Holden Special Vehicles has built its 85,000th vehicle, an automatic Gen-F2 Clubsport R8 LSA finished in Slipstream.

The car will be sold through HSV’s oldest dealership, Garry and Warren Smith in Oakleigh, Victoria (a stone’s throw from the MOTOR office) but as this story goes live it remains unsold.

HSV first rose to prominence thanks to the wild VL Group Walkinshaw, but the first car produced by the company was actually a VL Group A SS. The first car to be badged and sold as an HSV, however, was the VL SV88.

The real question, however, is what form the 100,000th HSV built will take.
