  • Since I can't afford this damn car I only need to know one maybe two things! DOES IT HAVE NAVIGATION, and if so WHERE CAN I BUY THE HEAD UNIT TO ADD TO MY G8. Big worthless effing screen....

  • piss poor Review dude, ur just a member of the public who went to the motor show yeh? lmfao

  • @COBRAXR8 370 rated at wheels cockhead

  • @yenkopower Sorry dude but no ls7 is gonna make such a low rwhp number more like 440 to 450 at the wheels!My modded naturally aspirated ls1 makes 414 rwhp on a dynapack dyno...you are a bit off to say the least,lol!

  • Holden is iconic. I'm glad they stayed with V8's instead of going to 6 cylinders like ford. Also this presenter sounds like he's asleep.

  • @StrikeSurgical Cant deny that ford 6's are weapons.

  • can we get this in unit states

  • just buy a VE clubby or ss and put a supercharger on it, half the price plus more power anyway...

  • Any illiterate aussie junk would buy a Commodore instead of a Veyron.

    "Holden mate" fuckheads

  • @theredrooter

    its called aussie pride, you guys probs havnt heard of nationalism aye

  • @theredrooter Your clearly just another jealuse American comming on to youtube with an ego as big as your stomachs. Just enjoy the cars and the videos you watch.

  • @theredrooter I would buy a Commodore instead of a Veyron because i cannot afford a Veyron or what it would cost to keep it on the road. Also they are impractical.

    Even if i had the cash there are plenty of other things i'd spend it on.

  • didn't know "you's" was actually a word lol

  • jap cars are for wogs and fat chick car cruisers

  • @scottiebones orrr people who like jap cars?

  • @1234phoenixpro So... if a jap car... say a GTR were to go up against this... bone stock... you'd laugh in my face? It's miles quicker, better made and the same damn price. Have a think.

  • like it

    one of best car

  • half you guys are saying shit about this car? holden is an Australian icon. what do you drive? Mitsubishi magna? suck me

  • @SubiNwoofer whats bad about the magna? just cos its not true blue australian ayy mattee, cant put a southern cross on it ayyy

  • @qwertyismypass

    haha voted one of the most unreliable cars, thats my only problem ;)

  • @SubiNwoofer Icon? Who the fuck in the world has ever heard of Holden, or even of that shit that australia exports to the americans?!? Go anywhere in Europe, Asia, America, Russia, etc North Pole and ask them to name a few iconic cars: Toyota, Nissan, Ferarri, BMW, Porsche, Ford, etc.

    Holden my ass.......

  • @theredrooter

    what car do you think of when you think of australia?

    i didnt say iconic around the world did i..

  • @theredrooter You know that it is the same chassis and engine as the Pontiac G8 and the Chrysler 300C right? And the same engine as a Corvette? Pontiacs and Chevrolets are not big outside of America either. The Chrysler 300C was the first popular American car we ever got.

  • @cgpilk , Sorry but the G8 shared the same platform with the Holden Commodore, which is GM's Zeta platform. Zeta Platform was first developed by the Holden for the Commodore. Holden also built the G8 and shipped them to the states as Pontiacs. The Zeta platform is used on Vauxhall,and 2010 Camaro.

    The 300C is a LX platform which pulled parts (W220 Mercedes-Benz S-Class.) from it's parent company Mercedes Benz. LX platform also used on the Dodge Charger and Challenger.

  • HSV would have made it's fuel economy better if they were going to make more of the W427. Hsv only made 427 of these which means they were making more of a collector's item and not an everyday car...

  • you guys have not idea there actuly good on fuel all holden v8 are good on fuel 6 gear and 1000rpm holds just over 100kms and it used hardly any fuel were a v6 would be reving like 3-4 thousand and using more fuel v8 are good on fuel on the highways not so goin for little trips thow

  • you blokes are unreal .. typical comments from those who have no freekin idea what it is to afford somthing like this .... not that i am a fan of this car but do you think for one second the people out there that can afford or are interested in this car give a flyin f&^^ck about the fuel acconomy???? get real... YEP was gonna buy a Lambo last week but the fuel economy is just too much??? loosers !!

  • good job copying Evo 7 front bumper. fail.

  • nice car, yes but its just not realistic. i mean the fuel economy would be horrendous, too similar to the R8 (which is half the price) and for $150000 it just isn't worth it.

  • @DirectEditz with that coin your better off with a M5, A8............ya know the rest of em

  • @DirectEditz It's actually good fuel economy.

  • so you rev it and then have to go to the petrol station again?

  • dirty old coon car, got 3 of em in back shed Biggest pieces of SHIT ever

  • This car is totally unoriginal. It looks like an r8 and would handle like one too. Australian super car my ass...A supercar doesn't shit its self when it sees a corner. re design it. Low profile body, new suspension, two doors, and supercharge that 7L engine then maybe you can call it a supercar and justify the 150k price tag. Aussie pride all the way! but seriously, this thing isn't anything to be proud of.

  • @lilbellz87 Just because it's big doesn't mean it cant turn, it was made by people with brains not those fucked in the head yanks.

  • @ozzyguy67 Ya know the Germans use to spout the same shit, always going on about some ring hidden in a forest somewhere? Going on and on about how a car isnt a car until its proven there? So we, the fucked in the head, put in a few laps. we proved what we already knew. Now as far as the holden thing goes maybe GM will keep you alive a little longer maybe not, but that will be decided in Detroit. But you guys with brains needent worry you can find work elsewhere?

  • @ozzyguy67 Those "fucked in the head yanks" kept this pathetic car company alive a lot longer than it should have been.

  • $150,000 for a Holden... lol get the fuck out of here... Give me a Ferrari 360 Modena anyday

  • 150k major rip-off ... if ya want a fast car get a fg xr6t for 40k , spend 3k on it and you will own any car on the road!!!!

  • The Super Clubby is over $50,000 less & outperforms this W427. It's on a Top Gear Australia episode.

  • the walkinshaw r8 is faster, its got 470kw

  • Probably 20L per 100k haha

  • @amesy187 lol. i reckon bit more mate. the ve gts at the moment is about 20/100k. this could most likely be 24/100km mate. 7ltrs is huge. the ve gts walkinshaw is about 20 so probably more. Say goodbye to your savings lOL.

  • @razehey Haha yeah, good reason to get a typhoon :D

  • @amesy187 for sure. buy a typhoon and do it up alittle - keeps up with this 427 and save massive on petrol.

    Or get a gtr r35 or those euro cars ferrari etc....

  • its not W four TWENTY seven, its W four TWO seven

  • @160pitty actually both are correct. He is saying four twenty seven because he is abbreviating fourHUNDREDand twenty seven. As most aussies do.

  • @yippe lol as every english speaking person in the world does i imagine

  • i want one!......NOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW­W!!!

  • 7.0 Litre !! that's a good new for 2011....

  • It gets 100 Miles to the gallon

  • this guy added a 'fullstop' after every few words.

  • does he realise that most HSVs come with 20s now lol

  • @Baird56 do u realise that they come with 22s as an option

  • i used to build those seats ^^

  • It might have a cheap finish ..but who wants expensive upholstery when you keep crapin yer pants!!

  • supercar? this shit is no where near a super car.

  • they should be calling the F6 310 australias first supercar... i mean comeon. who's going to pay 140grand for this when a mild tune and a little tweaking will get you over 340kw's in the f6.. D: including its an Australian motor (Inline 6). wake up to your selves Holden supporters. holden went american 10 or more years ago.

  • @genderbenda04 try more than 10 matey

  • @RobStaniford actually your more than correct tbh. atleast maybe the holden name stays in australia?

  • @genderbenda04 well mate wats the point of that, buyin a new car is exactly that, new... so y bother buyin a shit box f6 if u gotta do work 2 keep up?

  • @maroons1988 thats also the thing though. even by the time you've well passed the w427's amount of power you still have so much cash left over. thats exactly my point. also because its an aussie car (:

  • Beutiful car but the host is bad.

  • THE REASON FORD FANS WATCH HOLDEN VIDEOS:

    Ever heard of keeping your friends close, keep enemies closer?

  • @erniethefart btw...thats a gay saying

  • not bad, but I still like my Chrysler 300c more!

  • check my videos for me idling my w427 and reving it, i shall upload some footage of me burning some rubber in it aswell soon enough :)

  • that car is beautiful

  • Ugly...

  • What's the song called

  • Send me one please : )

  • I wish the would sell Holdens in the US as Holdens.

  • @jandy162 YES! that would fix all the problems. Same goes for the Uk vaexhall or whatever it is.

  • "The HSV W427 - Review"

    Someone should tell these people what a review is about. This was an utter fail.

  • it has 375kw u dick head... get it right

  • ford drivers are poofters hard out!

  • God I wish they brought that thing to the states. The G8s were awesome. Id say put the 7.0 in the GXP version and raise the price more...going from a 6.0 in the GT to a 6.2 in the GXP seemed rather minor for the 5-6K increase in price

  • @CordovaMage The irony is, that any part on the W427 will bolt into a G8. You could build one from a combination of HSV and GM Performance parts.

  • @Mechknight73 HSV stands for Holden Special Vechicals Holden is owned by GM and the Pontiac G8 is a Holden Commodore SS with different styling

  • o yes lol it is phase 5 haha doesnt stop the fact that they will be awesome and holden hasnt been on top, ford will be on top with v8s again finally thats true but this is only holdens answer at actually beating an f6 typhoon a 4l 6 cylinder lol, o and did i mention that this car is way over priced, at the end of the day its still a holden, a rich bogans car lol nothing wrong with that ofcourse its just that your all sticking up for a car that you cant afford to race and beat a ford with

  • @stevothespitfire and until that the holden has the throne. and if you google this 2011 ford, you'll see ford has no plans yet. They contemplated it, but didnt go ahead. Just wheels mag throwing up another rumor.

  • It'd be a great car if it was: a) cheaper (110k for this is reasonable), or b) much, much faster

  • ugly red interior yuck that wrecks it, from the outside looks very nice and im a ford fan, but sorry holden fans you better stop dissing fords coz 2011 there bringing out the 375+ gtho phase 4 so were no way in hell jealous of this car :)

  • @stevothespitfire your no ford fan its the Gtho phase 5 fuck head

  • its been on top gear

  • Red interior....why?

  • usually to review a car you need to drive it

  • It's nice but its just no worth it the price tag. It STILL looks too similar to a commodore. Holden should bring out a sports car that is DIFFERENT to Commodore...

  • they need to have this car on top gear its fucking mad as!!!

  • Mate Just wait for the FPV 5 LITRE GT 370Kw. matee holden eat ittshay.

  • @EfPeVe10 HAHA this car is 427Kw with a 7L engine

    FORD EATS DICK FOR BREAKFAST !!!

  • @charbey,

    It is not 427 kW. It is 375 Kw.

    The "427" refers to the cubic capacity of the engine, 427 cubic inches.

  • @charbey Yeah Boy

  • @charbey you eat dick for breakfast, its 427 cubic inches dumb ass, fords 2011 gtho 375kw+ will leave this car in dust ;)

  • @stevothespitfire and until that the holden has the throne. and if you google this 2011 ford, you'll see ford has no plans yet. They contemplated it, but didnt go ahead. Just wheels mag throwing up another rumor.

  • Holden/chev 4LIFE

    Fuck FORD

  • why pay $160 000 for a crappy bulky car when you could pay $40 000 in USA and buy brand new Ford GT 500?!?!

  • pushrod relic low rev shit a honda 4cyl can rev over ten thousand

  • When FPV starts building a 7.0 litre car then you can call the W427 a heap of shit.

    Until then, shut your mouth.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheFPVking

    no it cant mazdas rotary engine can go to 10,000

  • @TheFPVking ye n blow a piston like ur rubbish shi t cars

  • Let me think...

    A sack of crap Commondore or an M3?

    A pile of turd underpowered 7 liter piece of garbage or a precision 6.2 litre German Autpbarnstormin AMG C63?

    what a joke. Anyone who buys one deserves what they get (or just wait a year and pick one up for 50 grand once it depreciates to all buggery)

  • The Mercedes Benz AMG C63 is only 11 kW more than the HSV GTS, but the Mercedes is $80,000 more.

    $7200 per extra kW. Not real good value.

  • So they put in a bigger engine, some stiffer springs and some lazy half assed styling additions and thats suppose to make the price tag worth it? not in my eyes.

  • Put it this way:

    You live in Australia and you want to buy a new car with a 7.0 litre engine in it. What other option is there?

    $150,000 is a lot for a modified Commodore, but I don't see any sitting in dealerships waiting for people to buy them.

  • limited numbers. only 2 left for sale and they're both in perth. nice cars I see them every day

  • Corvette power???

    It is a GM engine. Not a Corvette engine.

  • @bf6379

    Its a corvette ls7 7litre engine ya muppet, don't you listen?

  • No, I don't listen, because most people speak bullshit.

    The engine is the same as a Corvette engine.

    It is not a Corvette engine, or even an engine from a Corvette.

    The LS series engines are made by GM. They are not made by Chevrolet.

    It would be just as accurate to say "The Corvette Z06 uses a HSV W427 engine".

    Holden/HSV use LS engines in more models than any other GM brand. Everyone should start calling the LS series engines "Holden V8 engines".

  • @bf6379

    "No, I don't listen, because most people speak bullshit."

    Ignorance is bliss

    The LS series is derived from the Corvette engine, so why not use that because it is factual?

    As an answer for you're "It would be just as accurate to say "The Corvette Z06 uses a HSV W427 engine"."

    In your mind it would be easier to say, but you aren't commenting on the video.

    But then again, by the look of your reply, you are argumentative.

  • "The LS series is derived from the Corvette engine, so why not use that because it is factual?"

    That statement is not factual, is is a common myth.

    Are you just another sheep?

  • The LS series is not derived from the Corvette engine.

    Corvettes use LS series engines, not the other way around.

  • cheverlet is the main brand of car yes it is a corvette engine its in the z06.

  • The LS engines are not manufactured by Chevrolet. They are GM engines, manufactured by the GM corporation and used in may different brands of GM cars.

    The Chevrolet Corvette is just one of the cars it is used in.

  • Comment removed

  • BUUUURRRRRMMMMMM!!!

  • yous are idiots. So you judge a car by its power and torque only?

    They don't make a car to go 8secs down the quarter. It gets driven on the bloody street for fuck sake. Geez you winge like girls. If I had 150k to part with i would. I am sure that this would turn your head if it screamed by.

  • LOL WHAT A JOKE!!! ill drop another 10g in my xr6 turbo and have over 400rwkw and get that power for a quarter if not 5th of the price and thats a super car LMAO

  • ohhhh Get a skyline u fag

  • how is it a super car? its big and heavy.

    however it does produce a lot of torque, and although 350 kw is a lot of power, im assuming its not at the wheels when claimed by holden.

  • 350 kw??? Thats pretty shit! (for a car at this price)

  • chuck a supercharger in it take out some shit like the seats the extra tyre carbon fiber make it lighter then u got yourself a car

  • first super car i think not,

    worst car ever produced by HSV

  • shut up fag.

  • hmmm in love!!!

  • @gtofreak04 shut up fag,,, mate this is a 7 liter that only produces 350KW,, BMW has a 4.4 liter that can produce 408KW,,, how can anyone call this a good car...

    not to mention who would pay $150,000 for what can only be described as a Holden!!!

  • The 4.4 litre BMW engine that makes 408 kW is a twin turbo engine. The LS7 in the W427 is normally aspirated.

    A WP supercharged LS3 is 10 kW more than the BMW engine.

    The normally aspirated engine in my car has got 450,000 km on it and it has never had the heads off. Do you think that the BMW engine would last that long?

  • I would spend $150,000 on a locally produced Holden before I would spend $1 on a BMW.

  • They should build another monaro/coupe and slot in the corvette ZR1 engine.

  • now thats a good idea :D

  • The host of this show is a terrible speaker.

  • Not a bad car, but bloody slow for the money.

  • What would be quicker this or the HSV GTS E2 series 2010 model?

  • I would guess that the w427 is quicker as it has more power and torque but the gts is like $70k cheaper.

    $70k could buy alot of mods.

  • i spose HSV W427 wud mean like a 427 chev wudnt it??

  • Why do Ford fans watch a Holden video if they just going to bag it out, Think some people are jalious, because everyone knows that Holden make damn awesome cars.

  • @nathbrunk Everyone with brains knows that Holden’s are hunks of shit generally. Also its jealous, not jalious.

  • @nathbrunk Here in the States all real Americans hate 'Government Motors' right now because of the bailouts they demanded. Ford took no money from the tax payers and is kicking GM's ass right now.

    So us Ford guys are just living it, up and not letting GM guys down play the situation.

  • @nathbrunk yeah

  • @nathbrunk I'm a ford fan, oh and I love my holdens too. I'm stuck in the middle because I own both cars and stick up for both cars when someone bags one of them out, feels like no one likes me lol

  • @trannik

    really, me too. i own both,

    dont mind both,

    they both different and i like them for diffrent reasons.

    why cant everyone be like that. they both good cars. tho i do prefure driving fords becasue they more comfy then holdens roughish ride

  • what the hell 350 hws i thought i was 375kws since a family member builds them in the U.S

  • Move over Shelby,

    This is the new king of Muscle!

  • the 4 door gtr is rumoured to be coming

  • man why take this, nissan GTR would be much better choice, not as ugly and much better tech.

  • the thing is, they arrent in the same class... this is a 4 door sports saloon and the gtr is a straight up sports car...

  • because this isnt a gook pack that appeals to hezbollah graduates and geeky asians like the gtr does.

    Aus makers have car culture.

  • because this isnt a gook pack nissan, that appeals to members of hezbollah (lebs) or geeky asians.

    We have our own car culture here.

    THis ford v Holden arguing is lame.

    the REAL enemy is the Jap crap, argue against them.

  • getting jealous you holden wankers

  • pigs arse dont read go buy and try cheap skate before bitching off like a dumb ass

  • 150k PFFT!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'd rather buy an F6 for 60k then rest on mods....be heaps fkn quicker then this piece of shit

    fkn skips calling it a supercar?????

    go nd get fkd...

  • talk it up as much as you like for that price they can keep it.

  • GAY :)

    GO WINCUP

  • schweppesberry if fords are so slow why havent holden won a v8 supercar race all year you dickhead fords are dominating holdens end of story

  • just a souped up stato really..

  • yummmm nice car man look at all these ford boys on a holden page writing comments about f6's who cares lol go watch f6's videos. good 2 see u ford faggots feel threatened by it. now i can wait for all u ford FAGGOTS to write comments back :)

  • FORD= FOR ONLY RETARDED DRIVERS lol.

  • HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH :D

  • theboxmike you are correct that a stock 427 would betat the F6, but the Ford can up its power by 50% for about 5k - the 427 just does not have the ability to be improved for cheap so not only does the F6 end up hosing Mr 427, he has 70k left in the bank for an XY stroker for the weekends - Holden simply doesn't have that mix and how many bloody SS commodores are there ,,,,,,,,,,,yawn!!

  • Pathetic 1/4 mile times but great roll on performance - just throw a positive displacement blower on a stock GTS with exh and tune and buy a boat with the change!!

  • an FG F6 with a $500 flash box and $300 tune would beat it..

  • Then you would just flash tune the W427 to make it even...

  • haha and it still wouldnt be much faster it need more than that to keep up with an F6...

  • are you joking? Im sorry but im a ford fan but not a delusional one...

    This is an overpriced car for what it is, but it would beat an F6 in a straight-line and kill it on a race track due to much better brakes, tyres and magnetic ride control.

    But for the price the F6 is a much better deal, but don't get delusional

  • im not talking stock vs stock im talking how easily and cheap the F6 or in the other fact XR6T responds to mods of compared to the W427.. of course W427 would win stock but ud hope so.. and if u dont agree than thats ur opinion i kno cus my XR6T is currently running 322rwkws and have spent fuck all on it realy but i kno people so that makes it easier for mods lol..

  • Oh yeah i was never doubting that, of course the F6 Or XR6T is better value for money. I was just trying to state on a fair comparison the W427 is the faster car.

    Then again i would rather the F6E *drool* lmao

  • ford gt40 would kill it

  • How many people does a GT40 seat? and how much space? And how much money did ford spend on the GT40 Devolopment? HSV is a tiny company

  • yer and you forrgot a shit company aswell

  • fuck the cost!! if you love hsv IT DOESNT MATTER!!!!

  • the joss supercar never really got into production, theres probably like 2 prototypes or something

  • I thought the Joss Supercar ("Supercar" is its name of the car Joss Developments made) was the first Australian supercar... Anyhow, this baby is sweet! I just lust at almost every dimension of this car. It looks fantastic with a perfect balance of aggression and style. Maybe something Pontiac could learn from Holden and HSV...

  • aint worth $150.000

  • im even more turned on by this car afer watching this video

  • Anyone else think the presenter is FUKN ANNOYING? I.....can't speak......properly......AARRG­GHHH
