The HSV GTS is one of Australia’s most celebrated performance sedans, born from Holden’s Commodore platform and sharpened by Holden Special Vehicles into a genuine local muscle icon. Across its generations, the GTS built a reputation for big V8 power, rear-wheel-drive balance, aggressive styling and long-distance comfort, making it equally at home on a highway cruise, weekend back road or track day. Later models, especially the Gen-F GTS, became legendary thanks to the supercharged 6.2 litre LSA V8, huge brakes, magnetic ride control and a cabin packed with premium technology. It proved Australia could build a world-class performance car with character, practicality and serious pace.

For enthusiasts shopping at Automotive Superstore, the HSV GTS is a rewarding car to maintain, upgrade and personalise. Popular replacement and performance parts include performance brake pads and rotors, suspension components, filters, oils, exhaust upgrades, cooling parts, ignition components, detailing products and quality tyres. Because many GTS models deliver substantial torque, keeping driveline, braking and cooling systems in top condition is especially important. The right accessories can also help preserve these increasingly collectible vehicles, from car covers and interior protection to battery chargers and premium cleaning gear.

Culturally, the HSV GTS represents the peak of Australia’s locally built V8 sedan era. When local Commodore production ended in 2017, demand for final HSV models surged, and the GTS became a modern classic almost overnight. For many fans, it remains a symbol of Aussie engineering, Bathurst spirit and family-car practicality with supercar attitude.
