The History of the VN Clubsport

The Clubsport started as an inspired combination of 180kW SV89 mechanicals in a setting which wasn’t weighed down with unnecessary luxury. John Harvey is the acknowledged originator of the Clubsport concept and his motor racing focus is apparent the moment you see the car. Those who grew up with the Torana GTR XU-1 or the A9X understood the car’s basic exterior and cabin package immediately and tailored it to meet their own competition requirements. for those who didn’t, HSV offered a wide range of options including sports seats based on the Group A, divided rear sports seat, front, rear and side skirts and a full sports instrument pack.

The VN Clubsport was released in June 1990 as an initial batch of 60 cars that came in Asteroid Silver with most options fitted. After that, you could order any standard Holden exterior or cabin colour and many slipped through with trim from other models such as the Commodore S or HSV’s own LS series. The VN Clubsport also marked the change from simple SV badging to bold chrome HSV identification and VN Clubsports can be seen with either.

At the time, the VN Clubsport won many friends thanks to its agility and responsive feel. On the same suspension settings as the SV89 without the weight, it was more sensitive to driver input and its mechanical feel rewarded drivers even at low speeds. Its live axle and early Commodore front end, while technically not as advanced as later models, performed remarkably well and provided plenty of feedback. The standard brakes were its main limitation in competition use and the SV5000 brake option was money well-spent. Even though the Clubsport arrived late in the VN model life, a total production run of 247 is an indication of how well it was received.
