The HSV Maloo is a performance coupé utility that Holden Special Vehicles, Holden's designated performance division, built from 1990 until production ended in 2017. It began in October 1990 as the VG Series Maloo, based on the Holden Utility and fitted with a 5.0-litre Holden V8 of 180 kilowatts, and 135 of those first cars were made. Later series moved to the 5.7-litre LS1, then the 6.0-litre LS2 and the 6.2-litre LS3, and the last cars carried a supercharged 6.2-litre LSA. In 2006 a Z Series Maloo R8 driven by Mark Skaife set the Guinness World Record for the fastest production utility or pickup truck, averaging 271.44 kilometres per hour. The name comes from an Aboriginal word for storm or thunder. From 2011 the model was also exported to the United Kingdom as the Vauxhall Maloo.
