The Übermacht Niobe, which is based on the BMW i8, is a sports car added as part of the Bottom Dollar Bounties update. With complete base upgrades, it has a top speed of 127.25 mph (204.79 km/h). With the HSW performance upgrade, this is boosted to 159.60 mph (256.69 km/h).

Shitzu Hakuchou Drag
The Shitzu Hakuchou Drag, a RWD motorcycle weighing 270 kg, is inspired by the real-life Suzuki Hayabusa. Without the HSW upgrades, the Shitzu Hakuchou Drag's top speed isn't that impressive and can only reach the top speed of 126.50 mph (203.58 km/h). However, with the HSW performance upgrade, it achieves a top speed of 157.5 mph (253.5 km/h) and secures the second spot in its class among 58 motorcycles in GTA Online, just under the Western Reever.
The base variant of the Shitzu Hakuchou Drag is available at Legendary Motorsport for $976,000, with HSW upgrades priced at $1,450,000.
Declasse Vigero ZX Convertible
The Vigero ZX Convertible is a 2-seater RWD muscle car with a curb weight of approximately 1,890 kg, and it takes after the real-life Chevrolet Camaro Gen VI as the foundation for its designs, especially using wheels that mimic the 1LE performance package edition.
Its fully upgraded base variant can reach a top speed of 125.00 mph (201.17 km/h), but when fitted with an HSW performance upgrade, it becomes 158.00 mph (254.28 km/h), almost equaling the top speed of the Shitzu Hakuchou Drag, a noteworthy achievement considering bikes usually outpace most sports cars. This places the Vigero ZX at the top of its class among 82 other muscle cars.
The base model can be bought for $2,295,000 at Southern San Andreas Super Autos, and adding the HSW upgrade costs an additional $522,500.
Declasse Vigero ZX
Much like the convertible, The Vigero ZX is a 2-seater RWD weighing around 1,760 kg. It's heavily influenced by the 2017-2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, drawing wheel design cues from the 2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE. The base upgraded variant of the car can reach a top speed of 125.00 mph (201.17 km/h), but with the HSW upgrades, the ZX attains a top speed of 158.00 mph (253.5 km/h).
The base version of the Vigero ZX can be bought from Southern San Andreas Super Autos for $1,947,000. You can add HSW upgrades for $550,000.
Pegassi Weaponized Ignus
The second last car on the list is the Pegassi Weaponized Ignus. Pegassi Weaponized Ignus is a custom armed 2-seater AWD Super car, weighing approximately 1,650 kg. Ignus is primarily based on the real-life Lamborghini Sián FKP 37. This is evident from the dark green color of the Weaponized Ignus, which the real-life Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 shares.
The Pegassi Weaponized Ignus reaches a top speed of 145.00 mph (233.35 km/h), placing it third among 59 Super cars. Unfortunately, although it's listed, we don't recommended that newer players buy this vehicle due to its high cost without offering the fastest speed.
Even the base variant, when fully upgraded, can only attain a top speed of 125.00 mph (201.17 km/h), which is considerably lower than many others on the list that costs way less than the Pegassi Weaponized Ignus.
The stock Pegassi Weaponized Ignus is priced at $4,500,000 from Warstock Cache & Carry. Adding the HSW upgrades will cost an extra $500,000, making the total $5,000,000. While it's a fast vehicle, its cost might not justify the speed compared to others on the list.
While not high on the list, you'd be surprised to see how fast the lap times are for the Pegassi Weaponized Ignus.
Grotti Turismo Classic
The Grotti Turismo Classic, a 2-seater RWD Sports Classic, hits a top speed of 151.50 mph (243.82 km/h), securing the top position among 46 cars in its class. The fully upgraded base variant of the car can attain a top speed of 121.00 mph (194.73 km/h).
The Turismo Classic is heavily inspired by the iconic 1980s Ferrari models, notably the Ferrari F40. The Turismo Classic costs $705,000 from Legendary Motorsport and its HSW variant upgrade is $897,000.
Fastest HSW Cars List (Lap Times)
A car's ability to reach top speed in a straight line might differ from its performance during races, which relies on handling too, and for which lap times are a better measure. In this list, we've ranked the HSW cars based on their fastest lap times.
The cars are ranked from the fastest lap time to the slowest.
Despite being ranked highest for top speed, the Bravo Banshee GTS is placed sixth for lap time, while the Pegassi Weaponized Ignus is second last in top speed, it is second in lap time. This could justify the higher cost of the Pegassi Weaponized Ignus, as it outperforms other cars in practicality.
It is also interesting to see that the Coil Cyclone II takes an impressive third place on the lap time list, maintaining its high rank from our non-HSW vehicle ranking.
Best HSW Vehicle Overall
Although it's at the bottom of the fastest vehicle list, the Pegassi Weaponized Ignus is the best HSW car for a couple of reasons.
The Pegassi Weaponized Ignus has an excellent car lap time, only behind the Shitzu Hakuchou Drag bike, making it exceptionally agile in turns and the fastest car, according to lap time. While the Grotti Itali GTO Stinger TT excels in straight-line speed, its handling may pose challenges in comparison.
The Weaponized Ignus also has the Imani Tech. It, together with the Itali GTO Stinger TT, are the only HSW upgraded vehicles that have the Imani Tech, which makes them extremely valuable. Imani Tech is a rare upgrade exclusive to certain vehicles from The Contract update.
The Imani Tech provides unique upgrades, offering three useful options: armor plating for added defense, protection from homing missiles, and remote vehicle control. These upgrades can be obtained from the Agency's hacker.
The added protection serves as resistance against homing missiles, but does not guarantee immunity. While it offers defense, it won't stop your vehicle from being destroyed, although it can withstand more damage before being disabled.
The Weaponized Ignus stands out as the top vehicle on the list because it's the sole hypercar with both Imani Tech and HSW upgrades. It offers speed, handling, and exceptional protection, making it the best HSW vehicle. And of course, it looks great!
