GTA Online features more than 800 vehicles in nearly every category imaginable—fighter jets, muscle cars, off-roaders, motorcycles, and more. Yet, most players only gravitate toward “meta” or popular choices, leaving many unique and capable vehicles forgotten in garages or never seen on the streets.
This list highlights ten of the most underrated vehicles in GTA Online—machines that offer excellent performance, customization, or utility, and are worth far more than their price tags suggest. Players who use safe GTA Online accounts often get the chance to enjoy overlooked vehicles much earlier than usual.
1. BF Weevil Custom
The BF Weevil Custom—an aggressive rat-rod–style variant with oversized wheels and roof spikes—is the fastest non-HSW car in the game, reaching 137.5 mph. While the Banshee 900R (not “GTS”) edges it out by a fraction, the difference is nearly impossible to notice.
To obtain one, players must first acquire a standard Weevil. It can be purchased for $870,000, or earned for free by completing English Dave’s three Cayo Perico–related errands. Afterward, the custom conversion can be applied at Benny’s for $980,000, making it significantly cheaper than many high-end supercars.
Although the Weevil Custom’s acceleration and handling are modest, its impressive straight-line speed and extensive visual customization options make it a standout for style and fun.
2. Bravado Brickade 6x6
Often known for its Acid Lab business potential, the Brickade 6x6 is overlooked as a powerful PvP and free-mode utility vehicle. It boasts the second-highest explosive resistance in the game, surviving 48 homing missiles, surpassed only by the MOC.
Despite its size, it drives surprisingly well for an armored truck, reaching speeds above 90 mph and offering bullet-resistant windows, proximity mines, and the ability to defend itself effectively against attackers.
3. HVY Insurgent Pick-Up Custom
This armored giant is nimble for its weight, pushing up to 98 mph and performing strongly off-road thanks to AWD and rugged tires. Its armor takes 27 homing missiles or 9 RPGs, outperforming the Rhino Tank in durability.
Its roof-mounted .50 caliber turret deals heavy damage to players and vehicles alike. With nine seats, it can transport nearly a third of a typical lobby. Fully upgrading requires purchasing the standard Insurgent Pick-Up for $1.8 million and converting it at the MOC or Avenger for $200,000.
4. Bravado Greenwood (Imani-Tech)
The Greenwood, based on the 1977 Dodge Monaco, is a stylish muscle sedan with access to Agency Imani Tech upgrades—including the Missile Lock-On Jammer and Armor Plating.
With full armor, it survives 12 homing missiles and 4 RPGs, matching most Imani Tech combustion vehicles. While it lacks mounted machine guns and bullet-resistant windows, its 119+ mph top speed and low cost ($1.4 million, or $1 million trade price) make it a surprisingly effective defensive vehicle.
5. Pegassi Bati 801RR
For only $15,000, the Bati 801RR offers remarkable performance. Fully upgraded, it reaches 135 mph and can out-lap many supercars, including the Coil Cyclone II and Truffade Thrax.
Even in its stock form, it can complete all time trials and serves as a money-making tool for new players. It offers exceptional value and performance at a nearly negligible price.
6. Karin Sultan (Base Model)
Not to be confused with the Sultan RS, Sultan Classic, or their Benny’s variants, the basic Sultan is a hidden gem that can be stolen from the street or purchased for $12,000.
Fully upgraded, it reaches 116 mph and outperforms some HSW-modified vehicles in lap times. Despite being overshadowed by newer Sultan variants, the original still provides excellent handling, solid speed, and a fun driving experience.
7. Western Company Rogue
The Western Company Rogue is a fast and affordable fighter aircraft priced at $1.6 million. Capable of 219 mph, it includes homing missiles, an explosive autocannon, bomb options, and defensive flares.
Its reputation for jittery or unpredictable handling causes many players to overlook it, but with the right handling package, it becomes an excellent training aircraft and a versatile all-rounder for combat.
8. Vapid Dominator (Pißwasser Variant)
Included for free with the Criminal Enterprise Starter Pack on PC, the Pißwasser Dominator is a significant upgrade over the standard Dominator. It accelerates 1.3 seconds faster than the base model and reaches 125 mph—a notable improvement for a minimal cost.
Even without the free variant, purchasing it for $315,000 gives players a strong and stylish muscle car that handles well and sounds aggressive. While not as customizable as the Dominator ASP, it remains an excellent performance-per-dollar choice.
9. Ubermacht Sentinel XS (HSW compatible)
The Sentinel XS is the only HSW-eligible car that can be stolen directly from the street. With HSW upgrades applied, it becomes a fast and agile sports coupe with strong grip, acceleration, and braking.
It commonly spawns near Vinewood’s Tequi-la-la between 10 PM and 4 AM, making it easy to acquire for free. At a purchase price of $60,000, it remains a bargain even when bought legitimately.
10. Bravado Half-Track
The Half-Track excels in both armor and offensive capability. Its durability matches the Insurgent Pick-Up Custom and Nightshark, surviving 27 homing missiles or 9 RPGs. Thanks to an unpatched quirk, its front windows are completely bulletproof.
With its quad-barrel machine gun turret and the ability to throw explosives from the driver’s window (when window armor is omitted), the Half-Track dominates both PvP encounters and NPC-heavy missions. Priced at $2.2 million, it becomes nearly unstoppable with a dedicated gunner.
Conclusion
Many of GTA Online’s lesser-used vehicles offer exceptional speed, defense, customization, and value—often outperforming or rivaling options that cost several times more. Whether players seek fast bikes, PvP armored vehicles, or budget-friendly performance cars, these ten underrated picks provide unique advantages that make them well worth owning.
These overlooked machines prove that in a game with 800+ vehicles, some of the best choices aren’t always the most popular ones.
