HSV E Series

The HSV E Series is a high-performance car based on the Holden VE Commodore produced by the Australian carmaker Holden under its HSV marque. Released in 2006, the E Series range included Clubsport, Maloo, Senator and GTS models. It featured distinct styling elements like LED taillights and vertical front fender grilles. Initially powered by a 6.0L LS2 V8 engine, it transitioned to a 6.2L LS3 V8 in 2008, offering up to 325 kW (442 PS; 436 hp) in the E Series 2 version.

The E Series 2, released in 2010, introduced a facelift with new bumpers, a twin-nostril bonnet, and updated engines, along with improved fuel economy, launch control, and competition mode ESC. The E Series 3, starting in 2011, added options like LPG compatibility, new driver interfaces, and various interior updates.

The Clubsport also had variants like the R8 Tourer (wagon), exported versions (CSV CR8 for the Middle East), and high-performance models like the Vauxhall VXR8 in the UK, which received a supercharged version. The HSV range included more powerful models such as the GTS, Maloo (utility), and Senator (luxury sedan), each with unique performance and design features. The W427, a limited edition model, featured a 7.0L LS7 V8 and was the most powerful vehicle in the E Series lineup.
