GTA 6 Fastest Cars: The 10 Candidates Ranked Before Launch

No one outside Rockstar has timed a GTA 6 car yet. What exists is a vehicle database built from trailers, screenshots and two leaks, and for every car on it the real counterpart is known. So this ranking uses the manufacturer top speed of each counterpart as the stand-in. It is the best available predictor of where Rockstar will slot a car, since the studio has matched real-world pecking orders for three games running, and it will be replaced with in-game figures as soon as they exist.

Three rules kept the list honest. Only cars seen in footage or screenshots qualify, so entries we merely expect to return are out. Ties are broken in favour of official footage over leaked footage. And where a counterpart has an electronically limited top speed, the limited figure is used, because that is the number the car actually reaches.

The Truffade Thrax is the only hypercar seen so far, and it is a leak-tier entry. It stars in the sixth clip of the August 2026 leak, a two-and-a-half-minute video in which Jason drags a driver out of it and takes it for a run, and Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier confirmed the footage as genuine through Rockstar sources. Its basis, the Bugatti Divo, is limited to 380 km/h. A 40 km/h gap to second place is enormous, and if the Thrax ships it will be the car every fastest-car thread revolves around.

Second and third are both Grotti, both Ferrari-derived, both on official footage. The green Itali GTO is parked in the very first establishing shot of Trailer 1, eleven seconds in, and its 812 Superfast counterpart tops out at 340 km/h. The Itali RSX opens the launch trailer on Shore Drive and races through Balsero in the Extended Look; Ferrari quotes the SF90 Stradale at over 340 km/h. Rockstar classes both as Sports rather than Super, which in GTA 5 terms would make them class leaders rather than outright kings.

Four of the remaining seven are Super class, and three of those come from the September 2022 leak only. The Grotti Furia blends 488 Pista and SF90 cues and lands on the same 340 km/h as its siblings, which makes it the fastest leak-only car after the Thrax. The Pegassi Zorrusso is the Italdesign Zerouno, a 330 km/h car built in a run of five. The Pegassi Tempesta carries Centenario styling on a Huracán body, and the Huracán figure of 325 km/h is the one used here rather than the Centenario’s 350, since the shape is mostly the former.

The exception is the Progen Emerus, caught at the Gloriana Key car meet twenty-six minutes into the Extended Look. Its McLaren Senna basis is officially 335 km/h, and McLaren built the Senna for lap time rather than top speed, so in-game it may well punch above its number on a twisty road. The Enus Paragon R is the quiet one: a Bentley Continental GT with a 333 km/h W12 figure, in the Coupes class, which would make it an unusually fast grand tourer if Rockstar keeps the real-world order.

The Pegassi Infernus Classic is a Lamborghini Diablo and appears across Trailer 1, the Extended Look street race and the launch trailer. A 325 km/h figure puts it level with the Tempesta, and for a car classed as Classic that is remarkable. The Albany V-STR closes the ten: a Cadillac CTS-V, limited to 322 km/h, posing with its ducktail spoiler on the official site’s Ambrosia postcard. It is the only entry here from a still image rather than video.

The Ocelot Jugular, a Jaguar XE SV Project 8, matches the V-STR at 322 km/h and misses the cut only on the tie-break, being leak-only. Behind it come the Ocelot Locust from the Lotus 3-Eleven, the Obey 8F Drafter from the Audi RS5, the Emperor Vectre from the Lexus RC F and the electric Pfister Neon. All four are quick cars whose counterparts sit under 300 km/h, which is why none of them trouble the table.

Everything above is a prediction with a paper trail, not a measurement. Once the game is out, the community will do what it did in GTA 5: lap each car on a fixed route, clock top speeds on the longest straight, and sort the list into classes. The two numbers to watch are whether the Thrax appears at all, since nothing official has shown it, and how far Rockstar separates the Sports-class Grotti pair from the Super class. Testing methods and cheat inputs that affect handling are tracked over at Grand Theft Auto VI Cheats.

What is the fastest car in GTA 6?

On real-world figures, the Truffade Thrax, if it ships. Among cars seen in official footage, the Grotti Itali GTO and Itali RSX share top spot at 340 km/h.

Is the Thrax confirmed for GTA 6?

It appears only in the August 2026 leak, confirmed as genuine but taken from an old build, so it stays a leak-tier entry until Rockstar shows it.

Are in-game top speeds known?

No. Rockstar has released no performance figures and the hands-on sessions were not timed. Community testing starts at launch.

Will the fastest car be the fastest in races?

Not necessarily. GTA 5’s best lap times came from cars with lower top speeds, and the Senna-based Emerus is the obvious candidate to repeat that.
