Grand Theft Auto Online is notorious for its gaudy collection of extremely expensive items. The pricier an item is, the quicker it's bound to catch the attention of a player, generating a seemingly endless cycle of grinding for cash. Some items are strategic for beating certain missions, while others are purely for show.
It should come as no surprise that the costliest, most coveted items in GTA Online tend to be advanced, highly modified vehicles that include vintage cars like the Imponte Deluxo, military-grade planes like the JoBuilt P-996 Lazer Fighter Jet, luxury boats like the Aquarius Yacht, and many more.
Declasse Scramjet - $4,628,400
The Declasse Scramjet is a 60s-style Speed Racer-like sports car that functions as a weaponized supercar. It can be purchased at Warstock Cache & Carry, or it can be unlocked for a discounted price of $3,480,000 by winning a round of the Huntington Pack (Remix) Anniversary Mode.
With its sleek design and contoured body, the car is great for accelerating away from high-speed chases, reaching a top speed of 137 mph. Armed with machine guns and missile launchers, the Declasse Scramjet can also deal considerable damage. Despite its steep price, its cool retro-futuristic cars like these that fans want to see added to the series even more in Grand Theft Auto 6.
Imponte Deluxo - $4,721,500
Modeled after the classic Back to the Future DeLorean DMC-12, the Imponte Deluxo can hover off the ground and fly as if Doc Brown were at the wheel. While it cannot travel in the fourth dimension, the weaponized flying car is one of the best in GTA Online to drift with because of its all-wheel drivetrain. It's also a decent vehicle to race with.
Armed with machine guns and homing missiles when in fly mode, the Imponte Deluxo can be purchased at Warstock Cache & Carry, or it can be bought for a discount by completing the Doomsday Heist missions.
V-65 Molotok - $4,788,000
The V-65 Molotok is one of the most formidable defense aircraft in the mega-popular open-world video game. With Chaff, Flare, and Smoke defensive countermeasures to go with homing missiles and machine guns, the Korean-era fighter jet can be purchased at Warstock Cache & Carry or procured at a discount by completing 18 Air Freight Cargo Missions.
Despite its hefty price, the V-65 Molotok isn't all that different from other, cheaper jets in the game. While it is durable and very good at defense, it lacks the speed and maneuverability needed for intense combat.
Buckingham Swift Deluxe - $5,150,000
Modeled after the real-life AgustaWestland AW109, Bell 222, the Buckingham Swift Deluxe is a luxury gold-plated helicopter that cannot be sold or modified in the game. The aircraft can be purchased from Elitas Travel, and, fittingly, it does not come with a discount.
More for show than functionality, the Buckingham Swift Deluxe is akin to the basic Swift aircraft in the game. While it has greater agility and higher take-off speeds, the frame is slightly weaker and can incur more damage. As such, it's really only for the bored players who have tons of cash to burn and want to try something new.
Mammoth Tula - $5,173,700
Despite its cartoonish design patterned after the Kamen K-16, the Mammoth Tula is an amphibious military tilt-wing that has tremendous versatility. The flying boat can be purchased from Warstock Cache & Carry or at a discounted trade price after completing 21 Air Freight Cargo Missions.
With its advanced VTOL mode, 8 JATO propellor thrusters, miniguns, machine guns, mounted and dual .50 caliber guns, and a host of defensive countermeasures which require a co-pilot to use, the Mammoth is one of the most practical military vehicles on land or in water.
Imponte Ruiner 2000 - $5,745,600
Inspired by Kitt from the Knight Rider TV series, the Imponte Ruiner 2000 is a jet-black muscle car based on the classic 80s Pontiac Trans Am. The vehicle is ideal for racing and fighting at once, and can be purchased at Warstock Cache & Carry or at a discount by completing the related Special Work Vehicle Mission.
Upgrades to the basic Ruiner model include an overhauled interior, increased acceleration, rear-wheel drive, and a 5-speed gearbox. The car is also outfitted with parachutes to increase braking, a power hop system that allows the car to jump forward several meters, as well as machine guns and rocket launchers that pop out from the vents when driving.
RM-10 Bombushka - $5,918,500
At a price of just under $6 million, the RM-10 Bombushka is a formidable military cargo/gun plane up for purchase at Warstock Cache & Carry. Based on the Antonov AN-12, the aircraft is extremely slow and immobile but compensates with its powerful attack weapons
Powered by four turboprop engines and 8 JATO thrusters, the Bombushka is an ideal combat plane due to its trio of remote panoramic turrets outfitted with .50 cal machine guns and 30mm explosive cannons. With gas, explosive, cluster, and incendiary bomb options to target ground enemies with, the RM-10 Bombushka is a throwback fighter military aircraft ideal for a range of missions.
JoBuilt P-996 Lazer Fighter Jet - $6,500,000
As one of GTA Online's fastest and stealthiest fighter jets, the JoBuilt P-996 Lazer aircraft can reach up to 185 knots. Based on the F-16C Fighting Falcon, the jet boasts dual cannons in front, radar-guided missiles, and impenetrable armor. However, it lacks defensive countermeasures. It can be purchased at Warstock Cache & Carry without a discount.
The single-seat aircraft has extremely durable armor that is able to sustain two homing missile strikes before it is destroyed. The jet's lack of counters means that pilots must eject from the cockpit when in severe danger.
Aquarius Yacht - $8,000,000
One of the wild things fans did know they could do in GTA Online includes purchasing the ultra-luxurious Aquarius Yacht from DockTease for $8 million. Purely for showing off, the lavish 210-foot ocean liner comes equipped with two helipads, a hot tub, a giant sun deck, three upscale guest bedrooms, a Buckingham SuperVolito Carbon helicopter, Lampadati Toro speedboat, Nagasaki Dinghy, four Speedophile Seasharks, and much more.
The Galaxy Super Yacht is only worth purchasing for players who have too much time and money on their hands and want to live a decadent lifestyle on the water as a private captain travels them between 12 picturesque seaports. As one of the best Grand Theft Auto games, GTA Online offers something for everyone.
Buckingham Luxor Deluxe - $10,000,000
At a cost of $10 million from Elitas Travel, the Buckingham Luxor Deluxe is the most expensive item in GTA Online. The private jet is an upgraded version of the Luxor aircraft outfitted with a solid gold fuselage and an extremely luxurious interior equipped with VIP bottle service, cigars, internet access, etc.
With improved braking but downgraded handling and acceleration, the Luxor Deluxe is an ostentatious vehicle reserved for the game's most affluent players with nothing left to do in the game but collect shiny baubles and indulge in upscale decadence.
