One of the most important aspects of a good car in GTA 5 is its top speed.
The top ten cars in GTA 5 differs depending on the criteria it’s being rated on. For the sake of clarity and to avoid confusion, this top ten focuses solely on a car’s top speed. It is important to note that speed is not the same thing as acceleration.
Acceleration refers to how quickly a car can go from zero to its top speed. Its top speed is a different variable altogether. Also, this will be solely based on its natural top speed, so external factors such as explosions and other momentum-altering forces are not considered. Also, this is for the base GTA 5 game and not GTA Online, as there are some differences. Broughy is used as a source for various “true” top speeds (the in-game speed is inaccurate, but will still be listed for comparison sake).
The Entity XF is arguably one of the coolest looking cars in GTA 5. Priced at only $795,000, the Entity XF is one of the best cars in the game. Of course, the main attribute this list will look at is its top speed. It goes up to 96.31 mph according to in-game measurements. For those more interested in its Broughy measurements, the Entity XF is listed as being able to go up to 121.50 mph, which would make it the 10th fastest car in GTA 5.

To make this list more interesting, both Massacro cars are listed under one entry. The regular version is priced at $275,000 while the racecar variant is priced at $385,000. The main differences between the two cars are the design and other attributes (braking, acceleration, etc.). Surprisingly, their top-speeds are identical. Both cars’ top speed is listed in-game as going as high as 97.06 mph while the speed calculated by Broughy is 121.75 mph.

Surprisingly, a car with “Turismo” in its name isn’t in the top five. Still, the Turismo R is far faster than most of the other cars in GTA 5. Its price is only $500,000 (which is quite low given its performance and excellent design). For this price, the Turismo R is able to hit 121.75 mph (true speed; the in-game speed is listed as 96.31 mph, and in-game speeds are inaccurately calculated).

Monroe as a name isn’t one that inspires speed. Despite that, the Monroe of GTA 5 is blazingly fast, especially for its price range. It’s only $490,000, but it can go up to 93.21 mph as displayed by the in-game speed. Its true speed, however, is 122 mph, making it equal to the Osiris and the Zentorno in terms of top speed.

This $1,950,000 car is another candidate for the top ten fastest cars in GTA 5. As top speed is something that is objectively measured, it is important to see where the Osiris ranks. Its speed is listed as 98.86 mph and 122 mph for its in-game speed and its Broughy speed, respectively.

#5 - Zentorno
The Zentorno is an outstanding car for both the base game of GTA 5 and for a budget option in modern GTA Online. That alone should let players know that it’s an excellent car to consider, but what about its speed? Its max speed in-game is listed as 98.8 mph, but its true speed is 122 mph as confirmed by Broughy.

The T20 is one of the last cars updated in the base GTA 5 game, so it shouldn’t come across as a surprise that it’s pretty excellent. This stylish car (also expensive at $2,200,000) reaches an in-game speed of 98.98 mph. Its Broughy speed is listed as 122.25 mph, which is still an excellent top speed.

The Adder may look unspectacular at a first glance (although it is priced at $1,000,000), but it is deceptively fast. In fact, its true speed values through the Broughy method is faster than all but two cars in GTA 5. Its in-game speed is listed as 99.42 mph, but its Broughy speed is confirmed as 124.75 mph.

This retro-looking car is deceptively fast and is, in fact, the 2nd fastest car in GTA 5. It’s purchasable for a hefty price of $950,000, so it isn’t the best price to top-speed in the game. Still, it can go at a max speed of 95.69 mph in-game and 126.25 mph by Broughy.

The Vapid Pißwasser Dominator is the fastest car in the base game of GTA 5. Technically, it was released in a bonus update, but players can still acquire it in GTA 5. For only $315,000, a player can drive the Vapid Pißwasser Dominator. Its top speed is recorded as 91.34 mph in-game and 126.5 mph by Broughy. Considering the Broughy value is the true value, the Vapid Pißwasser Dominator is the fastest car in GTA 5.
