Best Uses for the Principe Diabolus
Speed rating of 85/100 makes it competitive in races.
Fast enough with good handling to beat weekly Time Trials.
Affordable at $169,000 with forgiving handling.
Enjoyable to drive around Los Santos in freemode.
For Grinders
Decent budget option for grinders. The Diabolus won't break the bank at $169,000 and performs well enough for missions, though you'll want to upgrade to something faster as your budget grows. It's an excellent placeholder vehicle while saving for Imani Tech or weaponized alternatives.
For Beginners
Great starter choice! The Diabolus offers solid performance at an affordable $169,000. New players can rely on this vehicle while learning the game's driving mechanics and building their bank account. Its forgiving handling characteristics make it ideal for players still mastering GTA Online's physics.
For Racers
Viable for racing but not optimal. Currently ranked #217 out of 475 vehicles by top speed, the Diabolus can win races in the right hands, but elite-tier alternatives will have a slight edge on most tracks. It excels on technical circuits where handling matters more than raw top speed, so track selection plays to its strengths.
For PvP Players
The Diabolus has limited direct PvP applications. For dedicated freemode combat, invest in weaponized vehicles or Imani Tech upgrades instead.
For Collectors
A collector's dream. The Diabolus with Benny's customization options creates a truly unique vehicle that stands out at every car meet. The lowrider culture and extensive modification catalog—including hydraulics, custom interiors, and exclusive liveries—make this one of the most visually distinctive vehicles you can own in GTA Online.
Bottom line: If budget allows only one purchase in this class, choose between the Principe Diabolus and the Principe Diabolus Custom ($169,000) based on whether you prioritize raw speed or versatility.
How Fast Is the Principe Diabolus?
- Top Speed:114.5 mph (184.3 km/h)
- Lap Time:Not yet confirmed (Broughy1322 testing)
- Class Rank:#217 in Motorcycles
Handling Tips
- The Diabolus rewards trail braking—gradually release the brake as you turn in to unlock extra rotation without losing stability. This technique suits its balanced handling profile.
- In the Diabolus, the gap between a clean lap and a messy one can be 2-3 seconds. Smooth throttle application through corners makes the difference in competitive lobbies.
- On the Diabolus, lean into corners early and avoid braking mid-turn to prevent lowsides. Smooth throttle on exit is critical since bikes lose traction faster than four-wheeled vehicles.
- Master weight transfer in the Diabolus: braking loads the front for sharper turn-in, while accelerating plants the rear for better traction out of corners.
When NOT to Buy
- Budget for customization! The base Diabolus price is just the start - full Benny's treatment can exceed $1,000,000 additional.
