How does the Cognoscenti 55 (Armored) perform in 2024?

According to the testing done by YouTuber Broughy1322, the Cognoscenti 55 (Armored) can reach a maximum speed of 112.25 mph (180.65 km/h). Compared to the standard counterpart, the vehicle has improved acceleration that allows it to complete a lap on an average time of 1:14.007. While it is not one of the fastest cars in GTA Online, it is still a decent performer.

The best part of the Cognoscenti 55 (Armored) is its armor capabilities, allowing it to resist damage and save those inside it. Here’s how much damage it can absorb before exploding:

• 1 Sticky Bomb
• 1 Grenade
• 1 Rocket Launcher/Homing Launcher
• 1 Missile/Tank Shell of a vehicle
• 1 Valkyrie’s Canon shot
• 200 rounds of Minigun (approx.)
• 3-second firing of a mounted Minigun (approx.)

This makes the vehicle one of the best options while in free roam or as a getaway ride.
