Holden Special Vehicles has announced a special edition as part of its ongoing 25th anniversary celebrations.
Based on the GTS model, which sports the company’s 325kW 6.2-litre V8, the ‘HSV 25th Anniversary GTS’ features a number of styling, performance and technology upgrades.
Included are a set of new, light-weight, 20” forged alloy wheels finished in satin graphite. This forged wheel delivers a weight saving in excess of 22kg over the standard GTS wheel set, reducing unsprung weight by an 8%. Vector hood scoops and side vents, also finished in distinctive satin graphite, compliment the look.
From a performance perspective, HSV has added six-piston brakes which, with a 50% increase in pad area, while the firm’s side blind zone alert complements safety.
Limited to just 125 units (in Australia), with each build plate individually numbered, the car is available in four colours and is identified by unique seat embroidery, exterior badging, sill plates, EDI ‘start-up’ screen and an internal ID plate.
“Twenty-five years is an important milestone in the HSV journey. We believe this 25th anniversary GTS truly embodies all that HSV stands for – race-bred performance, design and technology at a price that represents outstanding value”, says HSV’s general manager – sales, Darren Bowler.
While the extras total up to $7500, the GTS will retail at $84,990, $2000 more than the regular GTS. An automatic is a $2000 option.
The car will be shown at the Australian International Motor Show in Sydney on October 18, with stock available in dealerships from that day.
