HSV ClubSport

The HSV ClubSport is a performance full-size sedan built by Holden Special Vehicles, the performance vehicle division of Holden, from 1990 to 2017. It was introduced with the VN series in June 1990 around a Holden V8 rated at 180 kilowatts, and it was renewed series by series through the VP, VR, VS, VT, VX, Y, Z, E and Gen-F generations, with a wagon offered in the VR series and later in the E-Series. Power climbed to 250 kilowatts with the 5.7-litre LS1 of the VT Series II, passed 300 kilowatts with the LS2 and LS3 of the E-Series, and reached 400 kilowatts in the supercharged LSA of the 2016 ClubSport R8 LSA. The E Series 3 of 2011 added a bi-fuel option running on LPG and petrol. The car was sold in New Zealand without rebranding, and export versions were badged Vauxhall VXR8 for the United Kingdom and CSV CR8 for the Middle East. The ClubSport was discontinued in 2017.
