Model by model: HSV GEN-F

Clubbie and 'SV Enhanced' back, but GTS is the star

HSV's new GEN-F range is the first in the company's 25-year history to be developed to the same timetable as its donor car partner. Holden announced the model-walk details and pricing of the VF Commodore last week, now it's the hot-haus' turn.

“It’s a really proud moment for the team at Clayton”, said HSV’s Managing Director, Phil Harding, on the announcement of the range details.

“The GEN-F range is the culmination of over four years of design, development and testing and we’re really confident that we’ve developed the best HSVs ever”.

Below is a rundown on the full GEN-F range – including the luxo Senator and Grange variants. You can also read our range overview and GTS detail stories elsewhere.

Though no prices are available, we don't expect significant change from the existing line-up for carry-over nameplates.

The new 430kW GTS?.. Well, what would you pay? That's the $64,000, or perhaps, $104,000 question...
