2006: E Series

The E Series journey began with a blank canvas and a mission statement to redefine every aspect of world-class performance car design.

The boundaries of product investment, testing and development were taken to unprecedented new levels. So the quest began to create the most powerful, technologically advanced and dynamic range of vehicles to date.

The result was a total of 301 end-to-end exclusive HSV modifications, including 307kW of power output, 550Nm of torque, a sports-tuned Electronic Stability Control system and the revolutionary Magnetic Ride Control suspension technology.

2003: VY2

Prominent with the launch in September 2003 of the Y Series 2 was the ClubSport R8 with its distinctive performance and sporty style.

1995: VS

In April 1995, HSV launched the new generation VS range, which at the time, represented the pinnacle of Australian sports motoring.

From the powerful Manta to the sophistication of the Grange, there was a combination of style and performance that left little to the imagination. The VS series saw the introduction of an Integrated Security System (ISS) incorporating a microprocessor-controlled immobiliser. Models within the range included the HSV VS ClubSport, HSV VS Senator and HSV SV Manta.

1993: VR

With the release of the VR Series, and after considerable design and tooling investment, HSV confirmed its place as Australia’s leading niche manufacturer of world-class performance vehicles.

1989: VN

The HSV VN Series was launched in August 1988 with a completely new body design and engines.
