There are many vehicles that players can steal and use in Los Santos, but there are only a few ones that can zip around the urban landscape in definitive fashion.

Updated on December 8, 2023 by Ritwik Mitra: Grand Theft Auto 5 is one of the greatest open-world games of all time, and the release of GTA Online led to Rockstar slowing down their development schedule instead of milking this mode for all its worth. It's easy to see why fans are over the moon after GTA's trailer was officially shown to the masses, with the prospect of revisiting Vice City being quite tantalizing indeed. Until that game comes, fans can zoom through Los Santos and its outskirts in Grand Theft Auto 5 with the fastest cars one can get their hands on in this title.
