Still wanting a tuner that's covered fully by insurance and maybe, just maybe, came out, hot off the factory with those subzero looking modified body kits on it? You're in luck because Holden Special Vehicles (HSV) has decided to celebrate its 25th year by producing just 140 units of this mad looking beast. Still, lucky as you may be, this car will only be sold in Australia, 125 of them with the remainder 15 being sold in New Zealand.
Not to disappoint you or anything but this special edition has nothing to do with power hikes but aesthetics only. Not that its current powerplant is a disappointment though because inside this special edition GTS is a 6.2l V8 developing a healthy 436 bhp and 550 Nm of torque.
The 25th Anniversary GTS gets a hefty amount of bells and whistles such as new 20-inch forged alloys finished in Satin Graphite that saves 22kg over the standard GTS' or 8% of unsprung weight, vector hood scoops, side vents, updated grille, superflow spoiler, a bi-modal exhaust system and loads of badges. Even though the engine wasn't touched, other performance parts as well as safety are enhanced. The brakes are now six pistoned, there's Rear Park Assist with rear camera as well as Side Blind Zone Alert System which pretty much works like Volvo's BLIS I suppose.
All this can be had for AU$84,990. It may be expensive but try finding the price of a regular GTS and you'll find this the bargain of the century.
