If you want fast cars, our HSW car list for GTA Online shows you which ones are eligible. If you are newer to the game, HSW, also known as Hao’s Special Works, are upgrades to vehicles in the game. This modification is actually a conversion kit that beefs up the vehicle you are trying to upgrade. Upon doing so, players can upgrade Engines, brakes, and even obtain unique Liveries for the cars. The feature arrived with the Expanded & Enhanced editions on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. However, not every vehicle in the game offers this option. So instead of going through the pain of taking specific cars to the shop to find HSW upgrades, I come to help. The list below features all of the cars that can be HSW converted, plus their costs before and after.

What Upgrades Do HSW Cars Get?
Engines and Brakes are just some of the upgrades that HSW cars can receive in GTA Online. They provide better stats than those of the base LS Customs upgrades you can get. So if you are looking to have your car perform at its peak, it’s best to use the HSW conversion on it. Whether it’s to outrun the cops or other players, the costs can be worth it. Overall, these are the upgrades you can expect with HSW:
- Brakes.
- Engine.
- Paint (Chameleon).
- Suspension.
- Transmission.
- Turbo.
Being able to throw on both an HSW transmission and turbo has made some of my cars feel like drivable lightning. The difference between that and the level four of LS Customs tuning is starkly different for sure. Plus, with the options for cars, you can’t really go wrong with doing it. Each upgrade can be good to do. But I mainly focus on the necessities. The brakes so that I can stop and take corners even faster. The Engine for more speed to get away. And the Transmission and Turbo tunes to have a better take off and acceleration. All-in-all, players should definitely look into HSW upgrades if they haven’t already.
Where Can You Do the HSW Upgrade?
Players can head to the LS Car Meet on the east side of Los Santos. More specifically, in the Cypress Flats area of the game. Upon pulling into the meeting spot with your car of choice, go to the customization area. A short cutscene plays of your car arriving at the spot, and then you can begin customizing. At the top is the option to convert the car to HSW standards. However, players must first complete the initial time trial for Hao at his garage, which appears on the map. After that, and buying the LS Car Meet membership, you can get to upgrading your vehicles.
Our HSW car list for GTA Online helps players get an idea of what cars they can upgrade with it. The game doesn’t directly say which are compatible and which are not. So the process of having to check can be a pain. Rather than suffer with driving and checking, I figured to streamline things for convenience. Additionally, with cars being added to the compatibility, you can expect to see the list of them begin to expand.
Sometimes you can luck out with a GTA Online weekly update and find an HSW car on sale. Or even the modifications. There is no going back once you try HSW upgrades, and it’s all for the better. Just be sure to find the right cars you want to drive in the list. Then, proceed to turn them into the ultimate driving machines to blaze through Los Santos with.
