Elegy RH8

GTA Online Elegy RH8
Price: $0
Seats: 2
Class: Sports Car

What makes the Elegy special? The Elegy RH8 is particularly suitable for beginners because it is free. To get this car for free in your garage, you only need to sign up for the Social Club. Members registered in Rockstar’s Social Club save the purchase price of the RH8.

Its strengths include good acceleration, which harmonizes well with the overall performance. The traction is commendable, the car stays firmly on the road and is easy to steer.

Pros
  • Free
  • Good acceleration
  • Solid handling
  • Good for time trials
Cons
  • Top speed is not particularly high
  • Less suitable for stunts due to all-wheel drive

BF400

GTA Online Chiliad Bergauf Ziel Sprung
Price: $95,000
Seats: 2
Class: Off-road Motorcycle

What makes the BF-400 special? This off-road motorcycle made it onto our list because it’s suitable for various areas in GTA Online. When you pull a wheelie, you can reach a tremendous top speed with the BF-400, which is not to be underestimated in races. In off-road races, you will likely always be ahead with this motorcycle if you don’t make driving mistakes.

Time trials are an important element in GTA Online. With the BF-400, you can easily win these time trials that lead over rough terrain, just like the time trial Chiliad downhill, which rewards you with over $100,000 in less than a minute.

Pros
  • Medium beginner price
  • Easy handling suitable for beginners
  • Favorite in off-road races
Cons
  • Is not a racing motorcycle
  • Few use cases

Bati 801

GTA Online Bati 801
Price: $15,000
Seats: 2
Class: Motorcycle

What makes the Bati special? The Bati 801 can be recommended as a fast motorcycle. This bike ranks among the top motorcycles. The Bati 801 is particularly well-received as an option for time trials. When driven over long, straight stretches, you have a good chance with this bike.

Even beginners have good chances with the Bati 801 and can perform stunts like wheelies or stoppies without any problems. For the price of only $10,000, it is worth the investment.

Pros
  • Good for time trials
  • Low price to try out
  • Good for stunts
Cons
  • Point deduction in handling at high speeds
  • Less strong acceleration

Schafter V12 (Armored)

GTA Online Schafter V12
Price: $325,000
Seats: 4
Class: Civilian Vehicle

What makes the Schafter special? The Schafter features a solid top speed. We recommend the armored version here, but the Schafter V12 is also available in a non-armored version. The advantages of the armor are particularly significant in online mode, as you can survive the explosion of a mine.

If an opposing player has it out for you and places a bomb on the road, you may still escape with some luck, while other cars would explode.

Pros
  • Withstands an explosive weapon (1 grenade, 1 sticky bomb, 1 tank shot)
  • Relatively fast despite armor
  • 4 seats for multiple players
Cons
  • High purchase price for beginners
  • Not a racing car

Kuruma (Armored)

GTA 5 Online Kuruma GTA Fandom
Source: GTA.Fandom.com
Price: $525,000 or $698,250
Seats: 4
Class: Armored Civilian Vehicle

What makes the Kuruma special? To address the first question: You receive a big discount on the Kuruma after the Fleeca heist, which is why two prices are given here. This car is the armored version of the regular Kuruma.

The top speed could be considered “okay”, more in the midfield. The handling is predictable. You should realize that you are not buying this car to win races.

The main use of the armored Kuruma is missions and heists. Thanks to its armor, NPCs have a particularly hard time injuring you in this rolling bunker. You can comfortably complete missions like “A Job for a Titan” by taking out all enemies from the safety of this car.

However, the car is not equipped against explosions. Unlike the Schafter V12 Armored, the armored Kuruma cannot withstand a rocket or sticky bomb without exploding.

Pros
  • Top car for missions
  • Safe from trigger-happy enemies in online mode
  • Stable handling keeps you safe from A to B
  • 4 seats for the heist team
Cons
  • High purchase price
  • Not protected against explosives
  • Not particularly fast
