Hsv Vy2 - Specs Released

[DrewBytes]

For those that are interested look here: (this is the Grange only)

The rest of the range won't be released until 4th Sep, but it's safe to say, this confirms the 285kw across the range.

It's a big, heavy car, yet they're quoting 0-400m times of 13.92 which is pretty good for a luxo limo!

I think I'd have to see it in the flesh. Pics on that hsv site, hmmm, dunno - something not quite right. Looks heavy, and top half doesn't seem to integrate too well with the bottom half (maybe its that long nose ).

All I can say is, let the power war begin.

I hate to say it, but I had a WH HSV Grange as my wedding car, this one looks heaps better...

I'm glad I converted to the almighty XR6Turbo though :D

I like what they've done with the front end look's a hell of a lot better, the charcoal's a very tuff lookin colour.

But at 85+ it's just a pipe dream for most (especialy when you can get a GT for 20 less or a GT-P for 10 less with 290 kw's and 520nm{upspecing both to the same accessories might bring the price closer though}).

If that time is right then it's damn quick - especially with 3.07 diff.

Imagine the lighter Clubsport which is rumored to get this engine with a 3.7 diff! - Mid 13's I would suggest.

Sure, way too expensive for most of us and they're only making 100 so the owners feel more exlcusive.

Don't forget it's a long wheelbase limo - I guess similar to the Fairlane LTD I think? Do they still make that? Anyway, it's like an LTD on steroids. Sure you could option a GT-P up with the DVD etc etc but it still wouldn't be a limo - different cars for a different purpose. :D
