| The ClubSport. Body and soul by HSV, heart by Chevrolet... a 5.7
litre, 250kW, 473Nm brute beating away inside, backed by an engineering depth built on 44
years of continuous Chevrolet small block V8 development. And, of course, there is a new
ultimate ClubSport, the R8 performance version. The LS1 is a clean sheet design, yet the new engine retains the
simplicity, low maintenance and longevity of earlier Chevy V8 engines. But it draws on the
latest technology and materials to deliver unprecedented levels of refinement, performance
and economy. Launched in the most sophisticated Corvette ever, the LS1 was engineered from
the start as one of the world's great sports car engines. It delivers
a seamless rush of
power right up to its 6000rpm redline, yet it is remarkably flexible and docile for
everyday driving.
The ClubSport and ClubSport R8. Two great HSV road and track
packages, now with LS1 power and the same Chevrolet V8 heritage as the famous Holden V8
race cars. |
