HSW cars in GTA Online are those vehicles which can utilize a feature exclusive to the next-gen version of the game. Hao's Special Works essentially makes these automobiles significantly faster.
For instance, the original Vigero ZX has a top speed of 125 mph, whereas the HSW version goes up to a staggering 158 mph. Many other cars follow a similar principle where Hao can make them go approximately 20 to 30 mph faster than before.
Let's quickly learn about all HSW cars in GTA Online as of August 2025. It is worth noting that this article will primarily focus on top speeds and lap times.
Note: The Hakucho Drag bike won't be listed here since it's not a car. The data used here has been compiled by popular YouTuber Broughy1322.

- Bravado Banshee GTS is #1 for speed, and its also top 5 in terms of lap time.
- The Declasse Tampa GT is #3 for speed, but the slowest when it comes to lap times.
- Similarly, the Weaponized Ignus is #1 for lap time but not for top speed.
- The Karin S95 is the most consistent for being #7 in top speed and #8 in lap time.
