Dewbauchee Rapid GT at a glance

Rapid GT cheat code

In GTA 5 story mode, the Rapid GT cheat spawns the car next to you. Use it on a road or open space. The cheat may spawn either the coupe or the convertible version.

Enter the button sequence during gameplay without pausing on consoles, type it in the PC console after pressing the tilde key, or dial the number on the in-game phone. Cheats only work in story mode and disable trophies and achievements until you reload. For every vehicle code, see GTA 5 vehicle cheats.

Performance and handling

The Rapid GT is a grand tourer, built to be fast and stable rather than twitchy. It accelerates strongly, holds its line well at high speed and feels planted on highways, which makes it excellent for long drives across San Andreas, such as from Los Santos to Paleto Bay on the Great Ocean Highway. In tight city corners, it is a little less nimble than lighter cars like the Comet, but it is forgiving and easy to control. Its front-engine layout makes it less likely to spin than rear-engine cars when you accelerate out of corners.

Against supercars, the Rapid GT gives up some top speed, but it is a satisfying all-rounder that suits players who want a fast, classy car rather than a race machine. For speed comparisons, see the fastest cars in GTA 5.

The Rapid GT’s real-world inspiration

Like most GTA vehicles, the Rapid GT is a parody of a real car rather than a licensed model. Its long hood, sleek roofline and wide grille are clearly inspired by British grand tourers, and the Dewbauchee brand is GTA’s take on a famous British sports car maker known for elegant, powerful cars used in spy films. Rockstar changes details such as lights and badges, so the car feels familiar without copying any single real model. The Classic variant takes inspiration from older British sports cars of the 1960s.

Rapid GT vs other sports cars

The Rapid GT sits in the middle: not the most extreme, but one of the most pleasant to drive every day. For players who switch between missions and free roam often, that balance is a big plus.

Rapid GT in missions and free roam

In story mode, a Rapid GT is a good choice for missions that start with a long drive, because it covers ground quickly without being hard to handle. In free roam, the convertible version is ideal for enjoying the scenery of Vinewood Hills, the Great Ocean Highway and Mount Chiliad’s lower roads. Lowering the roof also lets you see more of the city around you, which is great for spotting collectibles or just enjoying the view.

Keeping your Rapid GT

Spawned cars are not saved automatically. Drive your Rapid GT into a character’s garage to keep it, and modify it at Los Santos Customs to make it your own. Each protagonist has their own garage, so you can keep a different Rapid GT style for Michael, Franklin and Trevor.

Whether you want a classy daily driver or a fast highway cruiser, the Rapid GT is one of the most satisfying cars to own in GTA 5, and the cheat makes it easy to try before you buy.
