Highlights
- Speed is key in GTA Online Time Trials for earning $100,000 daily; vehicles like LM87 and Itali GTO excel.
- Vagner, Itali GTO, and Vigero ZX HSW offer top performance and handling for Time Trials challenges.
- Hakuchou Drag HSW is a pricey upgrade but guarantees lightning speed for easier completion of Time Trials.
In a game like Grand Theft Auto Online where players can ride different vehicles, speed is all that makes that adrenaline rush. Players don't want to hop on a slow vehicle to roam around the city and always look for something that goes fast. Devs are also familiar with this fact and thus the game has a freemode event called Time Trials. As the name suggests, the aim is just to go from point A to point B before the time expires.
GTA Online Confirms Big Summer Update Plans
Rockstar announces a variety of new content that's set to reach GTA Online in summer 2024, a few months ahead of the game's 11th anniversary.
The daily event is quite rewarding as it gives players $100,000 every time for beating the challenge. Earlier, the Time Trials were weekly events, However, Rockstar Games turned this into a daily event in 2023, further increasing their value. Players have to use normal land vehicles, that is, vehicles not equipped with rocket boost, as it makes things much simpler. So here are the best vehicles players can use to beat the Time Trials and in-cash the sweet $100,000 every day in GTA Online.
8 Benefactor LM87
Price: $2,915,000
Based on | Sauber Mercedes C9 |
|---|---|
Where to buy | Legendary Motorsport |
Top speed | 128.50 mph |
LM87 is a fan-favourite vehicle in GTA Online. It is a quick single-seater supercar. Owing to rear-wheel drive only, it is not the greatest launch, but it is decent. However, this vehicle has a speed glitch which makes it go much faster than it should. The trick is to have a high FPS and the LM87 will go berserk so much that it will start vibrating. It also has extremely high downforce, which makes it easier to control and makes it easier to handle.

Buying or finding a boat to travel on the water is just too boring when players can use their amphibious vehicles to traverse in GTA Online.
7 Dewbauchee Vagner
Price: $1,535,000
Based on | Aston Martin Valkyrie |
|---|---|
Where to buy | Legendary Motorsport |
Top speed | 126.75 mph |
Vagner is a "bang for your buck" vehicle in GTA Online. It is among the cheapest supercars, but it doesn't compare with performance. It has everything that players need to complete the Time Trials. It is fast, has high downforce and easily turns around the corner. Vanger is such an underrated car that many players don't even know about it, as the supercar meta is ruled by vehicles like Deveste Eight, Emerus and Krieger.
6 Grotti Itali GTO
Price: $1,965,000
Based on | Ferrari 812 Superfast |
|---|---|
Where to buy | Legendary Motorsport |
Top speed | 127.75 mph |
The Itali GTO is a relatively cheaper sports car that rules the category when it comes to racing. Fans of Grotti Itali RSX hate Itali GTO as it is a much better and substantially cheaper option. Itali GTO effectively makes use of the curb boosting technique in GTA Online and goes much faster than intended.
In addition, players can control this vehicle much better owing to its over-the-top handling. GTO also has great looks and players can use this one in the free mode too.
5 Declasse Vigero ZX HSW
Price: $1,947,000 (base) + $550,000 (HSW Upgrade)
Based on | Chevrolet Camaro Gen VI |
|---|---|
Where to buy | Southern San Andreas Super Autos |
Top speed | 157.50 mph |
HSW upgrades are the exclusive tunings for some selected vehicles on the next-gen consoles, i.e., PlayStation 5 and Xbox X|S, that tremendously upgrade the speed of vehicles. The Vigero ZX is on this short list of vehicles. This upgrade takes the 2nd or 3rd best muscle car in GTA Online to the top spot.
It is one of the fastest vehicles on land, which just makes the Time Trials much easier. Since it is a muscle car, players can experience some understeering, but it is manageable.
4 Grotti Itali GTO Stinger TT HSW
Price: $2,380,000 (base) + $1,418,000 (HSW Upgrade)
Based on | Ferrari Roma |
|---|---|
Where to buy | Legendary Motorsport |
Top speed | 168.50 mph |
The Itali GTO Stinger TT lives up to its humongous name as it is the most worth-owning vehicle on this list. Not only does Stinger TT have an HSW upgrade, but it can also be equipped with Imani Tech which gives it armor plating and, the missile lock-on jammer. When it comes to HSW vehicles, the Stinger TT has the highest top speed. However, this vehicle has subpar vehicles and can have a hard time on twistier routes.
3 Western Powersurge
Price: $1,605,000
Based on | 2019 Harley-Davidson LiveWire |
|---|---|
Where to buy | Legendary Motorsport |
Top speed | 130.00 mph |
Powersurge is the fastest motorcycle in the last-gen and PC versions of GTA Online and is only behind Hakuchou Drag HSW on the next-gen consoles. It is an electric motorcycle and thus a lightning-quick launch. Powersurge also has a speed glitch and goes much faster than its base top speed.
GTA Online: 8 Pointless Vehicles That Are Not Worth Unlocking
There are a lot of vehicles that players can own in GTA Online. However, the following examples serve little practical purpose.
Players can experience understeer while riding it, but it can be handled easily. At its price point, it is a much more attractive vehicle to decimate the Time Trials.
2 Pegassi Bati 801
Price: $15,000
Based on | Ducati 848 |
|---|---|
Where to buy | Southern San Andreas Super Autos |
Top speed | 135.00 mph |
Bati 801 is the best budget-friendly vehicle ever to bless the GTA Online. At a mere $15,000 price tag, this 2-wheeler beast gives unparalleled value. It is among the top 5 bikes in the game due to its over-the-top speed and smooth handling. The price point is what makes it stand out.
How to Play GTA Online Alone
If you want to jump into GTA Online but don't want to interact with other players, this guide has you covered.
Newer players can easily get their hands on this and earn $100,000 daily, which will help in the early stages of their criminal career. In addition, players can find this bike on the streets and can make it their personal vehicle after installing a tracker and buying insurance from Los Santos Customs.
1 Shitzu Hakuchou Drag HSW
Price: $976,000 (base) + $1,450,000 (HSW Upgrade)
Based on | Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa |
|---|---|
Where to buy | Legendary Motorsport |
Top speed | 157.50 mph |
Hakuchou Drag is a more expensive and better version of the normal Hakuchou that players see on the streets of Los Santos. It has a wider long base which gives it its unique appearance. But what makes it special is that players can slap on the HSW upgrade to it from LS Car Meet and make it lightning quick.
It will make the time trials a piece of cake and players will be able to complete the challenge with substantial time remaining. On top of that, it can also help them to clear the HSW Time Trials that are also exclusive to next-gen consoles and reward players with $250,000. So the value proposition for getting the Hakuchou Drag HSW is quite high.
