Holden Special Vehicles, or HSV, introduced recently the HSV GTS Maloo, which packs a massive 585 hp! The HSV Maloo GTS is powered by a 6.2 liter Supercharged LSA engine that develops 430 kW and 740 Nm of torque. Unfortunately, HSV did not disclose the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) acceleration time of the GTS Maloo, nor its top speed. The engine of the HSV GTS Maloo is coupled with a TR6060 (MG9 spec) 6-speed manual transmission with oil cooler and twin plate clutch, or an optional 6L90E 6-speed heavy duty automatic transmission with oil cooler. HSV equips the GTS Maloo with AP radical forged 6-piston brake calipers with 390mm (front) and 372mm (rear) 2-piece rotors. The Maloo GTS comes with Torque Vectoring, LED DRLs, new side skirts, twin-hump hard tonneau and performance sail-plane.
The GTS Maloo sits on 20-inch forged alloys and it comes with shadow-chrome quad exhaust tips.
