The Pegassi Zentorno is one of the supercars in GTA Online that debuted in 2014 as part of the High Life Update. The vehicle is inspired by various Lamborghini models, primarily from the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento.

The Zentorno can easily compete with high-end cars in the game thanks to its powerful 6.8L V12 engine (750 HP). The vehicle can reach a staggering top speed of 122.00 mph (196.34 km/h) and complete one lap in 1:00.960.

The GTA Online Winter Update 2023 will bring a new livery for the supercar, so it seems like the best time to get it. The Zentorno can be purchased from Legendary Motorsport for $725,000.

5) Grotti Turismo R

The Grotti Turismo R is a 2-door hypercar that has been a part of the game since 2014’s Business Update. The vehicle is heavily based on the real-life LaFerrari.
