GTA Online: Best Vehicles, Ranked

Thriving in San Andreas requires a great set of wheels, but just what are the best vehicles in Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto Online?

Most of the best cars in GTA Online provide players with a tank on wheels that can take its fair share of rockets, or to the point where they are even bulletproof altogether. The best cars for missions in GTA Online will be a gift to those who want to succeed and build a criminal empire from the safety of their ride.

The overflod Entity MT isn’t going to save players in an intense gunfight, but it’s definitely a fast vehicle that will get them around in style. For a lot of missions in GTA Online, it’s not about bringing a tank to a fight, but instead, getting to the destination in the fastest and safest way possible, and the Overflod Entity MT can do just that.

This is one of the best Super Cars in GTA Online, and its sleek hood makes it easier to ram into cars, and the fact that the back windows are so obscured means there is more cover when shooting from inside the vehicle itself.

7 Nightshark

A Large Vehicle Capable of Withstanding Countless Missiles

For players who are sick and tired of griefers within the open-world while they are trying to achieve some free-roam activities, the Nightshark is nearly essential. Not only does it have a great top speed compensated by its size, but the real solidifier for the Nightshark being a great vehicle in missions is how many explosives it can withstand.

The Nightshark can take 27 homing launchers and Oppressor missiles, as well as 9 RPGs and grenades. No other vehicle can withstand the damage that the Nightshark can, so next time players want to do missions in free roam, this is the car to pick.

An armored vehicle that can reach high speeds, utilize a boost, and submerge in water without breaking? The Toreador is definitely the right choice for those with the money to afford it. The rocket boost aids in its speed, and the fact that it can be used to cross waters by becoming a submarine shows why this vehicle is so fun on land or sea.

The Toreador is quick and can take around 6 missiles from Oppressors and homing launchers, and on top of its defensive capabilities, it can also fire missiles of its own with an infinite variety of tracking missiles perfect for use on NPC vehicles.

The Oppressor Mk2 is a vehicle that most experienced players of GTA Online will be familiar with. Whether it’s out of fear or desire, the Oppressor Mk2 has been the perpetrator of death for many: victim or murderer. The Oppressor Mk2 may be limited to free roam, but for those activities within the open-world, it excels.

The Oppressor Mk2 has a rocket boost and can easily travel in the air like a jet, allowing players to cross oceans and the entire GTA Online map within minutes without the need for roads. On top of its high speeds and flight, the Oppressor Mk2 can use homing launchers that will certainly make NPC and players fear its wrath.

Sometimes, players need to take a portable tank onto the battlefield if they want a chance at becoming a criminal mastermind in GTA Online. One such vehicle that can get players to where they need to go is the Insurgent Pick-Up Custom, which might set players back a few million dollars considering it needs to be converted with the Mobile Operations Center (MOC) or the Avenger Workshop.

Bring bundles of cash, because customizing the best cars in GTA Online isn't going to be cheap, especially when there are hundreds of choices.

By 

Once acquired, the Insurgent Pick-Up is a beast on the road that can tank an equal amount of hits to the Nightshark, meaning a homing launcher is going to need a total of 27 rockets and a lot of patience. This vehicle can be used in missions to support a whole squad with its bulletproof design and gunner seat on the roof.

3 Weaponized Tampa

A VIP Mission Carrier with a Minigun Mount

A vehicle that excels at VIP missions, the Weaponized Tampa is back to the more basics of vehicles, as it can’t exactly go underwater or use rocket boosts, but it can annihilate with the minigun mounted to the roof of the car, and the fact that it can reach high speeds for the most dangerous of missions.

The Weaponized Tampa also doesn’t have the best armor, and players are going to be vulnerable to just a single rocket launcher, but that doesn’t mean its bulletproof design and minigun mount won’t benefit players in missions where enemies are in abundance.

2 Vigilante

The Batmobile That Can Destroy Cars in Style

Loading into a mission and literally becoming Batman might be the dream of many in GTA Online, and while players can’t exactly wear the cape and the cowl, they most definitely can take the Batmobile itself. The Vigilante is the Batmobile, blatantly, and it’s a lot of fun to drive within GTA Online missions that require a speedy tank.

The Armored Kuruma is a classic from the early days of GTA Online, benefiting the most from heists thanks to its armored design. The Armored Kuruma may be vulnerable to rocket launchers, but within missions where it’s just NPC enemies, this vehicle truly outshines thanks to the fact that it’s completely bulletproof, and nothing is getting through those windows.

Players can all sit in the Armored Kuruma and mow down enemies with the wheels and a barrage of bullets from their pistols, It’s a bunker on wheels and definitely benefits from heists where there is an overwhelming amount of enemies.
