Cars have always been a major aspect of the Grand Theft Auto series, being a staple that players strive to collect. From regular cars to supercars, there has always been a wide selection of vehicles to drive. GTA 5 is no different, with a large array of cars to zip through the streets of Los Santos with.
The Online mode has only furthered this selection, adding new cars and vehicles over the many years it has been active. While the top speed of a car has always been a focal point of players, acceleration can be just as important, dictating if a player can get away before trouble really starts to begin. Acceleration may not be as useful on the longer roads, but given GTA 5’s many urban areas with corners and junctions, acceleration cars can thrive here, with various rides to choose from.

A lot of the amazing cars and vehicles in GTA are expensive. The Torero XO is one of the high-end cars, costing almost $3 million. But its stats, especially acceleration, back its expense up.
The Torero XO’s acceleration is fast, able to speed away extremely quickly. It can get into high numbers very fast, with its top speed helping to maintain its speedy nature. Its other stats are also worthy, making for a capable car all-around. However, the great acceleration makes sure anyone that’s behind its wheel will leave others in the dust.

Given the chaos of Los Santos, having a car that can function in combat can be a useful tool. The Weaponized Ignus is just such a vehicle, fitted with a powerful gun, as well as being a competent car on top of it.
The acceleration is fast, allowing for easy getaways that a slower car might not be able to do. It is able to speed away before things really start to hit the fan. The top speed and handling are also bonuses to the car, making for not only a fast acceleration car, but a great acquisition in general for those that have the money, and that’s not even mentioning the HSW upgrades available for it.

Joining the already vast roster of cars with the Criminal Enterprises update, the Obey Omnis e-GT defined its presence with its quick acceleration. While not the definitive best acceleration car, it is still able to speed up quickly, allowing players to zip away at a nimble speed.
The e-GT is able to reach 62 mph (100 kph) in 2.50 seconds, making for quick getaways at a standstill. However, it isn’t the fastest car at its top speed. There are other cars that can overtake it, which can prove problematic when being chased by other players. Sticking to roads with turns and junctions can be powerful with this car though, given its acceleration.

As the successor of the first Cyclone, it would be expected for the Cyclone 2 to be a better car. Its speed is indeed faster than the first Cyclone, with its acceleration also being improved over the original, such that it is one of the best cars in that category.
Its top speed might not rank it among the fastest of the cars in GTA 5 Online, but it can accelerate to 62 mph (100 kph) in 1.70 seconds. Additionally, when improved with the HSW performance upgrade, this acceleration speed can get even faster, surpassing even the top car on this list.

Introduced with the Last Dose event during the Los Santos Drug Wars, the Ocelot Virtue is the fastest acceleration car in the game, not including rocket-boosted vehicles. As a supercar, it is naturally fast. While it might not hold the title for top speed, its acceleration can arguably be more important, especially when driving in urban areas.
From a stop, it can get to 62 mph (100 kph) in 1.53 seconds, making it the fastest car for acceleration. The only other car that challenges this title is the Coil Cyclone II, as it can reach a higher acceleration, but only with upgrades.
