This E-Series Holden HSV W427 is a particularly rare limited-edition flagship high-performance sedan, offered for sale with a single private owner from new and just running-in mileage. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 7.0-litre (427-cubic inch) LS7 V8, delivering 375kW to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. First registered in February 2009, this example has had a single private owner from new. This E-Series HSV W427 is number 87 of only 137 examples built, of which just 29 were specified in Sting Red. The odometer shows a mere 1,769 Kms from new. Based on the VE-generation Holden Commodore, the HSV W427 was a limited-edition flagship variant of the HSV E Series range, which was released in celebration of the marque’s 20th anniversary in 2008. 427 examples were originally intended to be built, though the final number produced was just 137. The sought-after limited-edition model features a number of desirable factory upgrades, including the 7.0-litre LS7 V8 engine, a redesigned front bumper and grille, recalibrated Magnetic Ride Control, stiffer suspension settings, a strengthened gearbox, a new exhaust system, larger six-piston brake callipers, and a strengthened limited-slip differential. This example is finished in the bold shade of Sting Red with a gloss-black front grille section, front bumper inserts, boot lip spoiler, and rear diffuser, over a black and red cabin, featuring red leather upholstery, embroidered ‘W427’ emblems on the seat backs, and satin-silver, satin-gunmetal, and carbon-fibre trim. It rides on a set of 20-inch twin five-spoke alloy wheels, framing red W427-branded brake callipers and fitted with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tyres. Equipment includes rear parking sensors, xenon headlights, cruise control, a central Blaunpunkt media system with satellite navigation, automatic air conditioning, switchable traction control, switchable damper ‘track’ mode, upper dashboard battery voltage, oil temperature, and oil pressure gauges, and electrically adjustable front seats. The car comes with the HSV build certification plaque, a copy of Wheels magazine, and a HSV-branded numberplate cover. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition.
