GTA Online has been on a roll since the release of The Criminal Enterprises update last July, which went on to add new content to the game.
Players are getting new rides every week, with a total of nine brand-new vehicles added to the mix so far. However, players love to collect Sports Classic cars as they offer solid performances as well as classic looks.
With so many different vehicles available in that class, it can be overwhelming to know which are the best ones. An ideal car should be fast, able to complete laps in the shortest amount of time.
With that being said, let’s look at the five best Sports Classic cars in GTA Online in 2022.
