Holden Special Vehicles to celebrate 20 years with limited edition model
Australia’s high performance car manufacturer, Holden Special Vehicles, has launched a limited edition model to help celebrate 20 years of its most successful and enduring nameplate – the ClubSport.
The ClubSport brand first appeared as a permanent fixture within the HSV range back in June of 1990 as a VN HSV ClubSport. Featuring a 5.0 litre engine boasting 180kW and 400Nm only 410 VN series ClubSports were built. The model has evolved today to become the highest selling vehicle in the HSV line-up.
General Manager of Marketing and Communications, Tim Jackson, said this milestone was worthy of celebration for the company.
”If we step back 20 years to 1990, this really was a watershed year for the HSV brand. Not only did we introduce our first ClubSport model in June but 1990 also represented our first Bathurst victory with the Holden Racing Team, who are also celebrating 20 years of success this year.
”The ClubSport has such great history and meaning within our business, and it has always been our purists vehicle - bringing track focused performance and handling to a road vehicle,” Tim Jackson said.
For that reason HSV has taken a ‘back-to-basics’ approach with the 20 years of Clubsport model producing a feature packed high performance vehicle for the true HSV collector.
The 20 Years of ClubSport model will receive as standard HSV’s performance suspension, 20 inch Pentagon wheels in Millennium silver and leather seats for no additional cost.

Holden Special Vehicles sales soar 67% in Q1
Australia’s performance car leader Holden Special Vehicles today announced an exceptional start to 2010, reporting an increase in retail sales of 67% on the 1st quarter compared with 2009.
General Manager of Sales Darren Bowler said, ‘This is a great start to the year for HSV and our dealer network, and while the result is partly influenced by our launch strategies, we do anticipate a continuation of product demand and we are in fact forecasting a 20% year on year sales increase’.
The sales result has been punctuated by demand for the new GTS model, and what is anticipated to be a best ever year for HSV’s performance ute nameplate, Maloo.
General Manager of Marketing Tim Jackson said, ‘At the launch of E2 the strategy was to lift GTS back to its hero status, and the exciting thing is we have seen demand outstrip supply. The differentiation we have given GTS has really struck a chord with our customer base.’
Darren Bowler added, ‘While GTS has been a real stand out for us, the introduction of Maloo GXP into the range has us expecting a record year for the Maloo nameplate, exceeding 2009 by over 40%’.
ClubSport R8 remains the volume seller within the HSV range representing 35% of sales and recorded a 70% increase in Q1 sales (2009 vs 2010).
Tim Jackson commented, ‘These three nameplates really represent the core of our business and the core of our brand. It is great to see the demand that exists for our product, and the opportunities that continued innovation provide us as we move into the future’.
