2017 HSV GTSR

2017 HSV GTSR

2017 HSV GTSR Australia's leading performance car manufacturer, HSV, showed the reintroduction to its line-up of the a whole lot-revered GTSR nameplate as a part of the final build of the domestically manufactured "Zeta" platform.

First seen on an HSV in 1996 with the introduction of the a great deal-acclaimed VS version, HSV will offer 3 GTSR version variations as part of its MY17 variety.

Drawing on its racing history, all three motors - GTSR (sedan), GTSR Maloo and GTSR W1 - proportion steady, music-inspired styling and performance DNA.

Delivering a decrease, wider, extra muscular stance, reinforcing HSV's track background and making a bold layout declaration were key drivers of the GTSR layout application.

All cars characteristic an all-new the front fascia with the giant use of matte black accents and easy, aggressive pictures that maximise air-intake and deliver a distinctive, race-stimulated appearance.

A formidable front splitter runs around the lower edges to accentuate the low-slung stance, with new Daytime Running Lamps finishing the particular front-end design.

The wider stance is more advantageous via the adoption of bold, new and wider the front fenders. These fenders are 12mm wider (consistent with aspect) than the stability of the HSV variety and characteristic new horizontal fender vents - carbon-fibre on GTSR W1.

In addition to supporting supply a extra competitive the front-give up stance, the wider fenders had been required to residence the all-new 20" x 9" (the front) and 20" x 10" (rear) SV Panorama forged alloy wheels.

These fashionable, five-spoke alloys, completed in Hyper Dark Stainless on GTSR and GTSR Maloo and Matte Black on GTSR W1, are ½ inch wider than the stability of the MY17 variety and feature waisted spoke facets that resource weight reduction.

A top rate, AP Racing, 6-piston brake package, featuring monoblock calipers and massive 410mm (the front) rotors and massive Ferodo 4488 brake pads, embellish all 3 GTSR fashions.

The new 410mm diameter rotor is a totally floating layout the usage of technology derived from race-vehicles but refined for the road. The monoblock caliper production gives you an improved electricity-to-weight ratio at the same time as the 410mm rotors proportion race-stimulated ("S" vane) cooling technology.

This global-class braking bundle takes AP Racing radical layout to an all new level delivering incredible preventing power and brake modulation, and a good less attackable pedal experience.

Complementing the GTSR variety's wheel and brake package, GTSR and GTSR Maloo characteristic Continental ContiSportContact 5P tyres. These tyres have been suited for all HSV models because the creation of the GEN-F range and were to start with selected for their superior dry and moist weather overall performance and for presenting the best stability between street conserving and experience comfort.

The GTSR W1's solid alloys are wrapped in in particular selected Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R 265/35 R20 (front) and 295/30 R20 (rear) tyres.

After massive evaluation by way of HSV engineers, those Pirelli tyres were chosen for his or her capability to maximize the automobile's music capability.

The Trofeo R tyre is largely a track-targeted race tyre with a completely unique tread and compound that delivers incredible performance and enables maximise standing start and mid-nook grip.

From a suspension attitude, GTSR will feature HSV's Magnetic Ride Control device, a semi-lively suspension machine which responds to avenue inputs and driving situations with dampers updated every one thousandth of a 2nd to optimise ride comfort, whilst GTSR W1 will be outfitted with all-new "SupaShock" suspension.

This race-inspired suspension system mirrors that fitted to Walkinshaw Racing's "Supercars" - subtle for on-avenue riding however with a music this is undeniably tune focussed to maximize the automobile's reason.

Internal components come directly from the racing industry with linear-style damper pistons that supply the lowest frictional losses of any commercial damper to be had and a front coil layout rated at approximately 2.2 times better than the balance of the HSV range.

At the rear, both GTSR and GTSR W1 feature an all-new fascia and diffuser that houses quad exhaust retailers with dual diamond pointers (shadow-chrome at the GTSR W1), whilst the decklid functions HSV's new "Aeroflow" spoiler handing over a strong and cohesive, race-inspired look. The spoiler higher is finished in carbon-fibre on GTSR W1.

GTSR Maloo additionally capabilities a new extensive and lower diffuser and quad exhaust retailers that integrate to deliver a sparkling and exceptional rear-end look.

Internally, the GTSR range displays its song history with all 3 automobiles featuring new HSV Podium seats completed in Alcantara with diamond-quilted stitching and leather-based bolsters (GTSR and GTSR Maloo) and complete Alcantara with diamond-quilted sewing (GTSR W1).

Striking pink herringbone dual-needle highlights additionally characteristic notably through-out the cabin, while an Alcantara-wrapped, sports activities-profile steering wheel and equipment selector are widespread on GTSR W1 and optionally available on each GTSR and GTSR Maloo.

HSV's engineering crew have labored feverishly to squeeze every ounce of capability out of the 6.2 litre Supercharged LSA Generation IV Alloy V8 that powers both GTSR and GTSR Maloo. The adoption of a brand new, (K&N) hi-glide overall performance air clear out sees most power output increase to 435kW, making this the most effective LSA V8 engine HSV has ever provided.

GTSR W1 will characteristic the acclaimed 6.2 litre Supercharged LS9 Generation IV Alloy V8 engine as at the start suited for the 6th generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.

Aided with the aid of its 2.Three litre supercharger, solid aluminium pistons, dry sump and carbon-fibre airbox (specially designed by HSV to fulfill the engine's precise air-flow requirements), the LS9-powered GTSR W1 could have a maximum power output of 474kW making it the maximum powerful performance production automobile ever constructed on this country. Maximum torque (815Nm) locations the car in "V8 Supercars" elegance.

This hand-built engine (it takes about 5 hours to bring together) is to be fitted at HSV's manufacturing facility in Clayton, Victoria.

To optimise the ability of this powertrain, GTSR W1 will utilise a Tremec TR6060 (MH3 spec.) close-ratio, 6-velocity manual gear box with a ZF SACHS twin-plate seize. This tools-set, together with solid-plate flywheel, is new to HSV and facilitates preserve engine RPMs more centred round maximum electricity output. When mated to this better revving engine, the transmission gives the motive force a far greater beneficial strength-band, assisting optimise the riding revel in.

Along with the capability to support the higher torque output of the LS9 engine, the MH3 equipment-set delivers terrific overall shift feel, with brief throws and smooth tools synchronisation.

The bi-modal exhaust device suited to the three GTSR fashions has been calibrated to open earlier in the "rev" variety than preceding HSV fashions, rounding off one of the maximum widespread powertrain applications in HSV's records.

All 3 GTSR fashions may also be outfitted with performance features signature to the HSV variety along with Torque Vectoring, Enhanced Driver Interface and a Driver Preference Dial to mild key electronic car structures which include Traction Control, Launch Control, Torque Vectoring, Bi-Modal Exhaust and Electric Power Steering.

Three new colours might be available with the GTSR range - "Spitfire", a colourful green, "Son of a Gun", a gunmetal grey and "Light My Fire", a metal, burnt orange. A tailored, superb vehicle cowl will also be presented with all GTSR fashions, in my opinion numbered on GTSR W1.

"With the MY17 range being the remaining of the Zeta platform product (GEN-F range), our intentions have been always to ship the platform off with a bang and the content material we've got brought is vital to that plan", said HSV's Managing Director, Tim Jackson.

"The GTSR call became closing used nearly 20 years in the past, and as we constructed this range with a view towards present day marketplace expectancies and tendencies, we couldn't assist but feel the GTSR nameplate changed into the logical fit for this family of product."

"We're assured we've got added our great product ever, and the greatest performance vehicles ever produced on this u . S .", he said.

Build of the GTSR range commences in April and while all automobiles might be available in confined quantities, production of GTSR W1 might be constrained to approximately 300 motors.
