.50 MPH. Getting it easy enough for GTA+ Members since the car is free to claim. For the rest, it’ll cost $1,989,500 at Legendary Motorsport.
2. Dewbauchee Vagner
Inspired by Astro Martin Valkyrie, the Dewbauchee Vagner is easily among the most satisfying cars to drive in GTA Online. Its appearance is aerodynamic personified, and those design choices result in a car that can rip through the streets while keeping its balance. The vehicle can be purchased from Legendary Motorsport for $1,535,000.
1. Grotti Vigilante
A standout candidate for the coolest car in GTA history, the Grotti Vigilante is fittingly modeled after multiple iterations of the iconic Batmobile. The two-door vehicle gets its front facia from the stylised Chevy Impala used in 1989’s Batman, while the rear is based on the ‘Tumbler’ Batmobile from The Dark Knight Trilogy. The design inspirations don’t end there, as the Vigilante also borrows from the Batmobiles of Arkham Knight and Batman: The Animated Series.
As undeniable cool as the vehicle is, it still needs to perform on the road. And on that front, the Vigilante is virtually unmatched. Not only can it reach a top speed of 146.75 mph, but it can also carry homing missiles while being fully bulletproof. If you need further convincing, the car also comes with a rechargeable Rocket Boost that can be triggered any time for an extra burst of speed.
Naturally, the Vigilante is not cheap and will cost you an astronomical $3,750,00 at Warstock Cache & Carry. Nonetheless, this beauty is what we consider the best car in GTA 5.
