"What is the fastest car in GTA Online?" has more than one answer. It depends on whether you want the highest top speed, the best lap time, or the best pick for a road trip. This guide uses tested numbers published by GTA Intel (from GTABase / Broughy1322 data, June 8, 2026).
Key takeaways
- Banshee GTS (138.00 mph) and BF Weevil Custom (137.50 mph) lead the tested top speeds.
- Top speed is not the same as lap time; handling matters too.
- The data are from GTA Intel (GTABase / Broughy1322), published June 8, 2026.
- Pick a car for your use case, not just a number.
Top speed leaders (tested)
| Car | Class | Tested top speed |
|---|---|---|
| Banshee GTS | Sports | 138.00 mph |
| BF Weevil Custom | Muscle | 137.50 mph |
| Progen Luiva | Super | 136.25 mph (about $2.70M) |
| Ocelot Pariah | - | 136.00 mph (about $1.42M) |
| Grotti Itali RSX | - | 134.50 mph (about $3.47M) |
| Vapid FMJ MK V | - | 133.50 mph |
| Comet S2 Cabrio | - | 129.25 mph |
The Progen Luiva is the fastest true Super in the test. Classes matter because races and missions often limit which cars you can use.
Lap time leaders
If you care about circuits, the winners are different: the Progen Emerus (57.823 seconds, about $2.75M) and the Annis Krieger (57.858 seconds). Great handling and acceleration beat raw top speed on a track.
What about upgrades?
The test data says HSW upgrades, which are only available on PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, lift the Banshee GTS to about 172.5 mph. That is a big jump, but it does not apply on PC.
The in-game stat bars are not reliable
GTA Intel notes that the stat bars shown in game menus are unreliable. Trust tested numbers like these, not the bars.
Buying advice
- Decide what you want to do first: race, drive for fun, or collect.
- Check the price against the benefit. A $3M car is not always better than a $1.4M one.
- Watch weekly events: podium vehicles and discounts change every Thursday.

How to choose a car
- For straight roads, a top-speed leader is a good pick.
- For races with corners, prefer a car known for good handling, and check lap-time lists.
- For roleplay, look and style matter more than speed. Pick something that fits your character.
- For your wallet, check the price in game before you buy.
Tuning tips
- Upgrades change a car's speed and handling.
- Bad weather and different roads change how a car feels.
- Try a car in a test drive before you pay.
Speeds can change with game updates, so use these numbers as a guide.
