Two new models in HSV line-up
According to HSV Managing Director Phil Harding the HSV ClubSport GXP and HSV Maloo GXP represent an outstanding opportunity for HSV to complement its existing line-up with a limited edition entry level vehicle.
"We receive lots of enquiries about introducing a model to sit as an entry level to our brand and the GXP program provides us this opportunity."
"I have always said that in order for a car to wear the HSV badge it needs to satisfy three criteria - Performance, Handling and Design." "Clearly these cars tick all three boxes."

_ HSV 6.2 litre LS3 V8 engine delivering 317kW and 550Nm
_ Suspension - ClubSport GXP uses the unique GXP suspension tune, - Maloo GXP has a unique HSV suspension tune
