The ultimate seat of power

Fire up the GTS’ 6.2 litre, supercharged LSA Generation IV alloy V8, and the roar from the newly calibrated bi-modal twin exhaust system with quad outlets will let everyone know you’re coming. A warning they’ll appreciate, because with 430kW of power and 740Nm of torque at your disposal, you’ll be an imposing force to behold.

Exterior

The stance is purposeful, low and aggressive. Distinctive matte black 20” forged alloy wheels, lower air-intake spears and a subtle front fascia splitter add to the GTS’s menacing looks. This is a car that takes centre stage wherever it goes, and with good reason.

Wheels

The GTS features 20" x 8.5" (front) and 20" x 9.5" (rear) forged alloy wheels in matte black.

Daytime Running Lamps

The dual function lamp runs as a Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) and a Position Lamp meaning they can be seen at night, at a slightly lower intensity, in conjunction with the headlights.

Superflow Performance Rear Spoiler

The GTS features the HSV Superflow Performance rear spoiler finished in body colour with Pitch Black accenting. This spoiler complements the integrated and aggressive design of the rear fascia.

Entertainment

The GTS features an 8" high-resolution, colour touch-screen display along with USB input, single CD player with the capability to play MP3 tracks, full iPod® integration and a 9-speaker BOSE® premium audio system.

Enhanced Bluetooth ^©

The Bluetooth^© fitted standard to the GTS is fully integrated so keeping in touch, while on the move, has never been easier.

Driver Environment

Side Blind Zone Alert with Reverse Traffic Alert

The Side Blind Zone Alert system extends driver vision, using ultrasonic waves to detect objects adjacent to the vehicle in the traditional “blind spot” zones. Reverse Traffic Alert intuitively scans rear cross traffic and warns you of any approaching vehicle hazards.

Head-Up Display

The Head-Up Display provides the driver with important vehicle information including speedometer, tachometer and lateral G forces, in a safe and convenient way on the windscreen directly in front of them.

Enhanced Driver Interface (EDI)

EDI connects with the vehicle’s on-board computer to constantly stream real-time vehicle dynamics and performance data to the touch screen display.

Passive Entry and Remote Start (Automatic Transmission Only)

Passive entry is a keyless access system which lets you lock and unlock the vehicle’s doors without removing the remote from your pocket, briefcase etc.

Vehicles with automatic transmission have remote start which allows the vehicle’s engine to be started from outside the vehicle by using the remote start button found on the remote key.

Automatic Park Assist

The Automatic park assist system helps take the guess work out of reversing into tight parking spaces through the use of parking sensors located in the front and rear fascias. The sensors detect the suitability of a parking space, calculate the correct drive path and steer the vehicle into position. All that is left for the driver to do is control the accelerator, brakes, transmission and clutch (in manual vehicles).

Forward Collision Alert

A camera, located above the rear view mirror, scans the road ahead up to 14 times per second. When a collision is predicted, the driver is alerted with an audible tone and a visual alert in the Head-Up Display. Anticipating hard braking, the system applies sufficient brake pressure to close the space between the brake pads and rotors, thus delivering a quicker brake response time.

Lane Departure Warning

Lane departure warning alerts the driver to any unintentional lane departures with an audible sound and warning indicator.

Rain Sensing Wipers

Rain sensing wipers are a convenience feature in that the windscreen wipers will operate when water is detected on the windscreen without the driver having to manually operate them.

Hill Start Assist/Hill Hold Control

The Hill start assist system assists in preventing rollback when taking off, when the vehicle is on an incline or decline (when reversing).

Performance Technologies

Supercharged LSA Engine

The GTS features a 6.2 litre Supercharged LSA engine which provides a staggering 430kW of power and 740Nm of torque (DIN).

With all this power comes the need for massive amounts of air cooling, which is why the GTS’ design is not only stylish and sophisticated, but also functional. To also assist with its cooling requirements, the GTS is fitted with a stacked plate engine oil cooler and a stand-alone water-to-air charge-air cooling system.

Unique tail shafts cater for the higher torque loads and the rear differential helps transfer all of that power to the ground.

Driver Preference Dial

The Driver Preference Dial controls electronic vehicle systems including ESC, Traction Control, Launch Control (manual only), Electric Power Steering calibration, Magnetic Ride Control calibration, Torque Vectoring and bi-modal exhaust, increasing performance with every clockwise turn.

AP Racing Brakes

The GTS features a brake package which was developed using NASCAR and Supercars technologies. This brake package delivers outstanding brake modulation, feel and performance.

The GTS is fitted with forged 6-piston front calipers with 2-piece front and rear rotors providing an increase in brake application response, combined with greater stopping power.

Continental Tyres

The ContiSportContact 5P tyres, custom tuned for the HSV range, provide superior levels of ride quality and road grip in both dry and wet weather conditions.

Torque Vectoring

Torque Vectoring uses the ESC system to detect when the vehicle is starting to understeer, and helps correct it. The system operates by transferring torque across the rear axle from the inside wheel to the outside wheel. This is accomplished by braking the inside wheel and adding torque, through increased engine power, to the outside wheel. The result is a “rotational moment”, acting on the body, helping to steer the vehicle through the corner.

Generation 3 Magnetic Ride Control (MRC)

Generation 3 MRC is a semiactive suspension system that allows damping to be adjusted in the blink of an eye to deliver greater body control, sharper handling and superior ride quality.

There are 2 independent settings on GTS: "Touring" and "Sport".

Electric Power Steering

Electric Power Steering, with 2 modes, matches steering calibration with ESC settings, providing an optimum level of “feel” through the steering wheel that can be changed to suit driving preferences.

Launch Control (Manual Transmission Only)

Launch Control provides the vehicle with the ability to accelerate, from standstill, at its maximum potential by managing engine torque and wheel-slip ratios.

Competition Mode - Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

Competition Mode ESC is specifically designed to give the driver more freedom under ‘spirited’ driving conditions.

Transmission

The GTS features a Tremec TR-6060 (MG9 spec.) 6-speed manual transmission with oil cooler and twin plate clutch as standard and is also available with the optional 6L90E 6-speed heavy duty automatic transmission with Active Select and paddle shifters which enable manual-like gear changes.

Sunroof

The factory fitted electric sunroof features tilt and slide functions and a block out sunshade.

Temporary Spare Wheel

Full size, 20” temporary spare wheel in gloss black. (Note: Tyre Pressure Monitor is not available on the temporary spare wheel.)

Safety/Security

Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)

ABS reduces wheel lock under heavy braking situations by momentarily releasing brake pressure at the wheels required. This improves stopping distances on most surfaces, improves braking efficiency and enables better steering in demanding braking conditions.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

Exclusively calibrated by HSV, the GTS’s ESC system monitors steering wheel angle and speed to make turning corners safer. If loss of traction occurs, ESC activates to apply brake pressure to individual wheels and, if necessary, reduces engine power.

Electronic Brake Assist (EBA)

In emergency braking situations, few people apply the required pressure to the brake pedal. EBA activates to optimise brake pressure performance.

DataDots

DataDot DNA Platinum is the ultimate deterrent to both “professional” car thieves and component counterfeiters or supplier overruns. Thousands of DataDot DNA are applied to every HSV vehicle, all of them laser-etched with the unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
