HSV is determined that its locally-made range isn’t going to go out without a proper bang.

Over and above its LSA models (which also get an upgrade for the last fling) there’s a new range that recalls a famous HSV tag, the GTSR line-up.

Based on the 430kW GTS, the reborn GTSR family includes a sedan and a Maloo ute as well as the headlining W1 which deserves a separate discussion on its own.

Well, over and above the GTS, the GTSR gains an extra five kiloWatts thanks to a new air-filter assembly that bumps grunt to 435kW while torque stays the same 740Nm.

But the fronts now have a different offset; a move that’s been made possible by a wider front guard. That’s also forced a new front apron so HSV gave the whole body kit a once over, winding up with bonnet vents, fender vents, a new rear fascia, rear spoiler and a diffuser.
