FactThis GTS was a scramble job: HSV rushed it out in September 1992 to answer Ford’s EB GT, built largely from VN Group A parts-bin leftovers — motor, brakes, spoiler kit included — with only about 130 made.
The HSV GTS, HSV's flagship model, was introduced with the VP series in 1992 as a more luxurious, higher-output sibling to the ClubSport, with a 5.0-litre Holden V8 at 200 kW (268 hp) and stronger running gear; a New Zealand-only GTS V6 (3.8-litre Buick V6) had run from 1990 to 1992 on the VN/VP before this. The range continued through VR, VS (including the ultra-rare 1996 GTSR), VT, VX, Y, E-series and beyond to 2017, none entered here.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
