2013 Holden Special Vehicles GTS Manual MY12.5

2013 HSV GTS E Series 3 Manual. THE PINNACLE OF PRE-VF HSV PERFORMANCE.

Finished in Silver, this HSV GTS E Series 3 Manual represents one of the finest performance sedans HSV ever built. Combining the legendary 6.2L LS3 V8, a 6-speed manual transmission, and HSVs most advanced E Series package, this is a genuine enthusiasts car from Australias golden era of performance motoring.

Before electronic soundtracks, turbocharging, and downsized engines, there was the GTS. Big cubic capacity. Rear-wheel drive. A naturally aspirated V8. A proper manual gearbox.

This fine example has been treated with the best care, with an average of only 700km driven a year. Put together with a fine tooth comb, adding:
