HSV VS GTS-R — 1996
Released in 1996, the HSV VS GTS-R was certainly not an HSV designed to blend in.
Finished in the unmistakable XU3 Yellah, the GTS-R combined aggressive HSV styling with 5.0-litre Holden V8 power and became one of the most distinctive performance Holdens of the 1990s.
For buyers wanting something even more special, HSV also offered the famous optional engine blueprinting.
And the attitude didn't stop with the exterior. Inside, the GTS-R featured those unforgettable yellow seat inserts and matching door trim, along with carbon-look detailing — a cabin every bit as bold as the car itself.
Nearly 30 years later, the VS GTS-R remains instantly recognisable and has become one of the most collectible HSVs of its era.
