Fastest Cars in GTA 5: Top Speeds for Story Mode and GTA Online
Top speed is the one stat every GTA player argues about, and the answer changes depending on where you drive. Story mode and GTA Online have different car catalogues, different prices and different upgrade paths, so each has its own speed king. Here are both leaderboards, with the prices and sellers you need to add them to your garage.
Fastest cars in GTA 5 story mode
| Car | Top speed | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Truffade Z-Type | 127 mph | Legendary Motorsport — $10,000,000 |
| Truffade Adder | 126.25 mph | Legendary Motorsport — $1,000,000 |
| Vapid Pißwasser Dominator | 125 mph | Win the third stock car race |
| Pegassi Monroe | 123.25 mph | Legendary Motorsport — $490,000 |
| Dewbauchee Massacro (Racecar) | 122.75 mph | Southern S.A. Super Autos — $385,000 |
| Progen T20 | 122.50 mph | Legendary Motorsport — $2,200,000 |
| Grotti Turismo R | 122.50 mph | Legendary Motorsport — $500,000 |
| Overflod Entity XF | 122.25 mph | Legendary Motorsport — $795,000 |
| Pegassi Zentorno | 122.25 mph | Legendary Motorsport — $725,000 |
| Pegassi Osiris | 122 mph | Legendary Motorsport — $1,950,000 |
The Z-Type is a glorious oddity: a 1930s-style luxury coupe in the mould of the Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic that somehow outruns every modern supercar in single player. It is also the most expensive car in story mode by an enormous margin. Most players will get more joy from the Adder, which gives up less than 1 mph for a tenth of the price, or the Turismo R, the best speed-per-dollar buy on the list.
Fastest cars in GTA Online
| Car | Top speed | How to get it |

Online is simply faster. The Banshee GTS — a modernised take on the Banshee that has been in the series since GTA 3 — sits at the top, and it is also the fastest car compatible with Hao's Special Works upgrades on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, which stretch its legs even further. The Weevil Custom is the leaderboard's cult hero: a humble Beetle-shaped compact converted at Benny's into a 137.50 mph straight-line missile. The Pariah remains the thinking racer's pick, trading a couple of mph for handling that wins actual races rather than drag strips.
Top speed is not everything
A leaderboard like this measures one thing: flat-out pace on a straight road. Races are won on acceleration, braking and cornering, which is why cars like the Itali RSX and Pariah outperform quicker-on-paper rivals on real circuits. Lap-time testing and top-speed testing routinely produce different winners, so treat these tables as your shortlist, then upgrade fully and test on the routes you actually drive.
