The flagship W427 will be priced from $150,000 plus on road costs (and up to $156,000 should the new Luxury Car Tax regime go through) earning it the trifecta of most powerful, most expensive and fastest Australian built car. Only 427 vehicles being built to order at the Clayton production facility.

Each Australian and New Zealand HSV Dealer (64 in total) will be allocated one W427, as long as they have a firm retail order. Remaining W427s will be allocated to dealers based on 2007 sales figures.

The Holden Special Vehicles W427 will go on sale in August.

HSV Tourer


Holden Special Vehicles has announced a new addition to the luxury and performance garage with confirmation that a HSV 'Tourer' or station-wagon, will be launched later this year.

The HSV Tourer will be on sale from October, with specifications similar to the ClubSport R8 which means it will sport the new US-sourced 6.2-litre V8 - codenamed LS3 - developing 317 kW of power.

Price and final specifications will be confirmed closer to start of sale but price rises of between 1.3 and 2.8 per cent across the HSV range has also been announced. $61,550 will get you entry into the HSV range with the Maloo R8 while the flagship HSV Grange is the most expensive at $84,690.

HSV has only released one image of the upcoming tourer and sadly, the rear design remains a mystery - for now. More will be unveiled in due course and so remember to check back on ZCars for the latest updates.
