What is the fastest car in GTA 5 story mode cheat?
As an avid Grand Theft Auto fan who has spent countless hours pushing various vehicles to their limits across Los Santos and Blaine County, I‘ve learned the ins and outs of the fastest rides available in GTA 5‘s story mode. With access to cheat codes that allow players to spawn vehicles on demand, we can definitively state the fastest car is…
The Rapid GT Sports Car
By dialing "1-999-727-4348" into your in-game cell phone, you can instantly make the sleek, two-door Rapid GT appear right in front of you. This exotic speed machine lives up to its name with a top speed of 240 km/h – the highest of any spawnable vehicle in story mode when using cheats.
Rapid GT‘s Real-World Inspiration & Backstory
Manufactured in-game by Grotti (GTA‘s fictional take on Ferrari), the Rapid GT takes clear inspiration from the iconic Ferrari California model. It combines the flowing elegance you expect from Italian supercars with the raw American muscle under the hood.
Interestingly, the Rapid GT has appeared across various GTA games dating back to Grand Theft Auto IV. This lineage speaks to the impressive lasting power and appeal of its combination of aesthetics and performance capabilities that keep it relevant among newer hypercars. Just like a fine wine, this Grotti seems to get better with age!
Testing Methodology
All top speed testing was performed on the Great Ocean Highway in a private locked lobby to isolate performance variables. For accurate acceleration measurements, the cars launched from a standstill on flat ground without utilizing nitrous boosts or other temporary speed amplifiers. Professional racing pedals and wheel setups were used in vehicles when possible to maximize control and limit human input errors.
Additionally, cars were upgraded with the best possible components to determine their outright maximum velocity, though stock versions were also tested to provide baseline stats.
Technical Specifications and Performance
When fully tuned and customized, the Rapid GT truly lives up to its name by rocketing from 0-60 mph in a mere 3.4 seconds – a pace that rivals modern supercars costing over $200,000! Combining a savage 510 hp V8 engine with a 6-speed manual gearbox and rear wheel drive, it has the credentials for sheer acceleration.
But in addition to quickness, this Grotti also offers exceptional handling and grip at speed thanks to racing-tuned suspension and low profile tires. Upgrades like a tight limited-slip differential and performance brakes inspire confidence pushing the limits.
The end result is a top speed that blows away virtually all stock vehicles Franklin, Michael, or Trevor can steal off the streets of Los Santos. Only a few other exotic supercars can rival it in a flat out race when fully maxed.
Ideal Use Cases in GTA Missions/Gameplay
Having the ability to instantly summon a 240 km/h sports car with ample power translates into major benefits across all story mode activities:
Outrun the Cops: Few patrol vehicles can keep pace at top speed. Use the high acceleration and agility in the city, then blast away on highways. Just watch for roadblocks!
Complete Transport Jobs: Whether it‘s transporting an objective across the map for Devin Weston or grabbing drugs/contraband for Trevor‘s trade, you‘ll shave precious minutes off drive time.
Craft Your Own Supercar Photo Shoots: Find scenic spots across Los Santos and capture the Grotti Rapid GT in its natural high speed habitat! Experiment with custom paint colors.
In my experience, the rapid GT‘s combined high top speed and acceleration offers the most flexible performance package for tackling story missions or simply joyriding across the rich open world.
How Other Vehicles Compare
While no other GTA 5 cars can definitively beat the fully-upgraded Rapid GT‘s top speed without also using cheats, a few come close enough to mention:
Grotti Cheetah – Another fermarri, This sleek, low supercar ties the Rapid GT‘s top speed at an identical 240 km/h. However, it doesn‘t accelerate quite as quickly at high speeds.
Overflod Entity XF – At 240 km/h matched with AWD traction, this Lambo continental contender actually edges out the Rapid GT‘s acceleration off the line. However, its handling suffers at peak velocity.
Coil Brawler – A new addition via DLC updates, this track-inspired rocket has the highest non-boost top speed at a blistering 252 km/h when fully upgraded! No cheats required either.
As we can see, the Rapid GT holds its own against – and even surpasses – many of GTA 5‘s most elite vehicles in its class. Heck, its 0-60 time beats some real life $1 million + hypercars!
For all-around explosive performance right from the start, no other choice comes close to matching Grotti‘s cheat-enhanced speed stalwart. It certainly earned its reputation as an instant icon across GTA entries.
So there you have it, friends – the definitive guide to unleashing supercar speeds in GTA 5‘s story mode by spawning the legendary Rapid GT. Whether you‘re looking to set land speed records, finish missions in a flash, or simply relish outrunning police cruisers – this exotic speedmachine delivers. Just be careful not to take those high speed turns too sharply!
Let me know your own experiences testing the limits of vehicles in GTA 5 or if you have any other tips for getting maximum velocity. And as always, hit that throttle hard!
