List of the fastest helicopters from GTA Online - as of 2021
This is how it is sorted: In this overview we show you two tables.
- The fastest helicopters sorted by lap time
- The fastest helicopters sorted by top speed
We make this distinction for the various uses of the helicopter. In races, lap times are often more important than top speed.
We get the data for this from YouTuber Broughy1322, who has made it his business to put all vehicles and planes through their (via paces YouTube.com ). At top speeds, he calculates the speed over a longer period of time. So not the top during a boost. We use his analysis for our tables.
Note: The speedometers and cockpit instruments in GTA Online are not particularly reliable in experience. Broughy's numbers correspond to the “real” speed of the helicopters. It is quite possible that GTA Online sometimes shows you different values for the speed. But that doesn't change the ranking.
The thing to note is that there are many variables when it comes to top speed in GTA Online. Which may lead to different (and higher) top speeds. Beyond that, however, is the fact that the in-game speedometer and other forms of speed measurement either do not work or are at least inaccurate ( example on YouTube ). So if you compare this to your own observations, you will most likely get wrong results.

In the first place you will find the Sparrow. It's still quite new and came with the Cayo Perico DLC into play . Although the helicopter does not offer champagne on board, it is heavily armed and super fast. In addition, with a purchase price of 1,815,000 GTA dollars, it is still quite affordable.
