Fastest Cars in GTA Vice City - Full List

The fastest car in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is Infernus, with a top speed of 149 mph (239.8 kmh). This car is one of the archetypal cars of the whole GTA franchise since it appears in more than five games. Check out all the fastest cars in this game below:

Infernus

This supercar is inspired by the Lamborghini Countach, and it's renowned for its top speed of 149.13 mph, which makes it the fastest car in the entire game. You'll find Infernus parked in front of Diaz's mansion, but you can also find it in the car parking next to North Point Mall.

This car appears in three missions - The Party, Back Alley Brawl, and Guardian Angels, and some of the most notable owners of this car in the game are Ricardo Diaz, Vercetti Crime Family, and Lance Vance. 

Cheetah

Based on Ferrari Testarossa, Cheetah appears in two versions in the game - as both a civilian and a police car. This car can reach the top speed of 142.92 miles per hour and appears in several other games from the GTA franchise. You may find it near Ocean Beach near Colonel Cortez's yacht, Starfish Island north of Ricardo Diaz's mansion, and Vice City Beach. Two notable owners own this vehicle in the game-Lance Vance and Ricardo Diaz.

Hotring Racer

This sports car is based on Ford Thunderbird Gen IX, popular during the '80s. Hotring Racer can reach a top speed of 136.70 mph, which also appears in GTA: San Andreas. After completing the fourth import side mission, you'll be able to find this car on the Sunshine Autos' second floor. In addition, there's also a cheat code you can use to spawn it.

Next in line, we have the Stinger, a car that drew inspiration from Ferrari Daytona Spyder. It can reach a top speed of up to 124.27 mp/h, appearing in four other GTA titles. This car spawns in front of a house in the center of Starfish Island and can also be seen near the Golf Club and North Downtown. The only notable owner of this car is Lance Vance.

Police Car

The first emergency car on our list is the Police Car, which is based on Ford LTD Gen IV and GM-Opel Senator A. It goes up to 124.27 miles per hour and appears in numerous other GTA Titles. One of the most iconic cars of the franchise, you can find the Police Car near any PD in GTA: Vice City and throughout the map.

A car that appears in several big GTA titles, The Phoenix drew inspiration from Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Trans Am. It can reach the top speed of 124.27 mp/h and is also one of the required cars for the Sunshine Autos Import Garage mission.
It's located on the northwestern part of Starfish Island, as well as Vice Beach.

Deluxo

This sports car is based on the design of the DeLorean DMC-12, but it's also influenced by Renault Alpine GTA/A610, Audi Quattro from the '80s, as well as Volkswagen Corrado from the early nineties. This car appears in two other GTA titles - Vice City Stories and GTA Online, but for some reason, it's not included in GTA V. The Deluxo can reach a top speed of 124.27 mp/h. The only location where you can find this car in GTA: Vice City is inside the Sunshine Autos after completing the first import mission. 

Comet

This is the eight fastest car in the game, and its designers took the inspiration from Alfa Romeo Spider, Datsun 240Z, and Porsche 914. It shares the same top speed of 124.27 with six other cars since Rockstar Games did not make the top speeds that accurate during their earlier titles. This is one of the wanted cars for the Sunshine Autos Import Garage missions, and it also appears in several other GTA games. The notable owners of this car are Lance Vance and Diaz's gang, and you'll be able to find it in the garage of the house on Starfish Island, in front of the Leaf Links Golf Club, as well as near Ocean Beach. 

Blista Compact

One of the rare coupes appearing on our list, Blista Compact is inspired by Honda CR-X Gen I. This car, like a few previous ones, can reach a top speed of up to 124.27 mp/h. It's one of the required cars for the Sunshine Autos Import Garage mission, more precisely, the 1st list of Sunshine Autos. 

On top of that, this car appears in a few other GTA games and will also appear in the upcoming one - GTA VI, which is confirmed by the Rockstar Games' infamous leak. The only places in GTA: Vice City where you can find this car are near the Hyman Memorial Stadium parking lot and Little Haiti and Havana. 

Banshee

One of the most legendary cars of the entire GTA series that appears in multiple games of this franchise, The Banshee is based on the Corvette C4, a quite popular car of the mid-80s. It can reach the top speed of 124.27 mp/h, and it's on the 3rd list of the Sunshine Autos Import Garage mission. You can find it after Vice Street Racer rases, on Starfish Island near a mansion, and in Washington Beach. 

FBI Washington

One of the rare emergency cars that appear on our list, the FBI Washington is a specially designed car in GTA: Vice City inspired by the Lincoln Continental, Cadical Seville, and Cimarron, as well as BMW 7 Series. This car can reach the top speed of 118.06 mph, and the only other GTA game in which it appears is the GTA Vice City Stories. The only owners of this car are, of course, the FBI, and you'll be able to find it parked behind the Rock City music store, south of the Well Stacked Pizza Co. in Downtown Vice City. 

Washington

Despite being pretty much the same vehicle as the previous one but made for civilians, this car is actually slower than its FBI counterpart. Washington is a sedan based on the same cars that FBI Washington got inspiration from FBI Washington, and it's part of the 2nd list of Sunshine Autos.

Being so a popular car, it also appears in a few other GTA games, and you'll be able to find it anywhere Downtown, near the Escobar International Airport, as well as near Ocean Beach and Vice Point.

• Avery Carrington

Furthermore, the Stretch also appears in seven main missions, which is probably the reason for its unrealistic top speed.

Sabre Turbo

It can reach the top speed of 111.85 miles per hour, and just like many previously mentioned cars, it also appears in a few other GTA games.

The second limousine to appear in GTA: Vice City, Love Fist is actually the modified Stretch, and it's used exclusively by the most famous rock band in GTA: Vice City - Love Fist. However, this version is shorter and has some aggressive mods, including the exhaust pipes mounted on its sides, as well as the supercharged engine. 

This car can reach 111.85 miles per hour, and it only appears during the Love Fist missions. However, you can spawn it using the cheat code. 

Sandking

One of a few SUVs appearing in GTA: Vice City, the Sandking is entirely modeled after the Mitsubishi Pajero Rally Raid Car from 1985.

Another SUV present in GTA: Vice CIty, the Rancher is based on Chevrolet K30. This car can go up to 105.63 miles per hour, and it's featured in a few other Grand Theft Auto games.

Patriot

The only military vehicle appearing in our list, the Patriot is entirely inspired by the Humvee - AM General HMMWV. Despite its great weight and size, it can reach a top speed of 105.63 miles per hour, and this car is also present in every other GTA game.

You can find the Patriot near Phil Cassidy's hideout in Little Haiti, inside the Fort Baxter air base, and a film studio on Prawn Island. The only notable owners of the Patriot in GTA: Vice City are Phil Cassidy and the army. 

FBI Rancher

And lastly, FBI Rancher is a modified version of a Rancher. It has the same stats as the regular vehicle (105.63 mp/h) and is based on the same real-life car - Chevrolet K30. However, this car only appears once you get the five-star wanted level, and is driven exclusively by the FBI.
