2017 HSV GTS-R W1

Powered by a supercharged 6.2 litre V8, the W1 produces 474kw (636 bhp) and 815nm (601lb-ft) of torque. Fitted with a close-ratio 6-speed gearbox, the vehicle will hit 100km/h in first gear. 4.2 seconds is the official 0-100km/h time. Features found on the W1 are those you would expect only to see on a V8 Supercar, such as a dry-sump, 410mm front brakes with 6-piston calipers and factory-fitted Pirelli P-Zero tyres. The top speed is electronically limited to 250kph, but according to some sources the ‘unlimited’ top speed is an astonishing 336kmh. Just 300 of these incredibly desirable cars were built by Holden Special Vehicles, with 285 sold new in Australia and 15 in New Zealand. In the eyes of many enthusiasts, the W1 represents the pinnacle of the Australian motoring industry and remains highly collectable, with low mileage examples fetching notable sums at auction.
