To maximise performance across the range, the intelligent engine control system adjusts every 6.25 milliseconds. It is as natural as breathing. The result can be breathtaking.

To enhance integration of driver and car, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) includes driver assist technology. Competition Mode ESC is an Australian production first offering greater feel through corners than traditional electronic stability settings. Extended Cruise Control (ECC), another example of technology leadership, modulates your speed to keep you legal through every rise and fall of the road.

From a slick city street to the open highway, you’ll get more out of Australian roads when you’re gliding on Magnetic Ride Control (MRC) suspension, featured on GTS, Senator Signature and Grange. The ride becomes instinctive and can match your mood at the touch of a button, offering the perfect balance of driving comfort and dynamic handling by selecting Track or Performance modes. This is car and driver working together to achieve the perfect driving experience.

Nothing can hold it back, except you. In a first for an Australian production car, Launch Control makes maximum acceleration become second nature in manual E2 HSVs, with total control all the way to the redline.

A unique human/machine relationship begins as your HSV E2 takes shape. Hundreds of new E2 components are fitted by the highly skilled technicians at our production facility in Clayton, Victoria. From the Daytime Running Lamps (DRLs) to the exhaust tips, much of your HSV E2 is assembled by hand. Before the finished product is allowed to leave our premises, every detail is checked by a uniquely precise instrument – the human eye. It’s a state of the art process that elevates, rather than replaces, the importance of craftsmanship. Pride becomes a standard feature. Perfection becomes instinctive.

Desire is a reaction that needs no explanation. But with the E2 GTS, looks definitely play a part. The ‘shockwave’ inspired shape of the front grille makes an unforgettable first impression that can't be ignored. The distinctive ‘E’ shape vents with integrated turn signals sit boldly above the GTS badge, which carries a legend built over four decades of Australian motoring history. Twin-intercepting LED tail lamps and the HSV Performance rear spoiler complete the look, while the Bi-Modal exhaust opens up under acceleration giving the GTS an awe-inspiring engine note.

When you’re driving in a GTS, you'll feel connected to the road like never before. Sense the bitumen through wide 8.5" front rims, with unique Bridgestones specially designed for GTS and the Australian roads it travels.

Combined with a new lower, stiffer suspension and E2 Performance alloys, this achieves a degree of control normally experienced only on a racetrack.

And because braking is the most instinctive reaction of all, stopping power can be given a massive boost from the SV Enhanced 6-piston front brakes – available exclusively for GTS owners.

Even before 325kW of power is unleashed, the GTS driver will feel completely spoiled. HSV Performance seats with Onyx leather trim will embrace you as the vehicle’s final, vital component. 8-way electric adjustment on both front seats will ensure that you fit perfectly, like every part of this hand-crafted Australian masterpiece.
