Owning the fastest car in Grand Theft Auto V (GTA 5) Online can give you a distinct edge over the competition, especially when it comes to making a speedy getaway or participating in high stakes races. In the vast world of Los Santos, speed is everything. Navigating the treacherous streets and outrunning rivals is no small feat, and the right car can make all the difference. But which vehicle reigns supreme when it comes to speed?
Unfortunately, Rockstar Games has never released an official list of the top performing vehicles in this immensely popular sandbox, making it tricky to determine the ideal candidate for speed enthusiasts. Without any official stats to reference, fans have drawn various conclusions based on personal experiences and anecdotal evidence.
For example, IGN awarded the title of "fastest car" to the Grotti Itali RSX, while Inverse favored the Ocelot Pariah. Some fans on Reddit have even suggested that the Karin Calico GTF, introduced in July's Los Santos Tuners DLC, might be the fastest if modified correctly. Ultimately, it comes down to how you interpret the descriptor of "fastest car." You could have a speedster that covers great distances in a flash on a straight road, but if you're racing, factors like acceleration, traction, and handling must also be considered. This is why IGN chose the Grotti Itali as the best overall car for maintaining high velocity.
Understanding the Fastest Cars in GTA V Online
When discussing the fastest cars in GTA V Online, most players are interested in the vehicles that can achieve the highest miles per hour (mph). This typically means focusing on cars that can build up the most speed on straight stretches of road, like an airport runway, without having to slow down. However, narrowing it down in this way doesn't always yield a clear-cut winner.
Among the candidates often recommended are the Ocelot Pariah and the Karin Calico GT. However, the lack of official top speed data from Rockstar means that much of this discussion is based on anecdotal evidence rather than concrete figures. The most comprehensive investigations into this topic have come from YouTuber Adam Brough, known as Brough1322, who has produced numerous videos testing and ranking various cars based on speed and performance.
According to Brough's findings, the fastest car in Grand Theft Auto V is the Ocelot Pariah, which he clocked at an impressive 136 mph when fully tuned. Following closely is the Grotti Itali RSX at 135.3 mph, and the Pfister 811 at 132.5 mph. Here are the top five fastest cars according to these tests:
- Ocelot Pariah: 136 mph
- Grotti Itali RSX: 135.3 mph
- Pfister 811: 132.5 mph
- Principe Deveste Eight: 131.8 mph
- Bravado Banshee 900R: 131 mph
The Controversy Around the Karin Calico GT
Interestingly, the Karin Calico GT does not appear in Brough's top five, despite many players believing it to be superior to the Pariah. Some claim it can reach speeds exceeding 160 mph under the right conditions. However, Brough's tests only showed it reaching 121 mph due to the exclusion of a specific trick that allowed the car to travel at an unnaturally high velocity.
This trick involved modifying the Calico with a lower stance and low-grip tires, making it nearly impossible to turn while maintaining high speed. Brough classifies this as a bug that made the vehicle faster than intended, and since the ability to exploit this glitch has been patched out of the game, the Calico's performance is now more in line with other fast cars.
In conclusion, while the Calico was once considered faster than the Pariah, that distinction no longer stands. Players looking for the fastest car in GTA V Online will likely gravitate towards the Ocelot Pariah, but speed isn't all that matters. The overall driving experience, including handling and acceleration, should also factor into your decision.
Cost of the Ocelot Pariah
If you're eager to add the Ocelot Pariah to your collection in GTA V Online, prepare to invest a substantial amount of in-game currency. The standard price for this powerhouse vehicle is $1,420,000, though discounts may be available during special events.
As of now, Newsweek has reached out to Rockstar Games for an official statement on the fastest car in Grand Theft Auto V Online, but there has been no response.
