HSV W427 - 200 vehicle build cap

Holden Special Vehicles has today confirmed that it will cap the production of the HSV W427 at 200 vehicles - and the final number will be determined when last orders are taken in June next year. The $155,000 HSV is the most expensive HSV ever. Packing a 7.0-litre LS7 V8 engine, HSV claims it sprints from 0-100km/h in the mid four-second barrier, making it an ultra-fast Aussie hauler.

HSV W427-1HSV W427-2HSV Managing Director, Phil Harding said “The W427 program has been a great success, ahead of target and ahead of plan.”

The final W427 will roll off the production line in the latter part of 2009, prompting HSV to remind potential purchasers to place orders quickly for this very limited edition HSV.

“Existing W427 customers have told us they want to keep their purchase as exclusive as possible and some potential customers have asked us for clarification on exactly how many W427 Supercars we intend to build,” Mr Harding said.

HSV says 96 cars have so far been built and about another 40 orders, the car is only confirmed for construction when a retail customer places a confirmed order, are on hand, which leaves about 60 places in the order book for the remaining cars.

So if you’re intending on sinking $155,000 into a HSV, join the queue quickly!

HSV W427 on sale in August

It is finally confirmed, the HSV W427 is coming in August and will cost $150,000, plus on road costs, under the current Luxury Car Tax regime.

Holden Special Vehicles (HSV) has just issued a press release announcing the program for the seven litre W427 program, including pricing, volume and distribution strategy.

HSV W427Not surprisingly, only 427 W427s will be built, however all will be built to order at the Clayton production facility. HSV will give each Australian and New Zealand HSV Dealer (64 in total) one W427 (as long as they have a firm retail order) while the rest will be allocated to dealers based on 2007 sales figures.

The all important figures? Tom Walkinshaw has just confirmed the final power output figure for the W427 will be 375kW and 640NM of torque.

From the outside you can tell its a W427 thanks to its all new exclusive front fascia, all new 3 piece rear spoiler in carbon fibre and all new 20 inch wheels.The interior is treated with HSV E series performance seats in full red hot trim with W427 logo plus HSV steering wheel, gear shifter and console lid in full red hot leather trim.

Suspension is also different over the GTS with the new springs being 30% stiffer than the GTS, while the car sits 20mm lower than GTS as well. The rear gets stiffer suspension bushing, plus HSV has had to rework the Magnetic Ride Control calibration to suit new springs, ride height and bushing.

The W427 comes to a stop using 6 piston front braking system (50% increase in pad area) with 2 piece floating front rotors (380 x 35mm) compared to 365 x 32mm one piece on GTS.
