The Holy Grail of HSV- THE W427!
The HSV W427 is the limited edition flagship of the current E Series range by automobile manufacturer Holden Special Vehicles, released in celebration of the company’s 20th Anniversary.
The W427 is based on the GTS, but replaces the 6.2L LS3 V8 with the 7.0L LS7 V8 (also used in the Chevrolet Corvette Z06). Power outputs are 510 PS (375 kW; 503 bhp) at 7000 rpm and 640 N·m (470 lb·ft) at 5000 rpm, and 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) is achieved in 4.7 seconds, making the W427 the most powerful and fastest car ever built in Australia.[citation needed] It features re-calibrated Magnetic Ride Control and stiffer suspension settings than the GTS, as well as a toughened 6-speed manual gearbox, a new exhaust system, and larger 6-piston brakes.
The W427’s name is the result of a combination of factors. W is to honour the founder of HSV, Tom Walkinshaw. The 427 is simply the engine capacity in cubic inches, but it is also a nod to the HRT 427C, a similar 7.0L V8 engined car which never went into mass-production.
The original concept model was produced in the same colour as the very first HSV model, the VL Commodore SS Group A SV.
The W427 went on sale in August 2008 and retails for AUD$155,500 (EUR€90920). Only 137 were built (this number doesn’t include HSV’s show car ie 138 are built), to be sold only in Australia and New Zealand (only 3 exported to NZ).
The last W427 to be built was made to order in July 2009.
