The Gen-F GTS represents the crowning jewel of HSV’s production run, and they’ve certainly saved the best for last. We’re excited to offer you a pristine 2016 HSV GTS, boasting a remarkably low odometer reading of under 16,000 kilometres.
The HSV GTS is the undisputed king of the HSV lineup, after 30 years of producing some of Australia’s most ferocious muscle cars they closed the curtain after producing the best one yet! Featuring a fierce 6.2L Supercharged LSA engine. This powerhouse has been tastefully upgraded with larger injectors and fuel pumps, an upgraded supercharger pulley, a blower spacer, an OTR aftermarket intake, and a full exhaust system including performance headers. These modifications, while subtle, propel this VF GTS to a reliable and instant 580 wheel horsepower which delivers an exhilarating driving experience as soon as you put your foot down! Nothing quite beats the experience of the Torque being generated out of a screaming supercharger as it pins you back into your seat bolsters.
Equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, this car ensures that driving enthusiasts get the most engaging experience from the moment they enter the driver’s seat. Inside, the GTS maintains its showroom-quality appeal with a perfect blend of black leather and Alcantara, combining sophistication and comfort in a way that befits a high-end sports saloon.
The car has been meticulously maintained, with the previous owner having driven it only 15,000 kilometres over 8 years, and only in perfect weather conditions. It’s so well-preserved that some might say it’s barely run in. The vehicle has been further enhanced with adjustable coilovers and attention grabbing 22” HSV Style Rapier rims, giving it an aggressive stance. This GTS isn’t just a car, it’s that multipurpose master craft. It can serve as your daily driver, a weekend warrior, a track toy, or a summer cruiser. It offers a perfect blend of power, comfort, and reliability.
If you can see yourself behind the wheel of this magnificent machine, it’s time to start gathering those entries. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of HSV history—this GTS could be yours!
