2009 HSV W427

The main types of cars australia produces are an embarrassment. coming from an aussie...

Good car

How could you call this a super car. 290km has not been proven. What is proven that a BMW Alpina b10 that is 20 years older is faster with at 300km/hr and has a 6 cylinder engine with a capacity half of the 427. Another similar car of the same vintage was the GM Opel Lotus Omega which was slightly faster than the BMW and once again used an inline six cylinder 3.5 litre engine

Another great Australian V8 story I would say

i own 1 and honestly it is a trip worth taking, you have no idea of the power and handling, brakes are absolutely amazing, i drive a VE clubsport every day and there is honestly no comparison

Australia is a big counbtry in land mass only. just over 20 million population. The government ensures the Holden/Ford monopoly with tarrifs etc. The pricing is on par with what you'd get from the Germans in Aussie

This car was listed under VW

The power is 375kw/503HP/510PS
0-100 is 4.7 s
Top speed is limited to 250km/h

why so little car companys for such a big country?

The Elfin MS8 streemliner 50th does 0-100 in 3 seconds dead and its from aus

wow i cant belive australia finnally has a sports sedan that can compete with the german sports sedans in thev world hsv w427 is amazing this hsv w427 rivals the mighty bmw m3 and beat it round the top geaer australia track

Yes it may be a good car, but for the money you pay for it, its better value to get a standard VE GTS or Clubsport
if i could i would get a VE Maloo 317 instead of any other hsv

FOR such a big country they only hav a few manufacturers, FPV,Holden,HSV,Elfin, and the sheer price of this 427 is insane, i mean $155,000?? thats hugeee, i woulda guessed about $80,590 at max.
