What you need to use HSW
Hao’s Special Works is a conversion and upgrade service inside the LS Car Meet in Cypress Flats, Los Santos. Eligibility depends on the specific vehicle variant: ordinary upgrades do not make an incompatible vehicle HSW-compatible. You need an eligible vehicle, a game edition that supports HSW and access to Hao’s shop.

Unlock Hao’s shop
Xbox Wire’s player guidance says to take Hao’s phone call and complete a time trial using a high-performing HSW-modified vehicle. Beating the par time unlocks the shop, where eligible vehicles can receive HSW upgrades and further modifications. See Xbox Wire’s HSW unlock guidance.
Check your game edition
HSW availability is tied to supported editions, not simply to owning GTA Online. Rockstar’s 2026 notes specifically identify the Grotti Veleno GT’s HSW upgrade for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and GTAV Enhanced on PC. Earlier release notes named PS5 and Xbox Series X|S for the Bravado Banshee GTS and Vapid Firebolt ASP. Those older platform labels describe the releases at the time; they are not a complete current compatibility matrix. Rockstar has also described PC Enhanced as bringing HSW features previously available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, so do not treat PC Enhanced and PC Legacy as interchangeable.

Choose a vehicle based on the job you want it to do, rather than treating one speed figure as a universal recommendation. GTADB’s HSW performance list separates top speed from lap time: lap time also reflects acceleration, braking, cornering and the test circuit. Class, handling, cost and availability can matter as much as straight-line speed.
Rank #3
- Sleek 7-in-1 USB-C Hub: Features an HDMI port, two USB-A 3.0 ports, and a USB-C data port, each providing 5Gbps transfer speeds. It also includes a USB-C PD input port for charging up to 100W and dual SD and TF card slots, all in a compact design.
- Flawless 4K@60Hz Video with HDMI: Delivers exceptional clarity and smoothness with its 4K@60Hz HDMI port, making it ideal for high-definition presentations and entertainment. (Note: Only the HDMI port supports video projection; the USB-C port is for data transfer only.)
- Double Up on Efficiency: The two USB-A 3.0 ports and a USB-C port support a fast 5Gbps data rate, significantly boosting your transfer speeds and improving productivity.
- Fast and Reliable 85W Charging: Offers high-capacity, speedy charging for laptops up to 85W, so you spend less time tethered to an outlet and more time being productive.
- What You Get: Anker USB-C Hub (7-in-1), welcome guide, 18-month warranty, and our friendly customer service.
- For top speed: GTADB lists the Bravado Banshee GTS at 172.5 mph, its highest HSW top-speed figure in the 2026 database. This is a database figure, not a Rockstar-published statistic.
- For racing: Compare lap times and class, and consider the circuit and the car’s handling. A top-speed lead alone does not establish the best choice for every race.
- For a purchase decision: Weigh the vehicle’s purchase and conversion cost against its use, and confirm it is available on your platform and edition.
GTADB records the Pegassi Horus as having an unverified HSW top-speed figure. That missing or unverified value is not zero and does not establish a position in the speed ranking. See GTADB’s HSW roster and performance list for its current entries.
