 There it is in all its glory. All I need to say is that someone at HSV will be losing their job soon for these leaks. Crenno would be FUMING! Must say that the different rear end and front does not look at all good. The taillights look like a crap photoshop that a kid would do as an impression... It does however look classy, and less plastic. I just Hate those taillights.... Engine output is 304kw at 6000rpm. Wheel sizes are 19x8 with 245/40R19, 19x9.5 with 275/35R19 and 20x8 with 245/35R20, 20x9.5 with 275/30 R20. 48mm offset for front and 57mm offset for rear wheels. Front brake rotors are 365 x 32mm and rear is 350 x 26mm. Tare mass Clubsport R8 1760kg, GTS 1777kg and Senator 1792kg. Heres the link to the thread: http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthre...t=59692&page=6 |

A bit to "in your face" for mine. However that may be the white popping off the black inserts, so I reserve final judgement until I see a darker colour in the flesh.

Those lights remind me of the current FPV range!!!!!!!!!!!
Holden / HSV - Stooges! Mind you, fundamental element to successful business is indeed plaigarism...  :

The rear lights are very a la Mazda 6 and I think the front brake duct/fog light recess and that vent behind the front wheel are over the top. However, as with others I'll wait to see further pics.
How far down the line are the HSVs going to be released? |

Checkout the size of those rear's tyre's, hmmmmm, with a lot off punch under the hood and a good suspension and those enormous rear tyres, I think these thing's will fly, better than our FPV's anyway.

I like the rear... very "VR/P rear lights meats VZ headlights" sorta tail lights...
The front looks shocking... it looks like the front off a VZ moulded around the new VE headlights...

Front looks terrible. What were they thinking with those fog lights/ducts?
Rear lights look ok but I dont reckon they match the rest of the car. |

Should have left the tail-lights alone I reckon!
Front looks OK. HSV would be spewing! Thats a bigger leak than the Titanic had!

Hmmm.. F6 nose and tail styling cues.. looks like its got 4wd suspension, i just can't live with those guards and flares... i think suspension joints are going to do well out of VE.
I think FPV will be breathing easier tonight.

hmm I dont think the rear is that bad.
But those fog light housing are horrible! Just looks silly how it angles up towards the head lights. Lower bumper sections are very FPV. Can anyone make out whats under those vents? I dont mind the rear spoiler from that angle either.

Like some have already said, Holden has indeed run out of ideas and have had inspiration from FPV, Mazda, Audi etc etc.
