This VE-generation Holden HSV Clubsport R8 Tourer is a powerful high-performance estate, fitted with a few subtle modifications. Power comes from a tuned 6.2-litre ‘LS3’ V8, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Based on the Sportwagon, the Clubsport Tourer is an estate version of the R8, capable of launching from 0-100 km/h in 5.8 seconds and reaching a top speed of 257 km/h. The odometer shows 181,823 km. Build number 0162, this Clubsport R8 Tourer is finished in Phantom, over a black leather interior with white stitching, including ‘Clubsport’ lettering on the head restraints, as well as white instrument dials. It rides on a set of 20-inch ‘Pentagon’ magnesium wheels, framing red brake callipers and wrapped in Kinforest tyres. Equipment includes a multifunction steering wheel, a central infotainment system with navigation, a Blaupunkt stereo with AUX and six-CD changer, automatic air conditioning, and rear park distance control with reversing camera. The exhaust now features straight pipes, though the original mufflers can be included in the sale. A Walkinshaw bonnet has also been fitted. Accompanying the vehicle will be the original owner’s handbook, its Oztrack documents, two keys, a spare wheel, a collection of receipts, a dynamometer test result sheet, and a recent pre-sale inspection checklist. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: scratches in the top coat on the side panels; a small dent on the right side of the boot; slight discolouration of the right-side light cover; loose stitching on the steering wheel and around the front-left interior door handle. The seller notes that the previous owner completed a dynamometer test, which showed an output of 301kW. A new cam was installed, and the engine was tuned. A pre-sale check was completed in April 2024 at 181,746 km by Central East Mechanical. The most recent service was completed in 2020, which included replacement of the engine oil, gearbox oil, spark plugs, alternator and fuel injectors. During the seller’s ownership, the oxygen sensors, window moulds, airbag pretensioners, tyres and ignition leads have been replaced. A new high-pressure air conditioning hose and service port valve have been fitted, and the system has been re-gassed. This VE-generation Holden HSV Clubsport R8 Tourer is a lightly modified example of the powerful high-performance estate, with a straight-pipe exhaust and a Walkinshaw bonnet. Benefitting from a recent pre-sale check with Central East Mechanical, it would make a potent yet entirely practical daily driver, and a desirable addition to any collection.
