HSV

With the demise of Holden in 2020, HSV has effectively been replaced by General Motors Specialty Vehicles which, initially at least, will focus on right-hand-drive conversions rather than high-performance makeovers. However, after reimagining Holden's line-up last September, we've decided to take things one step further and dream of what HSV might have looked like if the brand had stuck around.

A 2017 HSV GTSR Maloo W1 is set to rewrite the record books. The vehicle is one of only four GTSR Maloo W1 utes ever built by HSV, and is currently being offered by Lloyds Auctioneers – and there are high expectations for the rare machine. At the time of writing, the HSV had a bid of $675,000 with more than three weeks until the final hammer, suggesting a price of $1 million was not out of the question. With the 7.5 per cent auction premium, the current price sits at more than $725,000.

If ever there was a year when you simply want to just mash the throttle on a 1996 HSV GTS-R, and leave nothing but a trail of smoke and rubber as you tear off into the distance, this is it. Now, in true 2020 fashion, you can do exactly that from the comfort of your couch, thanks to an update to the Microsoft Forza Horizon 4 computer game. Three iconic HSV models have just been added to the Xbox game, but there’s a catch.

The company once responsible for Australia’s hottest Commodores, HSV, has cemented itself as a centre of excellence for re-engineered left-hand drive products, and has now added the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pick-up to its range.

The high-tech Chevrolet 1500 pickup truck will arrive in Australia next month, as Holden Special Vehicles (HSV) prepares to take on the strong-selling Ram 1500. HSV today confirmed the Silverado, which is converted to right-hand drive alongside the Chevrolet Camaro muscle car in Clayton, has been certified for Australia and New Zealand.
