Super TestCar reviews - HSV - ClubSport - R8 Tourer LSAHSV modelsOverviewHSV's V8-powered R8 Tourer is accessible pure Aussie muscle16 Oct 2015 THE fate of Holden Special Vehicles (HSV) is still somewhat unclear, but if it is in its twilight months, then the company is sending its range of Australian-built Commodore-based cars out with a serious bang. HSV fans pored over the monstrous supercharged GTS sedan after the VF launched in 2013 and then again when the Maloo ute equivalent surfaced last year, but to celebrate the last Aussie-produced HSVs ahead of Holden’s factory closure in 2017, four more variants have been given a boost – literally.
