Nightshark in GTA 5 Online: Performance review
Trending
The GTA Online Nightshark has an unidentified engine powering all four wheels. According to popular analyst Broughy1322, the armored vehicle possesses a top speed of 105.25 mph (169.38 km/h) and can complete a lap in about 1:06.750. While these numbers may be below average for speed enthusiasts, the SUV performs well for a vehicle of its size and weight.
Moreover, the Nightshark can easily push other land vehicles thanks to its reinforced bumper. However, the best part about it is its armor, which allows it to withstand up to eight stick bombs or RPGs without exploding. This durability gives players a serious advantage in defensive scenarios, making the SUV one of the best vehicles in GTA 5 Online for getaway purposes.
The Nightshark's only major flaw is its non-bulletproof windows. However, players can install custom window plates to have partial protection against gunfire.
Another key feature of the Nightshark in GTA 5 Online is its front-facing machine guns. These weapons are capable of firing 1000 rounds per minute, enough to annihilate targets with low or no armor.
Lastly, the SUV can tow an Anti-Aircraft Trailer, giving it a significant boost in its defensive capabilities.
Now let’s quickly review its design.

- Range Rover (L405) – Triple indicator system
- Dartz Prombon "Black Dragon" – Rear bumper
