HSV

Holden Special Vehicles (HSV) was established in 1987 as the performance vehicle partner between Holden and Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) to create high-performance, limited-run versions of Holden models. HSV built a reputation for V8-powered, performance-oriented derivatives such as the Commodore-based GTS and Clubsport models, with engineering and motorsport pedigree drawn from TWR and the Walkinshaw organisation. After Holden ceased local manufacturing and the GM-Holden relationship changed in the 2010s, the Walkinshaw Group retained HSV’s performance and aftermarket expertise and has continued to trade under the HSV name in various forms.
