5 fastest sports cars in GTA Online in 2023 (Fully Upgraded)

After the release of Grand Theft Auto (GTA) Online's San Andreas Mercenaries update, many news cars saw the day of light in Los Santos. However, some were removed from the game in an effort to streamline the browsing experience on automobile websites. This caused a change in the hierarchy of the fastest rides in the popular action-adventure title.

Additionally, you have the luxury of improving base statistics of vehicles via upgradation at certain workshops. Some even qualify for HSW Performance Upgrades that increase top speed and acceleration to a great degree. That said, here is a list of the five fastest fully upgraded sports cars in GTA Online in 2023.
