With aggressive styling, a precise electronic stability control system and a more advanced, powerful engine, the HSV ClubSport R8 is more than just a world-class contender; it’s a V8 champion!

Aerodynamic in nature, aggressive by design. The unique E Series side venting, with signature ‘E’ shape, the HSV ClubSport R8 cuts a menacing figure.and represents the shape of things to come.

Ominously shaped 45mm projector fog lamps and 90mm driving lamps project a brighter, more powerful beam than traditional reflective globes. One look at the bold new rear tail light design will convince you that seeing really is believing. The new tail light design provides maximum visibility in all driving conditions and also cleverly incorporate LED turn indicators.

New R8 19" deep dish alloy wheels in Billet Silver. The wider rear wheels enhance imposing shape and maximise grip. Reverse mounted technology sets new standard in style and road presence. Exclusively designed and developed Bridgestone tyres provide new levels of comfort and grip.

The all new LS3 6.2 litre Generation 4 V8 engine is a powerhouse of world-class HSV technology. Offering a spirited mix of performance and 307kW of power, the new LS2 has been re-calibrated via a new intelligent engine control system.

Designed to compliment the power of the LS2 V8, the all new HSV 6-speed automatic transmission features tip-tronic style gear selecting and adaptive shift control for seamless up-and-down shifting, plus a Sports mode for an even more aggressive performance.

There’s a feeling of total confidence knowing that the biggest, most advanced braking system HSV has ever engineered, can at the slightest touch perfectly control such a powerful beast.

Front brakes boast 365mm x 32mm ventilated and grooved discs and wider rear tyres combine with a bigger rear brake. New brake pad material and rotor designs have been engineered to evenly distribute force to each brake, providing a safe, responsive feel.

You can rest assured every HSV ClubSport is equipped with advanced multi-layered driver defence systems. Intelligent active and passive safety features combine, to not only help prevent collisions, but to reduce injury should an accident occur.

Active safety systems monitor the vehicle’s speed, lateral acceleration, brake force and steering wheel angle an incredible 30 times per second and passive safety features include an advanced Adaptive Occupant Restraint System that detects the strength and direction of a collision and activates driver and front passenger airbags.

Side impact driver and passenger airbags and side full-length curtain airbags provide excellent protection in side-on collisions.

As with every Holden Special Vehicle, the interior refinement matches the exterior. Features include Leather seats and a 220 Watt, 10 speaker, Bose premium audio sound system and 6 disc in-dash CD player with MP3 compatibility and auxilary input jack.
