Rockstar Games released GTA 5 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S as Grand Theft Auto 5: Expanded and Enhanced version, adding a slew of new features. While the gameplay is mostly the same across all platforms, players on new consoles enjoy exclusive content and special vehicles. The gaming studio introduced a new vehicle workshop called Hao’s Special Works, where most of the new cars can be modified.

This causes many PS5 players to waste their money. To help, this article lists and ranks five of the fastest PlayStation 5-exclusive vehicles in GTA Online that gamers can purchase.
