Fastest Cars in GTA 5 Online: Tested Top Speeds (2026)
The fastest car in GTA Online right now is the Banshee GTS at 138 mph. With a Hao's Special Works conversion the ceiling moves higher: the Banshee GTS reaches 172.5 mph, the highest tested speed of any HSW vehicle.
Every figure below is a real in-game measurement by Broughy1322, not a stat bar. Top speed and racing pace are different questions: for winning races, check the lap time list further down. Riders are covered too: the fastest motorcycle is the Reever at 163 mph.

Frequently asked questions
What is the fastest car in GTA 5 Online?
By tested top speed, the Banshee GTS at 138 mph. That is a real measured speed from Broughy1322, not the in-game stat bar, which routinely disagrees with how cars actually perform.
What is the fastest car with HSW upgrades?
The Banshee GTS at 172.5 mph after its Hao's Special Works conversion. HSW is only available on the Enhanced (PS5, Xbox Series X|S) versions of GTA Online, so on PC and older consoles the stock list above is the ceiling.
Is the fastest car also the best for racing?
Usually not. Race results come from cornering and acceleration as much as straight-line speed, which is what lap times capture: the best tested lap right now belongs to the BR8 (Formula 1 Car). Pick from the lap time list for racing and the top speed list for cruising and highway pulls.
Why are weaponized vehicles missing from the car lists?
Rocket-boosted and weaponized machines are banned from most races and answer a different question than "what car should I buy to go fast". We keep the car rankings to vehicles you can race, and include weaponized bikes in the motorcycle list with a clear badge.
