Default Spy shots: Holden HSV E-series



Photos have leaked online of the new Holden VE-based HSV E-Series. Images of the high-performance originated on popular Holden chat forum ls1.com.au by member 'Covert.' The car is based heavily on the 2007 VE Commodore, which incidentally, may come to the United States as the next Pontiac Grand Prix. Output of the HSV model is expected somewhere around the 415 horsepower mark. Like the regular VE, the HSV is based on GM's new Zeta platform, which will underpin the 2009 Camaro, among other vehicles.

Looks like it should be fun.......

BMW needs to step it up on this next M3 in terms of performance because less expensive cars are becoming very powerful.

You know whats funny about those photo's is that a government department let the images out a week earlier than its launch date by accident.

Hehehe Opps

I have seen the new SS this morning. Didnt think that highly of its looks in pictures I saw, but it actually looks good in the flesh.

Interesting to see what the HSV variants look like in real life.

Also for the first time you will be able to order 20" factory wheels I heard.

Looks pretty good, but I'm more of a Ford Falcon man.
