In our top 12, we present the fastest cars in GT7 in detail.

Here's the cars you should be saving all that hard earned creditola for:
01
Bugatti Veyron 16.4 '13
- Power: 986hp
- Price: 2 Million Credits

When it comes to the sheer power of a street-legal hypercar, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 '13 is a legendary vehicle. This also applies in Gran Turismo 7, where the Frenchman ranks 10th among the fastest cars in the game. With eight liters of displacement, all-wheel drive, and several power upgrades make the Veyron quite interesting for high-speed races that require a vehicle from the road car category. Luxury doesn’t come cheap, though, at 2 million in-game credits.
Gran Turismo F1500T-A
- Power: 986hp
- Price: 1 Million Credits

As fast as the Bugatti Veyron above from a Horse Power perspective, but with a lower centre of gravity and we'd argue a better look, the Gran Turismo F1500T-A is just an all-round beast that is a joy to drive. It is on the lighter side of many equations though, which means it can be a bit unruly in tight corners but its V6 engine means it's very, very quick off the mark. Oh, did we meantion it's just so much fun to drive? You can buy this beauty for a measly 1 Million Credits or earn it by getting Gold in the "Gone with the Wind" campaign.

A Roadster that roast... ers other cars (sorry, not sorry)

We mean, yeah it's a pretty like-for-like option between the Jaguar VGT Roadster and the Jaguar VGT Coupé below, but why wouldn't you want options if you can afford them? Maybe the Roadster takes you to the shops, and the Coupé is for school dropoffs?! Ahem. At any rate, equal in power with 1004hp between them, the Roadster makes its Gran Turismo debut in this game, while the Coupé has featured before by way of GT Sport, so long time fans have a new toy in GT7 which makes the Roadster just that little bit more special.
This one is easy enough to find like its sibling below in Brand Central under the Jaguar section.

Jaguar VGT Coupé

With a weight of 1400kg, the “Jag” is anything but light. But if it’s speed you need, there is no shortage of it here.
The Jaguar VGT Coupé is available in GT7's Brand Central directly from the manufacturer. This coupe version will set you back 1 million credits.

Slightly more powerful and just as expensive is the Dodge SRT Tomahawk S Vision GT, which you can buy at the manufacturer's Brand Central. The Performance Points value of 916.17 already reveals that the Dodge is significantly faster than the 9th place Jaguar, thanks to the powerful naturally aspirated 7 litre V10 engine and the low weight of just 921 kg.

With a steep price of 3.6 million credits, the Ferrari FXX K '14 is one of the most expensive cars in Gran Turismo 7, but also one of the fastest. In order to be able to afford the Italian racehorse at all, you'll have to put in a few hours of playtime to earn the right to tame this thoroughbred.

With the fourth fastest car in Gran Turismo 7 we start to nudge the 1,500 horsepower mark. The 1,449hp of the US concept car is eye-watering amounts of power. Thanks to a weight of just 663 kg, the "hatchet" can accelerate harder than almost anything else.
Almost.

The fastest car in Gran Turismo 7 is the Dodge SRT Tomahawk X VGT, and it’s not even close. The ultimate vision of the US concept car has an incredible 2,586hp (over 700hp more than the Jaguar!). Thanks to its low weight of just 749 kg, the acceleration and top speed of the futuristic race car are beyond comprehension. Nevertheless, the X VGT handles fantastically - at least once you've gotten used to the absurd speeds beyond the 600kph (370+ mph) mark.
Gran Turismo 7 Trophy Guide: Speed Demon/Speed Archdemon
For the PlayStation trophies Speed Demon and Speed Archdemon, you have to reach a speed of 500 kph and 600 kph respectively in Gran Turismo 7. Both are the easiest to obtain with the fastest car in the game, the Dodge SRT Tomahawk X VGT.
To acquire the trophies, navigate to "World Tracks" on the GT7 world map and select the track "Special Stage Route X" in the "Americas” section. It has the longest straights the game has to offer.
For the Speed Archdemon trophy you have to reach 600 km/h.

Start a timed race there in the X VGT and just go full throttle on the over ten kilometer long straight. Then hold down the R3 button to activate the nitrous system (if you have it installed) or turbo which will give you an extra speed boost. The Speed Archdemon trophy and a top speed around 630kph (approx. 391.5mph) will be yours using GT7’s King of Speed, the Dodge SRT Tomahawk X VGT.
