What is the fastest car in GTA 5 Online: A look at all vehicle classes

The fastest car in GTA 5 Online differs from one vehicle class to another.

GTA 5 Online players should know that the Vigilante is the fastest car in the game. Predictably, that would also make it the fastest supercar in GTA 5 Online. However, it's also interesting to look into the fastest cars for the remaining vehicle classes. As this article's name implies, this list will only go over cars (and not all vehicles).

Popular GTA 5 Online YouTuber, Broughy1322 has compiled data for every vehicle in the game. One of the most valuable pieces of data is the car's top speed, as it's a more accurate measurement than what the game tells the player. Emergency, military, off-road, and utility cars won't be listed, as they're slower than other vehicles in that same vehicle class.

The Vigilante costs $3,750,000, so it's also one of the more expensive cars in GTA 5 Online.

Commercial cars aren't known for their top speed, so it should be no surprise that their fastest vehicle only goes up to 106.25 mph (170.99 km/h). The Cerberus (Arena Wars) is available in three variations: Apocalypse, Future Shock, and Nightmare.

The Cerberus (Arena Wars) costs $3,870,300, although it can also be bought at a Trade Price of $2,910,000.
