Best HSW Vehicles In GTA Online

Summary

• HSW upgrades boost performance, making vehicles faster in GTA 5 and GTA Online.
• Underrated vehicles like the Stirling GT and Turismo Classic shine with HSW upgrades.
• Hakuchou Drag stands out as the fastest means of travel in the game with HSW.

Vehicles in GTA 5 and GTA Online initially had moderate top speeds. The fastest vehicle in the game had a top speed of 134 mph only, which, by the standards of many games, is low. However, in 2022, Rockstar Games will add a new customization option for certain vehicles called the Hao’s Special Works upgrade, or HSW upgrade.

This feature over-extends the upgrade bar of the vehicle and lets players upgrade their vehicle’s performance further, making them faster and quicker. From bikes to cars, this feature has boosted them above the competition, making them a must-have.

Benefactor Stirling GT

HSW Upgrade Cost: $900,000

The Stirling GT is an underrated classic sports car in GTA Online. With big names like Cheetah Classic, Turismo Classic, and Rapid GT Classic, players often overlook this vehicle. The Stirling GT is a great handling vehicle with one of the highest top speeds, thanks to the HSW upgrade. It also has a decent number of customization options.

Players can make their Stirling GT like either an old classic race car or a clean James Bond-type vehicle. It is also one of the best-sounding vehicles, making it very satisfying to drive in free roam.

Grotti Turismo Classic

HSW Upgrade Cost: $897,000

Turismo Classic, ever since its launch, has dominated the classic sports category in GTA Online. However, Rockstar Games thought that was not enough and gave this vehicle an HSW tuning option. The HSW upgrade makes this vehicle untouchable in its category. It has great handling and also quick acceleration.

The Turismo Classic is based on a beloved classic Ferrari, making it very hard to pass. However, it has very limited customization options. Still, it’s a must-have if players love classic vehicles and are very into racing in GTA Online.

Declasse Vigero ZX

HSW Upgrade Cost: $550,000

Rockstar has mastered the art of cloning iconic vehicles into the game without copyright infringement, and Vigero ZX is an example of this. Vigero ZX looks exactly like the Camaro Gen 6 on which it is based. The Vigero ZX also has some great customization options which just further enhance its good looks.

When it comes to performance, the Vigero has a great top speed for a muscle car, and it also unexpectedly handles pretty well. It was previously the fastest land vehicle in the game, with HSW making it the best muscle car to use in the races.

Pfister Astron Custom

HSW Upgrade Cost: $395,000

Not to be confused with the Pfistor Astron, Astron Custom is a separate version in GTA Online. The normal Astron is a subpar SUV, but the Astron Custom with HSW flies on the road. Astron Custom also has a widebody kit, which enhances its handling. This makes it easier to go fast around the corners without fear of flipping off.

With the HSW upgrade, Astron Custom gives its top rival, Pegassi Toros, hard competition on the track. If the track is slightly twistier with a few turns, Astron Custom can easily get the upper hand. So, for players looking out for a better-handling SUV with great top speed, the Astron Custom is a better option.

4

Shitzu Hakuchou Drag

HSW Upgrade Cost: $1,450,000

Hakuchou is the only motorcycle in the game that has an HSW upgrade available. The Hakuchou Drag is a modified version of the regular Hakuchou with an extended wheelbase, making it stand out from other bikes in the games. With the HSW upgrade, it is the fastest vehicle to travel from point A to point B on the map.

This makes Hakucou Drag the best vehicle to complete the regular Time Trials and HSW Time Trials to earn quick cash. The only downside to this vehicle is that players can fall off if they accidentally hit anything, and crashing at this high speed can hurt a lot.

3

Pegassi Weaponized Ignus

HSW Upgrade Cost: $500,000

Weaponized Ignus in GTA Online is a beauty with brawn. Rockstar Games strapped a lethal machine gun to a beautiful supercar, making it hard to pass despite having a steep price tag. In addition, this vehicle has a pre-installed missile lock-on jammer, which is very helpful. Weaponized Ignus with HSW is the fastest supercar in the game.

However, since it is a weaponized vehicle, it is restricted to some races. Still, Weaponized Ignus with HSW is a great buy for free room and other missions. The only thing players need to have is a big bag of money to afford this vehicle and buy the HSW upgrades.

2

Bravado Banshee GTS

HSW Upgrade Cost: $1,900,000

For years, the BF Weevil Custom was the fastest vehicle (without HSW) by top speed in GTA Online. With the Agents Of Sabotage DLC, Rockstar changed this when they introduced the Banhee GTS. Ever since fans saw this vehicle in the announcement poster, they have been eager to get their hands on it.

The Banshee GTS has HSW tuning available to it, making it the fastest land vehicle in the game – it was the first vehicle to go past 170 mph. Since it is a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, it has a subpar launch, but with HSW, it launches decently. Its handling might feel tricky sometimes, but it is easily manageable.

Übermacht Niobe

HSW Upgrade Cost: $1,800,000

The Niobe is one of the best and most realistic-looking vehicles in GTA Online and that, too, with great performance. The Niobe is, overall, the best sports car in the game for both circuit racing and free-roam. It is an all-wheel-drive vehicle which gives it a great launch and acceleration with near-perfect handling. With HSW, its value just skyrockets.

It blows both the Grotti Itali RSX and Itali GTO out of the water and smokes them off on the racetrack. Players who don’t like Hakuchou Drag for time trials can definitely give this vehicle a try. With its over-the-top high speed and satisfying handling, players can easily crush both normal and HSW Time Trials.
