No matter the challenge you’re facing on GTA 5 Online, speed and finesse are key to achieving top honours. Whether it’s that checkered flat or you’re racing to get your destination, you need a fast car and some top of the line driving skills.
However, there’s more than meets the eye when it comes to fast cars on GTA 5 Online. You have to consider more than just the number of the speedometer. To help you get to the finish line first, here are some of the fastest standard cars on GTA 5. With a little customization, you can transform them into beasts.
There are two ways you can look at speed in GTA 5. First, you have the most obvious: The cars with the fastest speeds.
Ocelot Pariah
If you’re shopping based on looks, the Ocelot will probably be your last pick. It doesn’t look as beastly as other supercars on this line-up. But what it lacks in looks and aggressiveness, it makes up for in power and speed.
Inspired by a blend of the McLaren P1 and a bit of the Nissan GTR, The Ocelot Pariah peaks at 218.87Km/h with an excellent acceleration that will easily crush its competition in a straight stretch.
To land this beauty, be prepared to part with at least $1,420,000 but the experience is going to make every penny you shelf out worth your while.
PFister 811
Everything about the Pfister 811 screams speed. It has a unique streamlined design that looks like a jet. That alone is enough to give you an idea of the speed that this little monster is capable of.
The Pfister gets its inspiration from the Porsche 911 and its performance does justice to the Porsche as well. Other than hitting crisp speeds of 213.24km/h, the Pfister remains stunningly tight around the corners with great handling even at high speeds. You will have to pay $1, 135,000 for this car but one thing is for certain, you don’t have to worry about spending much on customisation because it is one of the most complete cars in the game.
Principe Deveste Eight
The Deveste Eight is a legend in GTA and for good reason. This monster of a car can run at 212.03km/h and has the looks to scare the competition.
It looks like a spacecraft and a Lamborghini collided and the result was this curvy and high-performance car that looks like it can fly.
Inspired by the equally mystical and legendary Devil Sixteen which features a 5.0 litre, V-16 engine, producing a backbreaking 5,000 horsepower, it’s easy to see where the Principe gets its reputation from.
To make the Principe Deveste 8 part of your collection, be prepared to part with $1, 795,000. It’s a high price tag but for a high-value car.
Bravado Banshee 900R
The Banshee has a more practical look without losing the vicious look that high-performance cars are known for. That’s probably because the Banshee gets its looks from the real-life Dodge Viper.
The best thing about the Banshee is that it’s affordable at about $565,000, but with promising speeds of about 210.82km/h and an insane amount of noise that will have the competition trembling even before the race starts.
Overflod Entity XXR
The overflod is the most expensive car on the list clocking at over $2 million but also one of the fastest with a top speed of 206.1km/h.
However, the secret sauce of the Entity XXR is not really the speed but the excellent acceleration which makes it faster coming out of the corners, not to mention that it hits the top speed faster than the other cars. It also helps that it has the looks to match its performance.

The other way to look at the speed of the car is the lap times. Speedometers only tell a part of the story. The other part depends on the engineering, braking systems, and suspensions and as you probably know the fastest cars might not always have the fastest lap times.
If you’re willing to look at more than just the top speed for those longer and more curly routes, here are cars with the fastest lap times on GTA 5.
Dewbauchee Vagner
The Vagner is all the proof you need to show that top speeds are not everything. Even though it is slower than the top five fastest cars, it beats its closest competition by 0.7 seconds and beats the Pariah by over a second on the 60 second lap.
The Vagner is also easier on the pockets setting you back about $1.5 million. It is among the cheaper supercars in the game.
Annis RE-7B
The Annis is the second fastest on the track clocking a time of 0.59.727. Inspired by the Mazda 787Bthe Annis is yet another super car that doesn’t make it to the top 5 but holds its own on the race track.
Ocelot XA – 21
The Ocelot has a silhouette that looks very similar to the Jaguar C-X75. It has excellent performance and handling evidenced by its 0.59.927 time on the 60 second lap. Getting this awesome machine and engineering is not easy. It’s more costly than the Vagner costing a staggering $2,375,000.
Overflod Autarch
The Autarch is based on a little known car called the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus 003 that is fitted with a twin turbo V-6 engine that is good for 490 horses. The performance reflects on the Autarch. It has excellent speed and superb handling completing the 60 second lap in 0.59.960.

Principe Deveste 8
The Deveste is the only supercar to feature in the Top speed and closeout as one of the fastest cars on the track as well. It’s largely based on its blend of speed and manoeuvrability.
Final Thoughts
It might not look like it, but if you’re going for the fastest car, the Deveste might be a good choice because of its careful balance. However, if you’re throwing everything to caution in search of neck-breaking speed even around corners, then go for the Vagner.
