HSV Senator

The HSV Senator was a performance-luxury sedan produced by Holden Special Vehicles from 1992 to 2017, based on the Holden Berlina and Holden Calais. When it appeared in 1992 it was the most luxurious model in the HSV range and the fourth iteration of the SV series that began in 1988. The VP Series gained independent rear suspension, anti-lock brakes and a body kit; later series brought the Signature models, the LS1 V8 in the VTII Series of 1999, and the Magnetic Ride Control of the E Series in 2006. Limited runs included the SV300 of 2001 and the Senator SV08 marking the twentieth anniversary of the SV88. Exports to Singapore began in 2010, and the Senator was discontinued in 2017.
