The San Andreas Mercenaries update added a few new cars to GTA Online, with more expected in the future. Rockstar Games usually adds different types of vehicles belonging to different classes, and the most recent DLC also follows suit. Although most players look for the fastest cars in the game, acceleration is also a significant stat that determines a vehicle’s performance.

While top speed helps the vehicle in long stretches, acceleration determines its output at the very start. Therefore, many pro drivers look for fast-accelerating cars rather than those with high top speeds.

This article lists five of the fastest-accelerating cars that GTA Online players can buy after the Summer 2023 DLC.
