It wasn’t a part of GTA Online from the start, but when it made its entrance, it got a lot of attention and still does to this very day. It makes sense as this car is still one of the most stylish cars in the game, based on my personal opinion!

With high top speeds and equally excellent handling on any terrain or road, this car is still one to watch for in the game.

Stats of the X80 Proto

Next, it’s time to put our thinking caps on to think about the statistics of the X80 Proto and what they will mean for your driving experience! From speed to braking, these are all the statistics you need to know about before getting into the driving speed and revving that powerful engine.

Speed: As I mentioned before, the maximum top speed of the X80 Proto is around 121/122 Miles per hour which is a nice balance between speed and control.

Acceleration: The X80 Proto has nearly full bars on the acceleration as it is over three-quarters of the final bar up. An acceleration rating of over 90%. Always a great statistic to have!

Handling: The handling of the X80 Proto makes it up to the final bar. This equates to just a bit over an 80% rating. It is still a brilliant rating, although there may be a few areas you might find it struggles a bit with handling and its traction. Especially so when bringing the car to a full stop on uneven terrain.

Braking: The braking is where the X80 Proto, unfortunately, falls a little bit short. With it just reaching the top of the second bar, it is only around a 35% rating. If you know you may want to quickly bring the car to a stop at points, you may find it a slight struggle at times to brake quickly.

As noted before, due to the handling/traction of the car, braking on uneven terrain could be an issue for the X80 Proto. I have always been able to bring it to a stop easy enough, so you shouldn’t have too many issues with the vehicle, thankfully!

Overall, the statistics of the X80 Proto are excellent and will have you keeping up with the rest of the pack and their new cars. Even if at a slower speed than some. Not potentially the best car for drag racing, but for a leisurely drive or circuit in style, this car can be the choice for you. Make yourself known with the X80 Proto! Get those jazz tunes on and enjoy driving through the city of Los Santos with style.

Advantages and Disadvantages of the X80 Proto

The main advantage of the X80 Proto can be said to be its unique design. If you want a car that will draw attention to yourself in any server you join, this can be a great option.

Another advantage of the X80 Proto is its brilliant acceleration. There is a lot of worth from having acceleration up that high. In terms of a disadvantage, this can be said to be the car’s braking ability. Along with the braking ability, given that there are a lot of other cars that exceed the speed of the X80 Proto nowadays, the speed may not be what you are looking for, which can be said to be another disadvantage of this vehicle.

Test Drive of the X80 Proto

On one of my custom-created races, I decided to showcase the X80 Proto to you while putting it through its paces on a terrain track. The race takes players up Mt Chiliad through what regularly would have been walking and biking paths.

Even offroad, the X80 Proto handles extremely nicely with its fast acceleration — some of the turns nearly had me flying over the side! But I was able to control the car just in time.

In order to give a greater idea of the handling for you, I also performed a few handbrake turns/drifts on the corners of certain parts of the mountain to give a test of how effective it is for that purpose offroad.

The Pegassi Reaper is another car that I have written about. It is another of my favorites. If you are looking for a car that closely matches what the X80 Proto offers, this is one of the vehicles you can happily purchase, knowing you will get excellent performance.

Another vehicle that will be an excellent alternative to the X80 Proto is the Truffade Nero.
