Performance and handling
The Comet is a balanced sports car. It accelerates quickly, brakes well and corners with confidence, which makes it easy to drive fast through city streets. Its rear-engine layout gives it a slightly lively rear end, so be smooth with the throttle out of tight corners or it can oversteer. Compared with supercars like the Zentorno or Adder, it has a lower top speed, but in twisty city races its handling often makes up the difference. It is also a good car for new players, because it is forgiving and predictable.
With Franklin’s special ability, which slows time while driving, the Comet becomes even easier to handle at speed. See Franklin and the fastest cars in GTA 5 guide for comparisons.
Where to find or buy the Comet
Story mode
- Cheat: the quickest way, with COMET or the console sequence.
- On the street: Comets spawn in wealthy areas such as Rockford Hills, Vinewood Hills and Richman, often parked or driven by wealthy NPCs.
- Buy it: the Comet is sold on the Legendary Motorsport website in story mode. Bought cars are delivered to your character’s garage.
Once you have one, store it in a garage so it is saved, and customize it at Los Santos Customs.
GTA Online
In GTA Online, the Comet and its variants are sold on in-game car websites such as Legendary Motorsport and Southern San Andreas Super Autos, and some can be upgraded at Benny’s or through tuner updates. Prices change with weekly sales, so check the in-game websites or the weekly update for discounts.
Comet variants
| Variant | Description |
|---|---|
| Comet | The original sports car |
| Comet Retro Custom | A classic-styled version inspired by older models, upgraded at Benny’s |
| Comet Safari | A rally-style off-road version |
| Comet SR | A more aggressive, faster modern version |
| Comet S2 | A tuner-era model from the Los Santos Tuners update |
| Comet S2 Cabrio | The convertible version of the Comet S2 |
Each variant handles differently. The Comet SR is faster in a straight line, while the Comet Safari can leave the road and handle dirt tracks. The Comet S2 is popular with tuning fans.
Tuning tips
- Engine and transmission: upgrade fully for better acceleration and top speed.
- Brakes and suspension: improve control in corners.
- Turbo: a big boost to acceleration.
- Tires: bulletproof tires help in police chases.
- Armor: worth it if you use the Comet in missions where you take fire.
- Cosmetics: the Comet looks great with classic colors, racing stripes and sport rims.
In story mode, customization happens at Los Santos Customs. In GTA Online, some variants also use Benny’s and the LS Car Meet for tuner parts.
Best uses for the Comet
- City races and street driving where handling matters.
- Getaways from small police chases in tight streets.
- Car meets and photo sessions, thanks to its classic design.
- A reliable everyday car for Michael, Franklin or Trevor.
Driving tips
- Brake before corners and accelerate smoothly out of them to avoid spinning.
- Use the handbrake sparingly; the Comet grips well without drifting.
- Avoid heavy off-road sections unless you are using the Comet Safari.
- Use first-person view for precise driving in traffic.

Comet history in GTA
The Comet is one of the longest-running cars in the GTA series. It appeared in early games such as GTA III and GTA Vice City, and returned in GTA San Andreas and GTA IV before its GTA 5 version. Each version has been inspired by the same family of classic German sports cars, with the round headlights and sloping rear that fans recognize instantly. Its long history makes it a nostalgic favorite for longtime players, who often keep one in their garage as a tribute to the older games.
Comet in races
In GTA Online races, the Comet variants are competitive in the sports class, especially on technical tracks with many corners. Racers often choose the Comet SR or Comet S2 for their stronger performance, while the original Comet is a good learning car for new racers. In story mode street races with Franklin, the Comet is a solid choice that is easy to control at the limit, which helps you focus on racing lines rather than fighting the car.
Comet colors and styles
Classic silver, white, black and red suit the Comet best, but bold racing liveries also look great on the tuner versions. Matching the rim style to the era of the car, with classic rims on the Retro Custom and modern sport rims on the S2, gives the most authentic look. Car photographers in GTA Online often use the Comet in car meet photo sessions because of its timeless shape.
Keeping your Comet safe
In story mode, a car you spawn with a cheat is not saved automatically. Drive it into your character’s garage to keep it. If a stored car is towed after being left in the street, you can usually collect it from the police impound lot for a fee.
Is the Comet worth buying in GTA Online?
The original Comet is a stylish, affordable sports car, but it is not a top choice for competitive racing. If you want a Comet for performance, the SR and S2 versions are stronger. If you want a collector car with history and great looks, the original or the Retro Custom is perfect. Many players own both: one to race and one to admire in the garage.
