A containerful of spy photos showing a number of camouflaged HSVs at the firm’s Clayton production facility include emerged online, thanks to the ‘Club VF’ Facebook event.
Amongst them is purported to be the virile GTS-R W1, which is slatted to be the most cogent HSV/Commodore when it hits the thoroughfare sometime this year. They are spotty here wearing two of the three new Hemp to be introduced – Spitfire Green and Bright My Fire Orange (the other new colouring being Son of Gun Grey). Besides the new hue, the grasp-topper will get bespoke advance and rear bumpers, along with a new set of combination wheels.
The GTS-R W1 is rumoured to be powered by the 6.2-liter supercharged LS9 V8 from the previous-genesis Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, putting out the identical 470kW/820Nm of torque. 0-100km/h is claimed to be charmed care of in a mere 4 seconds.
