Η Holden μετά την παρουσίαση του Commodore VFII σειρά πήρε σήμερα από την Holden Special Vehicles (HSV) η γκάμα του νέου “GEN-F2”.
Το αυτοκίνητο βασίζεται στο νέο VFII, με την γκάμα του GEN-F2 να αποτελείται από το ClubSport R8 LSA, το ClubSport R8 Tourer LSA, το Maloo R8 LSA, το Senator Signature, το Grange και το GTS. Και ενώ πρακτικά μιλάμε για εκδόσεις, το εμπρός μέρος τους είναι κοινό και αποτελείται από έναν αρκετά επιθετικό προφυλακτήρα, αεριζόμενο καπό, επανασχεδιασμένες πλαϊνές ποδιές, μεγάλο πίσω διαχύτη και νέου σχεδιασμού ζάντες 20 ιντσών στα Maloo, ClubSport και GTS.
Κάτω από το καπό, το ClubSport R8, ClubSport R8 Tourer, Maloo R8 και Senator Signature έχουν έναν νέο κομπρεσοράτο 6.2-λίτρων LSA V8 κινητήρα απόδοσης 540 ίππων και 671 Nm ροπή. Αλλαγές έχουν γίνει και στο τομέα της ανάρτησης, με την εταιρία να υπόσχεται καλύτερο κράτημα και άνεση για τους επιβάτες.
Από την άλλη, τα ClubSport R8, Maloo R8 και Grange κινούνται με τον γνωστό LS3 6.2-λίτρων V8 κινητήρα απόδοσης 456 ίππων.

HSV LAUNCHES NEW GEN-F2 RANGE
Australia’s leading performance car manufacturer, HSV, today released details of
some major upgrades to its GEN-F range.
To be known as “GEN-F2”, the range revisions include:
? The fitment of a 400kW / 671Nm 6.2 litre Supercharged LSA V8 engine to its
ClubSport R8, ClubSport R8 Tourer, Maloo R8 and Senator Signature models
? Revised suspension on the new LSA-powered models
? Revised front and rear fascias
? New contoured side-skirts
? New 20” alloy wheels on GTS, Maloo and the ClubSport models
? New bonnet vents
? Two new colour options
The addition of the Supercharged LSA engine to the ClubSport R8, Maloo R8 and
Senator Signature models is sure to be well received. HSV first launched this
powertrain in its hero model – GTS, at the introduction of the GEN-F range, and its
extension to the majority of the HSV line-up ensures HSV can confidently lay claim to
having one of, if not the, most powerful performance production car range available
in Australia.
But the revisions aren’t just limited to the LSA engine and the revised suspension
settings. Extensive styling upgrades to the front fascia, rear diffuser and side-skirts,
together with the introduction of new 20” alloy wheels on the Maloo, ClubSport and
GTS models, will ensure the GEN-F2 range is easily identifiable. “Our objective with
the GEN-F2 program was to enhance performance and design in equal measures”, said
HSV’s Managing Director, Tim Jackson. “The changes we’ve made to exterior styling
evolve the current design language and give the GEN-F2 range distinctive street
presence”, he said.
The GEN-F2 range will consist of ClubSport R8 LSA, ClubSport R8 Tourer LSA, Maloo R8
LSA, Senator Signature, Grange and GTS.
The company also confirmed that its 340kW LS3 engine will continue to be available
in its luxury long-wheel-base Grange, and in both Maloo R8 and ClubSport R8, the
latter two models to be available in Q1, 2016. “Given strong dealer feedback, we’ve
taken the opportunity to concentrate limited pre-Christmas production and
availability on the new LSA models through the launch phase”, said Jackson.
“We’ll look to provide further details on the LS3-powered Maloo R8 and ClubSport R8
models early in the new year.”
The GEN-F2 range is the most significant upgrade to the HSV line-up since the launch
of the GEN-F range in June, 2013.
“Our challenge, at HSV, is to continually push the boundaries. Standing still is just not
an option”, said Jackson. “We’re confident that broadening the availability of the
Supercharged LSA engine to the majority of our range, in addition to the styling
enhancements we’ve introduced with GEN-F2, make this the most exciting range
we’ve ever offered”, he said.
The company confirmed that production of the GEN-F2 range will commence early
October, with vehicles due to arrive in HSV showrooms later that month.
