Five fastest helicopters in GTA Online

5) Nagasaki Havok

Price: $2,300,900

Top Speed: 154.25 mph (248.24 km/h)

"In the world of tactical air support, bigger is better, right? Wrong. Consider this. The next time one of your legitimate business associates arranges to meet you in the bathroom of a crack den in Banning, they could swing open the stall door to find you hovering over the bowl in one of these beauties."

3) Akula

Price: $3,704,050

Top Speed: 157.25 mph (253.07 km/h)

"Once upon a time, a blank radar screen meant you could relax. But times change. With the Akula in town, a blank radar screen probably means you're a few seconds away from being vaporized by a cackling sociopath in an attack helicopter. And there's only one way to make sure you're on the right side of that brave new world..."

Price: $5,150,000

Top Speed: 157.75 mph (253.87 km/h)

"You're not just buying a three-ton, nitro-charged, solid gold helicopter. You're not just subsidizing third world mining corporations, hysterical dictatorships, thousands of child laborers, and dozens of NGOs pretending to fight human rights abuse. You're making a statement. You're making a statement about you, and the kind of meaningless decadence the world barely even notices anymore."
