The Next-Gen console version of Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 5 was released in 2022. Interestingly, this was not just a simple port and introduced several new exclusive features to the game, such as upscaled graphics, HDR support, ray-traced reflections, and HSW Performance Upgrades for vehicles. HSW upgrades enhance a vehicle's base top speed and acceleration.
However, they do not apply to all rides in the game. At the moment, there are a total of 19 HSW cars, with the latest one being the Penaud La Coureuse. Let's look at the ten fastest HSW cars in GTA 5's online mode based on their top speed.
