17 Tailgater S

Top Speed: 115.75 MPH

Tailgater S
  • Stock Price: $1,495,000 (Legendary Motorsport)

  • Total Upgrade Cost: $675,349

A vehicle that provides comfort in design and performance, the Tailgater S will set players back a hefty amount of money, but it's the price to pay for luxury. The vehicle itself drives pretty well thanks to its high acceleration and handling, but it doesn't give the appearance that some might crave from an underground Tuner vehicle.

16 Dinka RT3000

Top Speed: 119.25 MPH

Dinka RT3000
  • Stock Price: $1,715,000 (Southern S.A. Super Autos)

Speed

33.33

Handling

78.18

A steep price can make all the difference, and with the Dinka RT3000, players will leave the competition in the dust when it comes to those classic street races. The vehicle might seem small, but that's perfect for being underestimated, as the Dinka RT3000 is a competent vehicle with great stats.

15 Vulcar Warrener HKR

Top Speed: 106.50 MPH

Vulcar Warrener HKR
  • Only obtainable through other players at the LS Car Meet.
  • Total Upgrade Cost: $317,350

Speed

Acceleration

66.25

Braking

31.67

Handling

65.45

Despite being sturdy and reliable, this is a vehicle that won't catch a nice eye. It's an expensive piece of kit that doesn't seem to earn much love based on its pickup appearance, so it might be hard for some fans out there to make this work and increase their street cred if they're rolling around in a mediocre car that they overpaid for.

14 Vapid Dominator ASP

Top Speed: 119 MPH

Vapid Dominator ASP
  • Stock Price: $1,775,000 (Southern S.A. Super Autos)
  • Trade Price: $1,331,250 (Random chance after 5 Los Santos Tuners Reputation levels)

Handling

75.50

Stylistic and desirable, this muscle car-inspired vehicle will truly dominate the competition in terms of performance and appearance. It might not be a classic, but it's old-school enough to catch an eye or two. Players can easily turn this vehicle into a beast worthy of the road and watchful eyes.

13 Karin Sultan RS Classic

Top Speed: 117.50 MPH

Karin Sultan RS Classic
  • Stock Price: $1,789,000 (Southern S.A. Super Autos)

At first glance, players might not be too impressed with the Karin Sultan RS Classic, especially when it looks like a vehicle perfect for an aunt. Yet, it has the performance that makes it a sleeper pick, and players can expect an impressive ride that can make some races seem like a thrilling breeze.

12 Karin Previon

Karin Previon

  • Trade Price: $1,117,500 (Random chance after 5 Los Santos Tuners Reputation levels)
  • Total Upgrade Cost: $670,290

Speed

Acceleration

Braking

Handling

75.35

Another willingly expensive addition to any garage, the Previon provides players with a dangerous ride, one that could be in their favor or against them based on how much they have spent on modifications and who is holding the wheel. It's a fairly modest car, and doesn't look the most attractive, especially for that price.

11 Cypher

Top Speed: 113.50 MPH

Cypher
  • Stock Price: $1,550,000 (Legendary Motorsport)
  • Trade Price: $1,162,500 (Random chance after 5 Los Santos Tuners Reputation levels)

Acceleration

Braking

Handling

When purchasing something from Legendary Motorsport, players should expect a pricey ride but one that exceeds their expectations. The Cypher can provide that desire, with a powerful and intimidating engine that will see players s peed across Los Santos like a desirable supercar. Its appearance also makes for a great addition for those riding to impress.

10 Growler

Top Speed: 121.50 MPH

Growler
  • Stock Price: $1,627,000 (Legendary Motorsport)
  • Trade Price: $1,220,050 (Random chance after 5 Los Santos Tuners Reputation levels)
  • Total Upgrade Cost: $575,480

Speed

79.70

The Growler's name is very much deserving, as this puppy will growl its way to first place thanks to its intense speed and acceleration. The vehicle is humble and respectable in appearance and handling, providing players with a vehicle that will look just as good as it performs, and the asking price isn't too bad.

9 Vectre

Top Speed: 115.25 MPH

Vectre
  • Stock Price: $1,785,000 (Legendary Motorsport)
  • Trade Price: $1,338,750 (Random chance after 5 Los Santos Tuners Reputation levels)

Handling

79.85

The Vectre seems to stubborn to go quietly, and this vehicle doesn't exactly look the part for an underground vehicle, but all it does is prove how much cash the player who owns this vehicle has. The vehicle is impressionable and violent, and those with it can live a supermodel lifestyle and avoid the outdated classics and rustbuckets that prefer performance over appearance.

8 Comet S2

Top Speed: 123 MPH

Comet S2
  • Stock Price: $1,878,000 (Legendary Motorsport)
  • Trade Price: $1,408,500 (Random chance after 5 Los Santos Tuners Reputation levels)
  • Total Upgrade Cost: $526,879

Braking

29.33

Handling

The Comet S2 goes far beyond just being a fast car with great stats. Players are going to be amazed by the performance, but even more so by the pricey cosmetics and modifications. The Comet S2 is a great vehicle that leaves strong impressions, and other players might desire it, especially with some liveries being directly inspired by Johnny Silverhand's Porsche from Cyberpunk 2077.
