Every vehicle class compared: the best of each in GTA Online

One verdict per class, tested figures only. Speeds below come from standardised community testing against the current game, prices from the live catalogues, all as of early August 2026, and the full vehicles guide sits alongside this page with the how and why.

The class verdicts

• All-round personal vehicle: the Toreador, GTA$4,250,000, because a submarine sports car with unlimited missiles ends most arguments
• Commute: the Sparrow for anyone with a Kosatka, with the Oppressor Mk II at GTA$8,000,000 as the luxury version of the same journey
• Fastest car: the Banshee GTS, 138mph tested, and 172.5mph with the HSW conversion, the outright land record
• Race handling: the Pariah and the Itali RSX, still the benchmarks when corners exist
• HSW value: the Vigero ZX, 158mph for GTA$1,947,000 plus a GTA$550,000 conversion
• Motorcycle: the Hakuchou Drag, whose HSW build sits among the fastest things on wheels
• Armour on a budget: the Armored Kuruma at GTA$698,250; armour with seats: the Nightshark
• Jet: the F-160 Raiju, GTA$6,855,000, VTOL and radar stealth; the Lazer remains the pure dogfighter
• Helicopter: the Sparrow for utility, the Akula at GTA$4,500,000 for stealth, the Hunter for war
• Boat: the Longfin, which every clean Cayo Elite quietly depends on
• Free: the Duke O Death, the Elegy RH8, and the CEO Buzzard call, the best nothing money can buy

The grinder five

• Armored Kuruma: the mission-carrying starter
• Kosatka: the heist that pays for everything else
• Sparrow: the commute that gives you your evenings back
• Toreador: the bodyguard
• Terrorbyte: the office, now Master Control capable
• Roughly GTA$10 to 11 million all-in, and the set that makes every money guide on this desk run at full speed

The freemode defence kit

• An Imani Tech daily driver with the Missile Lock-On Jammer fitted at the Agency workshop, which deletes the most common form of lobby grief
• The Toreador as the response vehicle, because whatever they brought, it answers
• The Heavy Sniper Mk II with explosive rounds from our weapons desk, which is the ground-to-air policy everything hovering already respects
• And the humble option nobody advertises: an invite-only session, where every sell mission in the business guides runs in peace

The verified price sheet

In one place: Armored Kuruma GTA$698,250, Kosatka GTA$2,200,000, Toreador GTA$4,250,000, Akula GTA$4,500,000, Deluxo GTA$5,750,000, Raiju GTA$6,855,000 (GTA$5,141,250 trade), Oppressor Mk II GTA$8,000,000, Banshee GTS with HSW as the speed record holder, and the Vigero ZX conversion at GTA$550,000 as the value pick. Everything else on the seven-hundred-vehicle wall is taste, and taste is what the other guides fund.

Where it fits

This page closes the desk: heists, businesses, weapons and vehicles, every guide step-first, every figure verified, everything at sixcentral.co.uk/online on the site and in the SixCentral app, filterable by topic. When Rockstar moves a number, the desk moves with it.

One verdict per class, five vehicles for the grind, and the fastest car in Los Santos wearing HSW plates. Drive something ridiculous, you earned it several guides ago.
