2015 Holden Clubsport & Tourer R8 LSA Brochure
By 2015, Holden's final high-performance saloon arrived as both Clubsport and Tourer variants—a last hurrah before the nameplate's withdrawal from Australia. The supercharged 6.2-litre LSA engine delivered 550 horsepower, positioning it squarely against ageing American muscle imports. Buyers got track-focused suspension geometry, aggressive body kits, and the knowledge they wer
2012 Holden Clubsport R8 Tourer Brochure
By 2012, the Clubsport R8 Tourer faced a shrinking muscle-car market where Japanese turbocharged rivals and European sports saloons had already claimed territory. Holden's answer was uncompromising: a naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8 delivering 432 horsepower, wedged into a practical estate body that no competitor dared attempt. This was the last gasp of an era when Australian
2012 Holden GTS & Clubsport R8 Brochure
By 2012, Holden's final muscle-car lineup offered two distinct personalities under one bonnet: the 6.2-litre V8 delivering 432 horsepower in both the GTS and the track-focused Clubsport R8. The range split cleanly—the GTS as the accessible performance saloon, the R8 as the uncompromised variant for drivers who wanted everything the engine could give. Both competed fiercely agai
2017 Holden GTSR Model Range Brochure
By 2017, Holden positioned the GTSR as the final hurrah for locally built performance sedans in Australia. The 3.6-litre naturally aspirated V6 delivered 325 horsepower and 370 Newton-metres of torque—enough to challenge the Chrysler 300C and Ford Falcon XR8, both ageing rivals by then. The GTSR's arrival that year marked a last stand against imported competitors as local manuf
2015 Holden Gen-F2 GTS Brochure
By 2015, the GTS arrived in a market where V8 sedans were becoming scarce. Holden positioned it against fading rivals—the Chrysler 300C was aging, Ford's Australian six-cylinder Falcon had departed—making this naturally aspirated 6.2-litre engine producing 325 kW suddenly less an anachronism than a last stand. Australian buyers still wanted it.
2015 Holden Gen-F2 Maloo R8 LSA Brochure
By 2015, Holden needed a performance ute that could answer the growing appetite for American-style muscle in Australia. The Gen-F2 Maloo R8 LSA delivered exactly that: a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 producing 576 horsepower and 755 newton-metres of torque in a single-cab configuration. Buyers wanting genuine track-capable performance without leaving the ute segment found their ans
2014 Holden Maloo GTS Brochure
The 2014 Maloo GTS arrived with three distinct engine options spanning the range: buyers could choose the turbocharged 3.6-litre petrol delivering 239 kW, the 6.0-litre V8 good for 325 kW, or a diesel variant for those prioritizing torque over outright pace. Cabin trim levels reflected Australian truck-buyer expectations—work-ready yet increasingly refined. This breadth defined
2012 Holden Maloo R8 Brochure
The 2012 Maloo R8 offered buyers a choice rarely seen in ute catalogues that year: the coupe-bodied pickup sat alongside the extended-cab variant, each with the same 6.2-litre LS3 heart producing 325 kW. Holden's range strategy balanced raw performance with practical load-carrying, a formula that kept the Maloo competitive against Ford's F-Series and Toyota's Hilux.
2017 Holden Range 30th Anniversary Brochure
By 2017, Holden faced mounting pressure from imported rivals as local manufacturing wound down. Against the onslaught of European and Asian sedans, the 30th Anniversary range offered what few competitors could: a V6 engine delivering 210 kW, genuine space for five, and the deep brand loyalty Australian buyers had built over three decades. This edition was less celebration than
2012 Holden Senator Signature & Grange Brochure
Under the bonnet sat a 3.6-litre V6 producing 210 kW, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission that defined the Senator Signature's character in 2012. The powertrain delivered composed acceleration and highway refinement that positioned it squarely against ageing European saloons. Fuel consumption of around 11.0 L/100 km reflected the era's shift toward larger-capacity en
2015 Holden Senator Signature & Grange Brochure
By 2015, the Senator Signature faced an increasingly crowded segment where the Camry and Accord had already claimed significant ground. Yet Holden's V6-powered contender, producing 211 kW from 3.6 litres, offered a distinctly Australian character that overseas rivals struggled to match. The Grange variant pushed further upmarket, targeting buyers who valued local engineering cr
