2017 Holden Maloo Special HSV MalooHSV GTS-R Ute
This is a rare beast from the HSV stable. The Holden HSV GTS-R Maloo is an iconic ute designed to stand out and be instantly recognisable.
The supercharged 6.2l V8 block produces 435kW and 740Nm of torque, an output that isn't out of place amongst the top supercars of its time. Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, this is a pure driving machine. The bi-modal air intake and exhaust mufflers point towards the level of performance engineering behind this mode.
Finished in an eye-catching Spitfire Green this Maloo boasts an impressive array of day-to-day luxuries, including:
- Blind spot warning
- Auto headlights
- Dual-zone air conditioning
- Reverse camera
- Multifunction steering wheel
- 8 inch touch-screen display
- Head up display
HSV tuned this model to be at home on the track and the performance technology is truly remarkable. The driver preference dial gives you control of the electronic vehicle systems including the traction control, torque vectoring and launch control. Once up to speed you can rely on 6-piston AP racing brakes developed in NASCAR racing to help slow you down, this brake system has an outstanding strength to weight ratio. The frightening amount of torque is planted through Continental ContiSport Contact 5P tyres, with staggered sizing between the front and rear. To create a truly stunning ride, HSV Performance Suspension uses charged magnetic fluid controlled though the driver mode dial to instantly change the feel of the car.
A car of this age with such low mileage and in pristine condition is very difficult to find and is an opportunity to own an Australian classic that will stand the test of time. As 1 of only 10 GTS-Rs to come to NZ, it is a rare opportunity to own one.
