HSV sezione veicoli speciali ad alte prestazioni . Commodore ultravitaminizzata con propulsore Corvette, sigla GTS-R

To celebrate its 20th anniversary, HSV, Holden’s in-house tuning arm, has rolled out a concept version of its latest E-series model powered by the Corvette ZO6’s LS7 V8 powerplant at this week’s Melbourne Motor Show. Dubbed the ‘HSV W427,’ the four-door muscle sedan is packing a 7.0L V8 engine with a very healthy 500hp (370kW) on tap.

Sarà presentata al Salone di Melbourne...
