GTA 5 Enhanced: How to claim the free Karin S95 sports car

One of the major features of the new Enhanced version is the addition of GTA 5 HSW cars. The HSW (Hao’s Special Works) is a vehicle tuning and customization shop, that allows you to significantly boost the performance of select rides, one of which is the Karin S95, a two-seater sports car that can be acquired for free.

Here’s how to get the free Karin S95 in GTA 5 Enhanced’s multiplayer:

Open the map.
Look for an H icon for Hao.
Set the waypoint.
Reach the destination.
Enter the yellow corona.

This will trigger a small cutscene, after which you must complete a time trial event in an HSW vehicle. Doing so will earn you the Karin S95 for free. Rockstar recently released a GTA 5 Enhanced update that fixed a bug in which some players were unable to acquire it at no cost.

Those who haven’t upgraded to the Enhanced version can still do so and claim the free car by following the aforementioned steps. However, one may wonder if it is really worth getting in 2025. Let’s take a quick look at the vehicle to help you decide.
