2017 HSV Clubsport R8 Tourer LSA MY18

The biggest, brawniest Aussie family wagon ever made and more importantly the last.

The Holden HSV R8 LSA Tourer is a Sports Wagon injected with a potent anabolic steroid - a muscled-up 6.2-litre Supercharged V8 tuned to produce an enormous 410 Kilowatts and 671 Torques.

It’s essentially a ZL1 Camaro built for the school run.

Although it pumps out a massive amount of power, it doesn’t dilute its pragmatic approach and there’s plenty of room for five occupants with enough boot space for their gear as well.

Simply put, this R8 Tourer LSA is the most powerful wagon Holden Special Vehicles has ever built – and one of the most extreme Sports Wagons to ever grace Australian roads. Probably any road.

Offered here is car number 56. Delivered new to Sydney by Chatswood Holden to it’s one and only owner in Heron White this as new example has travelled just under 4,000 kilometres.

With a complete factory service history, the last in January of this year, this R8 Clubsport Tourer is the three-dimensional representation of an end of an era, not just the last RWD, Australian produced Holden but the very last of its kind.

This true collector’s item is held in rarefied territory.

Considering its closest rival in outright performance terms is the Audi RS6 and a $250,000 proposition, this True-Blue Australian legend is an absolute bargain and offers an exceedingly rare opportunity to own an important slice of our storied motoring history, never to be repeated.

Blink, and you’ll miss it.
