HSV CLUBSPORT Used Car Review

Holden Special Vehicles, the company behind go-faster Commodores, introduced the Clubsport badge in 1990 - representing the entry point to the HSV range. Across the years, it has been available in sedan and wagon (Tourer) forms and always powered by a V8 that continually grew in size and power before the final 6.2-litre (LS3) version. In its final years, an LSA version featured the 400kW supercharged V8 from the flagship GTS model, albeit in detuned form. Sales of the HSV Clubsport ended after Holden ceased local production of the Commodore in late 2017.

  • While both the HSV Clubsport and GTS are available as sedans, the GTS or Grand Touring Sedan is the higher specification model in the Holden Special Vehicles (HSV) range. Only the Clubsport model variant offers a wagon version.
  • Both the wagons and sedans in the HSV Clubsport range have a braked towing capacity of 1,600 kg. This should be easy for a 6.2-litre supercharged engine sending 400kW of power to the rear wheels plus 617Nm of torque.
  • The top speed of the 2015 HSV ClubSport R8 25th Anniversary Edition is estimated to be 249 km/h with a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time of just 5.5 seconds, similar to the performance of the Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo.
  • A serious performance vehicle, a 2017 HSV Clubsport R8 LSA starts from $88.990 on Gumtree, while and a 2010 HSV Clubsport R8 starts from $31,990. At the lower end of the price spectrum a Holden Commodore SS range is well worth a look.

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR: HSV CLUBSPORT (GEN-F 2013-2017)

The last of the Australian-made HSVs were mechanically tough vehicles with incredible levels of performance. And that last bit is your clue on what to watch out for.

Essentially, these cars were made to be driven hard and bought by owners who were planning to do just that. So watch for badly repaired crash damage, particularly on the aluminium bonnet and bootlid (aluminium can be trickier to repair).

The rule of thumb says that if you can see where repairs have been made, then they haven't been made properly.

Any car as new as this should also have a full service record and oil changes are important as this engine in this tune tends to run its oil fairly hot.

The big danger is that you wind up with a car that has been used for track-days. So check for things like extra tow-hooks, aftermarket gauges and even wheel rims that are scuffed and scratched, suggesting a lot of previous tyre-changes.

Mechanically, the big recurring problem is failed hydraulic lifters, so listen for a ticking noise when the engine is idling and first started.
