What Are The Best Race Cars In GTA 5?

When you can’t steal cars and shoot people in real life, you play GTA V to let all that frustration out. Grand Theft Auto has been with us for decades. You can cause chaos and blow stuff up, or go for a nice aesthetic ride on the roads of Los Santos, listening to some classic GTA radio music. Rockstar has left no stone unturned to make GTA V a masterpiece.

When you want to play Call of Duty and Forza simultaneously, you single-click on the GTA V icon and press Enter. No other open-world game has mastered shooting and driving just like Grand Theft Auto. When racing is concerned, there have been numerous car additions as GTA online updates are dropped.

Racing in GTA V is not restricted to land only; we got flying cars to take racing to the skies and hovercrafts to take it on the sea. Let’s talk about some of the best looking GTA 5 cars for racing.

Top 10 Aesthetically Pleasing Cars in GTA V for Racing:

Racing is a large portion of gaming content in Grand Theft Auto Online, and as far as I remember, it has been a part of GTA since GTA 3. Ahh… GTA 3, when you used to race against the clock with Claude as your main character.

Racing in GTA has come a long way since that time; here are the top 10 cars I consider to be extremely good looking to race in GTA V:

10. Grotti Carbonizzare

9. Grotti Turismo R

8. Ocelot XA-21

7. Pegassi Infernus

6. Entity XF

5. Progen Itali GTB

4. Dewbauchee Vagner

3. Benefactor BR8

2. Grotti Itali RSX

1. Truffade Adder

10. Grotti Carbonizzare

GTA 5 Online - Driving the Grotti Carbonizzare

Grotti Carbonizzare is a personal favorite of mine. It’s a convertible based on many different real-life supercars like Ferrari F12, Aston Martin V12 and the infamous Nissan GT-R.

After upgrading it to the max in Los Santos Customs, driving this beauty on the coasts of Vespucci Beach is an experience of its own. The Grotti Carbonizzare has a signature revving sound that you’ll usually find in slow hybrid vehicles in the game. Still, this car tears the road as a racecar, and that ‘Hybrid’ sound makes the driving experience very satisfying.

9. Grotti Turismo R

GTA 5 - Grotti Turismo R

We had the Grotti Turismo in the base game. Still, after the Business DLC of GTA online, Rockstar introduced the Grotti Turismo R. The design looks exactly like a classic Ferrari Laferrari. Still, Rockstar has always intermixed different sports cars instead of making exact replicas. So you can see a shade of McLaren too in the Grotti Turismo R.

It is the first on this list that looks like a sports car. Unlike the Grotti Carbonizzare, the Grotti Turismo R can help you win a few races without maxing out the stats in Los Santos Customs.

8. Ocelot XA-21

GTA Online Ocelot XA-21 car sound

This car looks more like a hypercar than a supercar; it is the most expensive car in GTA V. You will need to work hard to earn the Ocelot XA-21. It is based on Jaguar supercars with a slight mix of Koenigsegg. Rockstar was pretty clever to name it Ocelot (get it? Ocelot… Jaguar. no? I’ll let myself out)

It is a beautiful car with top speeds that will leave your opponents staring at the trunk throughout the race. The only reason it is so far up the list is because of its price in-game.

7. Pegassi Infernus

GTA 5 - Pegassi Infernus

Another car that I personally adore in GTA 5 is the Pegassi Infernus. The design gives off Lamborghini Aventador vibes straight away with a dash of Batmobile. The car performs exceedingly well, and you can commonly jack it in Vinewood hills in the game. After a trip to Los Santos Customs, you will bow to the supremacy of Pegassi Infernus.

The Infernus has been a popular name since GTA Vice City, but Rockstar took it to the extreme in GTA V.

6. Entity XF

GTA V Online Race Entity XF Domination Continues

The Entity XF is not commonly found on the roads in GTA V. You can buy it online once you have a lot of money in the bank. It provides the player with an exceptionally smooth ride with precise handling even at high speeds.

You can find Koenigsegg resemblance in this vehicle, and as mentioned before, it is not available commonly on the map; you have to purchase it from in-game cash.

5. Progen Itali GTB

Progen Itali GTB Custom Live Action!

This McLaren-inspired car was blessed upon us by Rockstar in the Import/Export update of GTA online. It is comparatively cheaper than other supercars in the game. It gives off a Forza-feel when you buy it and drive it for races.

The car reaches top-speeds easily, and the most notable perk of this vehicle is its price which can be afforded easily by any player.

4. Dewbauchee Vagner

Dewbauchee Vagner in Action

I present to you the fastest car in GTA V – Ladies and Gentleman; please put your hands together for… The Dewbauchee Vagner. It is the most premium hypercar in the game, ranging at around 1.5 million in-game dollars. 

This car resembles and is inspired by Aston Martin Valkyrie in every aspect. You can patiently perform heists online and earn your Dewbauchee Vagner or simply insert your credit card details and buy it through micro-transactions to gain the upper hand in GTA racing.

3. Benefactor BR8

The Benefactor BR8 (GTA 5 Open Wheel Racing | "It's a Sign")

If you are a NASCAR fan and into F1 racing, the Benefactor BR8 is the car for you. I know what you must be thinking, “Isn’t Benefactor the same company that makes boring old sedans in GTA V?” 

Well, Yes, they do, but that doesn’t mean they can’t make kickass sports cars! The Benefactor BR8 is proof of that. It is an amazing car and will help you gain the upper hand in specific races.

2. Grotti Itali RSX

GTA 5 Racing - First Win in the Itali RSX

We got the Grotti Itali RSX in the Cayo Perico Heist, and this car was way over-powered. It is the car in GTA V with all stats maxed! This car has the highest acceleration in all of GTA history (Keep in mind that GTA V has the fastest cars in the whole GTA series, and this car has the highest acceleration in GTA V).

If you are looking to fly like the wind in your GTA online races, the Grotti Itali RSX is the way to go!

1. Truffade Adder

GTA 5 - Truffade Adder

The Truffade Adder looks like a Bugatti Veyron straight away. It tops the list in my personal favorite cars of GTA as well. The Adder is not commonly seen on the roads in GTA V and can be bought in-game. It is not that expensive for a hypercar, and you can easily afford it after completing the main storyline.

If you want to take a ride in one of the most (real-life) expensive cars in the world – The Bugatti, then be sure to purchase Truffade Adder in the game.
