Description
This guide has been written for the Holden VP series HSV GTS, a limited edition model introduced to compete with high-end touring sedans including at the time the anticipated EB Falcon GT.[1] Classic Register also maintains an unofficial HSV VP GTS register here, and we encourage people to upload their cars, or provide any additional information they may have on the cars listed.
The GTS was based on the Commodore Berlina,[2] which were built in Holden’s Elizabeth plant in South Australia, before being taken off the production line and finished in HSVs Notting Hill plant in Victoria. The GTS inherited many features from the VN Group A SS, and was the most powerful HSV available at the time, with a price tag of $53,750 (AUD) on release.[3] Those specifications have made the GTS a desirable modern classic among early HSVs.
Production period:
Released September 1992 – production ending December 1992.[4]
Production Numbers:
130 individually numbered vehicles were produced.[5] Several pre-production and press vehicles are believed to have been developed, with one example appearing in 'Commodore Crazy Magazine' during the 1990s. Please contact us if you have more information about the pre-production cars, or any further information which could benefit readers of this page.
