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.

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.
