2016 HSV Clubsport R8 (LSA) 0-100km/h & engine sound

[@xxMrBaldyxx]

my neighbour owns one of these cars. It's scary sitting in the passenger seat of this car; he drives like he's on a race track. Even once the car is already doing 40 or 50kph if he suddenly accelerates hard, he can make the wheels spin. Pedestrians (and other drivers) often turn their heads and look, because they hear the loud deep rumble of the engine. I swear the whole neighborhood can hear it when he drives fast - it is so loud, but it sounds good too.

[@CurtisLSA]

Always turn heads in my GTS its a pleasure to drive and own and see many taking photos !

[@TheM275]

I will miss Australian car manufacturing.

[@HULK-HOGAN1]

TheM275 What do Holden fans buy now that the manufacturing isn’t local anymore? I imagine the loyalists felt betrayed.

[@tomb_1343]

Y K They just buy used I assume

[@pjbrawn2646]

Thank the liberal party it's gone

[@mathewrichardson2830]

You can even hear the bi-modal exhaust switch over on the acceleration tests. That's wicked.

[@user-hp4nk6qp6p]

Nice car, but for a SC V8 I was expecting a lot better than 4.82s @ 0-100. My 2016 V6 SC Jaguar XE did 4.6 - 4.7s @ 0-100. It did have the german ZF tranny though which shifted instantaneously....I feel like the transmission on this HSV is really what holds this car back. Sounds great though!

[@xennethsixx2838]

I love the fact that the car was so loud that the microphone broke for a second until after it was launched, that means a lot to the rev heads

[@David645207]

Very well put together video, thank you for adding braking times, under 35 metres is truly world class.

[@frogchaser]

looks great! I live in the US and if it were available here in a 6-speed manual I would be owning one that's for sure.

[@Steve_jones113]

they are available in the usa under the chev name

[@frogchaser]

Brett D yeah the Chevy SS. I prefer the HSV because it looks a lot more badass and it has the LSA motor.

[@7071t6]

Nice car. :) The only aspect i have noticed with all but one version is this the rear door handle does not have a blue LEd light to illuminate at night or day time other than the caprice ? WHY when the caprice rear door trim is already made,so why not incorporate it with all the cars right or wrong ?

[@aaronsdunk]

The bi-modal exhaust needs a bit of refining, but I guess thats easily sorted.

[@HULK-HOGAN1]

It sounds so nice! I wish Honda would make something aggressive like this. My Accord Euro CU2 has a mean look but the NA 2.4 L engine doesn’t do it justice. I’d love to simply test drive a beast like this just once.

[@silverssonyoutube8438]

is there a speed test comparison between this and the gts ?

My younger brother marcellous caught the plane down from Karratha - western Australia north Pilbara, Me and uncle Rodger and the bro went to pick his VEGTS 2014 ,427ci 7.0litre - 500kw - Heavy duty clutch,Gear drive,800 wild horses behind the big red monster , she's a hungry machine - over 1000km Took him 3 hours 42 minutes to get home to Wickham from Perth City

[@jeffaustin8112]

Dude the distance from Perth to Wickham is actually over 1500km in order for your brother to get from Wickham to Perth in 3 hours 42 minutes he’d need to be travelling at an average speed of 411.35 kmph so yeah no that didn’t happen

[@jordanschuh9754]

Can I please see a 0 to 100 video with a hsv gtsr w1 please.

[@chrissmith9854]

Big 1st gear.. sweet sound I’d grab one

[@heandy5563]

Why it is slower than the GENf clubsport?

[@JulianKapa]

Maybe it's just got too much torque from the supercharger, causing the wheels to spin too much

[@smallk6453]

6.2 supercharged, 0-100 4.8 ? Typo?

[@bigaussiecan]

Where’s the gtsr test drive? 😜

They are now over $100k and will keep going up. I hope you did get one because they made 40 percent in 4 years. My dad and I won't sell ours any time soon.

[@ryanctliu]

try to burnout the tyres first and shift to M-mode and turn off the TRC. you will get a better secs.

[@armejonge6842]

A lot of ppl seems to hate Holden.. This still became my fav car tho. 4.8 is slow for ppl who can't do it.

[@FjordTrotter]

[@thatmatty231guy]

[@swaggames827]

no real difference,,except the c63 is not a big family car. looking at maybe ,3 seconds difference

[@CHRISTisKING7777]

hahaha R8 Lsa will smash the c63 lol but not the new c63S

[@thatmatty231guy]

alex jones You wouldn't say it would smash it, be close, but yes the new C632S would do it slight damage.

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

soundwise the c63 kills it and the new c63s is an animal

[@subarus6]

They are nice and id love one but jeez... 4.82sec for 0-100 is pretty poor for a 6.2L v8 with a supercharger. An rs3 is quicker with a 2.5LT.

[@johnnyVGtran]

exhaust doesn't sound as deep and tough as the gts

[@nodad8763]

How does this car have the same 0-100 as the old car if this car has 60 more kilowatts?

[@TheWretchedWorld]

its considerably heavier and thanks to its beefed up drive train (9.9 inch rear differential stronger driveshafts uprated box) contributes to bigger losses through the drive train. That being said its nothing a tune pulley and an exhaust cant fix...

[@robertarchbold8658]

cause that 400kw is really about 280kw at the wheels

[@nlikos180]

Wrong. My ve ss mods got 363kw at the engine and 280kw at the wheels. LSA stock around 300 to 310 at the wheels.

[@robertarchbold8658]

NoOne! so the 400kw clubby has the same power at the wheels as the 430kw gts?

[@nlikos180]

robbo 2 gts has little power than r8.

[@Walms83]

Didn't appear to be the best launch. I'd suspect maybe another tenth or two possible

[@Walms83]

Pretty sure the GTS video was timed in the transmissions normal mode. In sport mode it takes off in 1st gear (normal in 2nd), but can suffer traction wise a little.
