The Bullet GT Rules as the Fastest Car in GTA IV
Clocking a face-melting 101 mph top speed, the outrageous Bullet GT stands head and shoulders above the pack as the fastest vehicle across the entire GTA IV experience.
This road warrior rocks a high-revving V8 engine pumping out over 500 horsepower combined with a stripped down body weighing under 3000 pounds. That insane power-to-weight ratio allows it to rocket from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds – a number that would make a Bugatti designer blush.
And the Bullet GT still handles like it‘s on rails at speeds that would see normal traffic cars careening off the road in a blazing inferno. Run the numbers, and it‘s clear this beast is engineered to conquer:
| Vehicle | Top Speed | 0-60 Time | Power | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bullet GT | 101 mph | 3.8s | 507 hp | 2,819 lbs |
But a handful of other legendary supercars giving it a run for the title of fastest car in Liberty City. Let‘s take a look at the top contenders gunning for the checkered flag:
The Competition – More Speed Machines of GTA IV
Pfister Comet
Blazing around the streets at 99 mph, the comet can look the Bullet‘s rear lights late into a highway run. This Porsche 911 replica boasts a cornering prowess that few can match with grip for days. Mash the gas off an onramp and this rear-engine speedster will glue you to the seat well north of 100 mph.
Infernus
With refined Italian power under the hood, the exotic Infernus dishes out a staggering 510 horsepower. Though its top end matches the Comet, it‘s blistering acceleration allows it to close distance gaps in the blink of an eye. Its mid-engine layout gives it precision balance and handling to complement its breakneck speed.
Super GT
In the right hands this all-wheel drive track monster can work magic on winding canyon roads and in competitive time trials. Agile steering and active differentials give the Super GT unmatched traction out of tight corners. And with 394 horses on tap, it rips to 60 mph in under 4 seconds flat.
Clearly the Bullet GT takes top honors for sheer top speed superiority. But diving into the stats shows a handful of elite challengers continuing to push the limits. These road rockets hit a sweet spot combining extreme speed with precision control right on the edge of grip.
Beyond the Limits – Mods, Glitches and Curbs
The performance benchmarks quoted for these cars come straight from the developer game files. But devoted players have found ways to push them far beyond their limits through creative modifications and techniques:
Curb boosting – By clipping a wheel on the curb through a corner, suspension physics glitches slingshot cars to ludicrous speeds (see video below). Repeated perfectly, curb boosting allows the Bullet GT to touch nearly 140 mph!

Custom game config files – On PC, editing the vehicle files directly gives players godmode power to bestow unlimited horsepower and gear ratios exceeding 320 mph!
GTA 6 concept cars – Already fans have started dreaming up custom concepts for new cars they hope will capture the speed crown in the next GTA installment. Popular ideas range from a modern McLaren P1 to a Ford GT40 throwback.
Clearly with mods and techniques like these, the boundaries of speed in Liberty City stretch as far as players can imagine. And with rumors swirling around the next gen GTA 6, we can count on a new class of hypercars gunning for the fastest ride around!
In my experience testing all of GTA IV‘s fastest cars to the absolute limit, the Bullet GT stands atop the pack as king of speed. And with enough tweakers and tuners obsessing over unlocking hidden performance, I can guarantee new contenders will rise up to challenge it!
