Holden Special Vehicles has launched the new ClubSport R8 Tourer (sports wagon) into the Australian market, with all the performance characteristics of the HSV brand in a "versatile and luxurious new package".
The Tourer is powered by the new 6.0-litre V8 LS3 engine producing 317kW of power and 550Nm of torque, and according to HSV's General Manager of Sales, Darren Bowler, the Tourer is a natural extension to the current HSV range of luxury and performance vehicles.
"We were very impressed with the Sportswagon product our colleagues at Holden have released and believe the ClubSport R8 Tourer takes the concept to the next level." said Darren Bowler.
The Tourer also has impressive handling and ride characteristics courtesy of extensive chassis development and tuning coupled with the all new LS3 engine, and HSV's enormous brakes and safety package to make the R8 tourer appeal to a range of customers with HSV's Chief Engineer Joel Stoddart admitting this is one of HSV's best products to date.
HSV will build around 120 ClubSport R8 Tourers for the Australian market in 2008.
The Tourer is available from dealers nationally with prices starting at $65,990 for the manual ClubSport R8 Tourer - an increase of just $1000 more than the equivalent ClubSport R8 sedan.
The automatic transmission is an additional $2330. The options list include full leather seats for $2490 and a 20-inch wheel and tyre package for $2500.
