"The HSV Clubsport became an Aussie icon after debuting in 1990 as Holden Special Vehicles' answer to homegrown muscle. Based on the Holden Commodore, it offered sharper styling, more power and a racier feel, sitting below the top-tier HSV GTS. Early models featured V8 grunt, tuned suspension and unique bodykits that quickly won fans across the country.

Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, the Clubsport evolved into a high-performance staple, often using the same powertrains as the Chevrolet Corvette. LS-series V8s became the norm, delivering serious speed without sacrificing practicality. Buyers loved the mix of family-friendly proportions and track-inspired dynamics, with each generation pushing the envelope further.

As Holden wound down local manufacturing, the final Clubsport R8 LSA — fitted with a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 — served as a fitting farewell. While never officially sold overseas under the HSV badge, similar models were exported as the Vauxhall VXR8 and Chevrolet SS. Today, the Clubsport remains a legend of Australian performance motoring."

The line-up currently starts at $44,880 for the Clubsport R8 Lsa 30Th Edition and ranges through to $75,460 for the range-topping Clubsport R8 Tourer Lsa.

HSV Clubsport FAQs

My 2011 HSV Clubsport radio turns on and drains the battery overnight

When ever a car starts to do crazy stuff like turn its own radio on, switch its headlights on and unlock itself at random, you need to look at the body computer. This controls all those functions and many more and, when it starts to fail, these phantom symptoms can start to surface.

In some cases, you may need to replace the body computer, but there’s a free hack you can try first. Disconnect the car’s battery and leave it overnight. Reconnect it next morning and see if the symptoms disappear. Sometimes, this trick will reset the body computer and all will be well. The effect may not be permanent, but it’s free and definitely worth a shot before spending money.
