2000 HSV Clubsport VX R8 - Gold - 155,718km - Supercharged LS1 5.7L V8, 6-Speed Manual - 432.6 RWkW
Overview
The HSV Clubsport VX R8 is one of the standout Australian performance sedans of its era, combining HSV styling and chassis development with the proven LS1 5.7-litre V8 and a 6-speed manual transmission. This example takes that performance formula considerably further, having undergone an extensive range of engine and performance modifications focused on producing serious power.
At the heart of the build is the LS1 5.7-litre V8, now fitted with a supercharger. The vendor advises the vehicle has recorded an impressive 432.6 RWkW (rear-wheel kilowatts), representing a substantial increase in performance over standard specification. Supporting the forced-induction setup are modified cylinder heads, upgraded camshaft, upgraded injectors and fuel pump, extractors and a performance exhaust system.
Combined with the 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel-drive layout, the modifications transform this VX R8 into a serious high-performance street car. The upgraded heads and camshaft complement the supercharger setup, while the upgraded fuel system provides additional fuel delivery to support the increased engine output. Extractors and the upgraded exhaust system further enhance engine breathing and give the modified LS1 an appropriately aggressive V8 soundtrack.
Finished in gold, the vehicle retains the distinctive styling and presence of the VX Clubsport R8 while concealing a substantially upgraded performance package beneath the bonnet. Showing 155,718 kilometres on the odometer, this is an enthusiast-focused HSV that will appeal to buyers looking for a modified Australian V8 rather than a standard factory example.
