2017 HSV Clubsport R8 Tourer LSA 30th Anniversary

The box carrier you’re looking at is not just the baddest wagon on the block. Nor is it simply the fastest wagon HSV, Australia’s leading performance car manufacturer ever produced. It’s the end of an era. A last hurrah for Australian muscle built right here on home soil and boy, did they make sure to go out with a big banger.

Built to celebrate the 30-year milestone of HSV’s first fast Commodore, the 1988 SS Group A, under the bonnet of the limited edition HSV Clubsport R8 LSA Tourer 30th Anniversary sits a supercharged 6.2-litre LSA V8 that pumps out an earth quaking 410 kW and 671 Nm of torque. Essentially, a range topping ZL1 Camaro in disguise and capable of hurtling the near 2 tonne tank from 0-100km/h in just 4.6 seconds.

Practical, sure, but brutal when you want it to be. Space for five? Check. 895 Litre boot big enough for box carrying? Check. 3 Drive modes depending on your disposition? Check. But owning the HSV Clubsport R8 LSA Tourer is more than just about ticking boxes and the 30th Anniversary edition marks the occasion by topping-off its performance upgrades with exclusive anniversary content that set it apart, including:

- “30 Years” floor mats

- “30 Years” fender badges

- “30 Years” rear window sticker

- LSA and chequered flag logos

- Unique limited build number

Ordered in the best colour available, Slipstream Blue over Onyx leather trim and delivered new by Suttons City Holden, Sydney in March of 2018, offered here is car number 74.

In out and out mint condition throughout, this 30th Anniversary edition has been cherished by just one owner, covered a mere 5,100 km and kept in a temperature controlled third party storage facility alongside a fine collection of more classic Australian muscle.

Options fitted to the car noted on its certificate of authenticity are:

- J56 Brake System PWR, Frt & Rr Disc, Antilock Frt & Rr Whl, Heavy

- S20M Wide 20" Forged Wheels With Fender Extensions

- SBBP 6 Piston Brake Package

- SEDI Enhanced Driver Interface

- Genuine HSV Rubber mats to protect carpet mats

The last rear-wheel-drive and Australian built Holden Special Vehicle. The penultimate fast wagon. A piece of our history that sits in a class of its own. Rarity and pedigree? Tick. Performance? Off the charts. 

This could be the last time you’ll ever have a chance to secure one with demo kilometres, especially at this value.

An Australian icon and one not to miss.
