The Holden Special Vehicles GTS (or simply HSV GTS) is a performance vehicle produced by Australian company Holden Special Vehicles (HSV), the performance division of Holden. The GTS was introduced in 1992 along with the VP Series ClubSport as a flagship model for the HSV brand, featuring more luxury fittings, along with higher output engines and stronger running gear. From 1994 until 1997, the GTS featured a 5.7L stroker version of the 5000i Holden V8, before being replaced by the Chevrolet Gen III small block V8. In 1996 the HSV GTSR was released, as a limited production run featuring a worked engine, custom interior and unique XU3 Yellah paintwork. These cars have since sold for upwards of $1,000,000 (AUD), The GTSR nameplate was returned for HSV's Gen F2 series in 2015, these models featured slightly different bodywork and a more highly tuned engine.
