@@Vacublaster1 I know your comment is old but technically its the Aussies gov fault for making everything so expensive. GM was making no money in the end and that is the point of a company.

Raf Tash I'm already guilty of pulling over cars I like. When the gen f 2 SS came out I made an effort of catching one to get a closer look, asked for a bit of a rev and wasn't disappointed.
I love this review mate. I have a 2007 VE V8 CALAIS that went through the HSV workshop and is now a HSVi [HOLDEN SPECIAL VEHICLE INDIVIDUAL]. I've just posted a comment on DOUG DEMURO's review of a VF SS stating that he is so wrong in many of the assumption comments that he had made in relation to the VF COMMODORE. The HSV was [to my knowledge] not ever exported to the USA, they lost out! Thanks for taking the time to compile and post. I'm still very sad that HOLDEN are now no longer with us here in Australia. DM.
Guess what all you haters, just because someone has this, and you do not, or you prefer something else, does not mean you automatically must hang shit on it. This is a motor vehicle, not a tribe, creed or other species. You are allowed to like more than one consumer product, there is no law that says otherwise.
Bro.. it's UA-cam.. expect hate.. p.s holdens are land-boats.. p.p.s where's the law saying you can't talk shit about a car on UA-cam? You contradicted yourself lol.
You're bitching about people having a go at a car basically saying how dare you hate on a car as if no one should hate on a car (even though it is a piece of shit), then say we can like more than one car there's no law against it.. like it's impossible for people to hate a holden at the same time they like other cars that aren't holdens? Moral of all this, holdens are shit.. :)
Hi tME explain to me exactly why you dislike this particular car, having never driven one. Also please tell me what you drive. I have no preferences, and am not really worried about or impressed by any make or model. I am just interested as to what position you wish to push your agenda from.
Look @ it mate.. it's a fucking boat on land.. haha.. my personal opinion is that it looks awful, sounds awful, way the fuck overpriced considering what else is available for the insane price tag they put on it.. just one nasty package haha.. also orange? Really... :| I push my "agenda" from my fingers to the keyboard, just like everyone else on the internet. Why you feel so upset that people hate on this car that you had to post a comment about it is showing how butt hurt you got over it.. people can hate a holden and like other cars?? Also just looked up its 0-100.. 4.1 seconds!! For what 180k/200k+ AUD in a 636hp 6.2L v8 car??? Sorry but that is fucking retarded.. that alone speaks for itself as to why this car is trash.
You saved the best until the very end but i think it would have done the same thing in second gear. I am going to miss high powered manual transmission cars like this that's for sure.
Love the comment “ when the car industry was booming to 25 years later being the last one on the roads “....well done Australia, bloody good job of looking after your own and caring about the world last. we now have no more Holden’s or Fords......just 25 years later....when the motoring industry is no longer booming, but the figures our last Holden puts out, are more impressive to talk about.
I've been saying this since 2006, that this fat, oversized shit box with an ass the size of an elephant is going to send the company broke and I was laughed all along, nobody believed me. And stupid people kept buying it. And when the Station Wagon was released shortly (a barge that looked more like a hearse than a car), I couldn't believe how anyone ever considered that to be a family car. But the Generals continued production for 10 years and no change in chassis design (a more family oriented car than a sporty bullshit, as if everyone is a racing driver), it finally led people to realised what an ugly car it was, especially when most of these cars came with expensive add-ons, e.g. sporty wheels and low profile tyres that did not cushion the impact enough when hitting the kerb or the raised edge of driveways, etc., you couldn't go fast in driveways for fear that the wheel rims would pinch the tyres and blow them or, worse still, crack the rims as well. I think John Cadogan made a video about these wheels, low profile tyres and cracked rims. Instead, GMH continued to push out not only an ugly large model but also an unroadworthy and unsafe model with illegal features, including illegal and dangerously unsafe, super bright, torch-like halogen headlights that later were fitted with increased light intensity of the new LEDs technology behind a magnifying glass that boosted enough lumens capable of releasing out a brightness responsible for causing eye halo and temporary blindness, as these had no anti-glare protection. You call that a safe car? You must be on drugs if you think this shit box is/was safe. As an ex motor mechanic/engineer of 43 years, having done roadworthy tests since '73, I would well and truly not have passed this car. We had better vehicle safety regulations back then. But, nowadays all the illegal shit is added to cars, including thin indicating lights that are hard to see in some cars during a sunny afternoon day (as if everyone wants to own a KITT, the car from the TV series, Knight Rider? And people are always stubborn when it comes to safety. They will only wake up when they have a serious and unexpected accident. I thought only sheep are stupid, but WTF... humans?
good looking car... other than those fixed bumper chrome exhaust tip...although its nothing an aftermarket system cant fix, manufactures need to stop it now :P
Check Vadim Dales UA-cam channel. He has a 2015 Holden in America. It's a stunning example of a Holden Abroad. USA should have got the option to order these W1's, unbelievable car. Shame and a sin that Holden was shut down.
@caradvice kindly tell me that they shelved the idea to discontinue making these vehicles? i need one please, can i get 2nd hand one at least? im in Africa, Botswana to be exact.
Nothing wrong with the electric steering it is cheaper to fix than hydraulic steering I looked at prices for my Caprice the rack with the motor is cheaper brand new than a reconditioned change over hydraulic and if something goes wrong you still have conventional non power steering
Mark Irwin You’re fucking kidding me. The only thing American in the hsv is the engine. Australia built the rest. +NextGen AM just because the engine is American doesn’t mean it is bloody American. Aussie have built engine before and made the best inline 6 the Barra
Youre all idiots. Holden designed the 5th gen camaro as well if you didnt know. Its a team effort. They made many great cars. GM is making money off their designs. I dont know who exactly contributed to the engine design but the L76 and L77 are 6.0 LS motors that are a better version than the LS2 and are in only Holdens. During the economic decline in America Holden was still kicking strong. GM was on their knees asking Holden to design the new camaro
It’s a nice car but is it really worth ten times what a vxr8 Bathurst s would be to buy?? U could buy a mint Bathurst s with 560 bhp and get it tuned by monkfish to the same spec as The w1 for £50000 all in. That’s what I would do. And the Bathurst s is a nicer car.

This is nothing compared to being strapped to the outside of a Rhino with the 2 GE 414s screaming true terror through you're body! But that's a bloody nice car.
Some one pass me a tissue. Why don't vauxhall put the same engine in the vxr8 gts-r? The best car at any price on sale today, and unlike other more expensive stuff it's got a manual gear box. And 636 bhp. Enough said.
It's sad these W1's are now sitting under sheets in the owners garages to scared to take them out and put km on them. When cars become investments it takes all the fun out of motoring!
There is no such thing as *insert name of a country* cars. All of them are made in all over the world. General motors have been all over the world as long as I can remember. Identity of Opel (Vauxhall in UK) and Holden have kept quite well, even though GM parts are all over in every brand cars they make. Parts and pieces for them have been designed god knows where and by who. What I can say is... there wouldn't been RWD four door saloon cars with powerful V8's in them without Aussies. The mighty V8 supercar series is the most aussie thing ever, and the cars have always been based on those cool v8 saloon production cars. Vauxhall VXR's, Pontiac GTO's (Holden brand in us) would not have been there without Aussie craze for these cars... and making them. If GM has a very good simple and powerful V8 engine... who cares what cars use it... let's just slap that under the hood of Holden. That's what I would do.
Mishbenz i’m 2 years late, but mate it’s got an LS9 motor in it which is a Chevy Motor and Chevy is American. So yes it factually does have one of them “American piece of shit motors” as you called it, powering it.
That info is not correct, HSV will not be the last vehicle manufacturer in Australia, Thales has a production line in Bendigo making the Hawkeye military vehicle
Just a look at how piss poor their build quality is and that it doesn't seperate between Holden and hsv look closely at the quarter panel indicator at 2:15 and you'll see that a car that's not even been sold yet has already got condensation.....glorified ss is all this is,waste of fuckin money
Ferne Taylor bro the build quality is far better than that American shit. Plus it doesn’t have a reputation of killing people on sight. It’s expensive cause it’s a collectors item.
As much as id love this, i could have my dream R34 GTR with all the work done to it i could want and still have a few bucks left over for the price their asking.
I have a 2011 Camaro SS 6 sp manual ls3 24,000 orig miles. Lysholm Supercharged 610 BHP 660 torque all that with only 9 pnds of boost. Total cost to build $21,900 American. Car was $15,000 twin screw SC kit minus tune $5,500 dyno tune $500 give or take and the rest odds and ends AEM meth inj kit 160 thermostat, oil, coolant etc etc. Only REGRET is leaving factory clutch. Point is you can BUILD EXACTLY what you want for 1/10th cost of BUYING what they want to give you. And get the PRIDE of knowing that's YOUR creation. AS I CHUCK A ROD AND SCATTER THE INTERNALS OF MY BELOVED LS3 ALL OVER THE STREET AND MY WIFE SCREAMS I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO IN MY EAR. That hasn't happened YET but her and I both know everytime I rev her 7, 8 thousand rpm or my occasional missed 3rd gear shift were that much closer to her time to shine. Maybe my BLWN LS3 vanity plates were a mistake? Shh she is comming down the stairs. I gotta go she can sence my happiness from miles away. nevermind false alarm. She says I'm only ever happy if I'm racing or introducing other chicks to King Twopumpchump (she named my weiner) but she always says I'm too ugly to cheat so I'm always accused of racing. Even when I was screwing her sister or her yoga instructor. That fat bitch Brenda from her book club who could blow ya so good it will make you wanna slap someone in the face. (I slapped her on the face while I was finishing once that's how I know.) Never heard from her again after they for some reason. OH and the one chick Hazel AKA my wife cant stand at our local Dunkin Donuts because she is a "Nose Breather"(she needs to breath somehow when King Twopumpchump is in her mouth cuz its hard to hold your breath for 35 sec at time) my wife also tells me and her friends mines too small. Funny because when we met she told me 3.25 inches erect was slightly ABOVE avg! Im a grower not a shower! I told her if she lets me give it to her 3 times in a row it's only 12 sec or 6 pumps she is getting the total sum of a GLORIOUS 9.75 inches of Twopump. And IF she would practice more MAYBE she could hang I cant help I beat her at sex EVERYTIME. I try to lose and still beat her. Is really bad I'm so good at running my wiener in her track I'm doing one 4 sec lap but that's all I can handle it takes everything I got to go that fast. She gave my dong the cutist name King twopumpchump. I love that name it should be on a tshirt. My car is fast my wiener is fast and my 16 year old supervisor at the Mc Donald's I have worked at for 19 years says im the fastest burger flipper and nugget dipper she has ever seen. I would have to say to hear such an intelligent person with such a prestigious position of Assistant to the Assistant Associate Vice President in Charge of all Assistant Food Prep And Bathroom Attendance Assistant Manager. It only took her 3 months too. I been here 19 years and they are JUST now allowing me to work the drive through taking orders. The 2 owners Phil Mianus and his Assistant the allways wonderful Heywood Jabloemi (I think they do things to each other fuity things) They are partners and owners of another buisness and Tell me that I'm Destined to be Head Manager in charge of clean up and fluffing? (I'm assuming its pillow fluffing it's a motel that does hourly rentals for people who want to take mid day naps and such.) Anyway Head Manager in charge of clean up and fluffing at there club in the BASEMENT of there small 10 room motel called "DA 19TH GLORY HOLE" they also own a Males only all singles golf course for young up and comming buisness men can mingle and meet other like minded successful buisness men. They built DA 19TH GLORY HOLE at the backside of the 18th hole hoping to draw more customers in. It's a great place to get away from Hazel hit a few balls have a couple Hot Totties maybe a sex on the beach or as they call it sex in the 12th hole sand trap. Which I hear has happened several times in the past week alone. They must be sneaking there wives in because it's an all male club 2 dudes are not compatible like putting diesel fuel in your gas car or antifreeze in Hazel's bedtime apple sauce for the past 20 years then realizing its nontoxic and environmentally safe. OH WHO THE FUCK AM I KIDDING I LIKE TO HAVE SEX WITH OTHER MEN IM GAY THERE I HAVE SAID IT I LOVE DICK IN MY MOUTH! just dont tell Hazel after all it is cheaper to keep her.
So this is meant to b Australia's fastest ever built factory car so I'm guessing HSV an everyone else has forget bout Dick Johnsons 800hp Fpv GT F police car
I'm a Ford man but it looks nice but I prefer the old school Holdens instead slr5000 xu1 xu2 torana the monaro gts vl Calais turbo I prefer those then the new Holdens I'm old school all the way if I had to choose a Holden it would old school monaro torana or the vl Calais I would be proud to own one of those beasts I'm a Ford man 👍
What's the bet it won't even dyno 350kw ATW, hsv always over ratting thier cars , ford on the other hand 355kw dynos at 330kw ATW LOL while the gts 430 is lucky to dyno at 320kw ATW, Watch wheels magazine do a test on them it's on UA-cam
you do realize the Gts has a bigger stronger 9.9" diff with bigger stronger driveshafts. that tends to sap power. And dyno numbers are for bragging at the pub at the track the standard Gts still belts every single falcon ever.
patrick balagtas You were right. It makes about 337kw from factory. Incredibly underwhelming performance for the price. Big difference to their apparent power figure also.
Torq makes speed not hp kid. The potential of the LS is why everyone is converting them into there jdms, only the 2jz and rbs are alive the rest are debatable
Not even close to the fastest. Quickest, maybe. The fastest Australian stock road-going production car still to this day is the Schuppan 962CR (370 km/h).
As of purchase prices.... One of these $175 K..... Ford Falcon GT-F around $80 K.. The Falcon is nearly as quick , twice as good looking ..The W1 is a great car but not maybe not as stand out as this review claims ...
will i get citizenship if i buy this car?
only if you are able to shotgun a VB while wearing a Bintang singlet mate.
Honorary citizenship mate! Certainly closer in the queue.

Vauxhall VXR's, Pontiac GTO's (Holden brand in us) would not have been there without Aussie craze for these cars... and making them. If GM has a very good simple and powerful V8 engine... who cares what cars use it... let's just slap that under the hood of Holden. That's what I would do.
Mishbenz i’m 2 years late, but mate it’s got an LS9 motor in it which is a Chevy Motor and Chevy is American. So yes it factually does have one of them “American piece of shit motors” as you called it, powering it.
That info is not correct, HSV will not be the last vehicle manufacturer in Australia, Thales has a production line in Bendigo making the Hawkeye military vehicle
You should do this versus the Cadillac CTS V
Omar Nuñez we don't have those in Australia.
@@Camhin1 Can you at least import one?
Looks like Golden is coming three with the v8 sedans
looks quite nice!
Soooo a Z06 SS 👀
God bless Aussie muscle cars
Are you driving around Moe?
A dirty big super supercharger YEAH BOI
the "slang" was cringe worthy, you could of made this review epic, a swan song to aussie motoring.
Those brakes are huge
Just a look at how piss poor their build quality is and that it doesn't seperate between Holden and hsv look closely at the quarter panel indicator at 2:15 and you'll see that a car that's not even been sold yet has already got condensation.....glorified ss is all this is,waste of fuckin money
Ferne Taylor bro the build quality is far better than that American shit. Plus it doesn’t have a reputation of killing people on sight. It’s expensive cause it’s a collectors item.
Why say stoppers? They are simply breaks.
or even brakes...
It’s Aussie slang
As much as id love this, i could have my dream R34 GTR with all the work done to it i could want and still have a few bucks left over for the price their asking.
true, but you're missing the point - this is the fastest and last of its kind in Australia...plus it's a limited edition with THAT name...
If only you could do that today 😂
@@eshanmirash2456 Yeah no kidding!! Talk about a 200% price increase at a minimum!
Should have had a Repco engine.
hahahaha driving that around moe! XD

Ol moetown mate
I have a 2011 Camaro SS 6 sp manual ls3 24,000 orig miles. Lysholm Supercharged 610 BHP
660 torque all that with only 9 pnds of boost. Total cost to build $21,900 American. Car was $15,000 twin screw SC kit minus tune $5,500 dyno tune $500 give or take and the rest odds and ends AEM meth inj kit 160 thermostat, oil, coolant etc etc. Only REGRET is leaving factory clutch. Point is you can BUILD EXACTLY what you want for 1/10th cost of BUYING what they want to give you. And get the PRIDE of knowing that's YOUR creation. AS I CHUCK A ROD AND SCATTER THE INTERNALS OF MY BELOVED LS3 ALL OVER THE STREET AND MY WIFE SCREAMS I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO IN MY EAR. That hasn't happened YET but her and I both know everytime I rev her 7, 8 thousand rpm or my occasional missed 3rd gear shift were that much closer to her time to shine. Maybe my BLWN LS3 vanity plates were a mistake? Shh she is comming down the stairs. I gotta go she can sence my happiness from miles away. nevermind false alarm. She says I'm only ever happy if I'm racing or introducing other chicks to King Twopumpchump (she named my weiner) but she always says I'm too ugly to cheat so I'm always accused of racing. Even when I was screwing her sister or her yoga instructor. That fat bitch Brenda from her book club who could blow ya so good it will make you wanna slap someone in the face. (I slapped her on the face while I was finishing once that's how I know.) Never heard from her again after they for some reason. OH and the one chick Hazel AKA my wife cant stand at our local Dunkin Donuts because she is a "Nose Breather"(she needs to breath somehow when King Twopumpchump is in her mouth cuz its hard to hold your breath for 35 sec at time) my wife also tells me and her friends mines too small. Funny because when we met she told me 3.25 inches erect was slightly ABOVE avg! Im a grower not a shower! I told her if she lets me give it to her 3 times in a row it's only 12 sec or 6 pumps she is getting the total sum of a GLORIOUS 9.75 inches of Twopump. And IF she would practice more MAYBE she could hang I cant help I beat her at sex EVERYTIME. I try to lose and still beat her. Is really bad I'm so good at running my wiener in her track I'm doing one 4 sec lap but that's all I can handle it takes everything I got to go that fast. She gave my dong the cutist name King twopumpchump. I love that name it should be on a tshirt. My car is fast my wiener is fast and my 16 year old supervisor at the Mc Donald's I have worked at for 19 years says im the fastest burger flipper and nugget dipper she has ever seen. I would have to say to hear such an intelligent person with such a prestigious position of Assistant to the Assistant Associate Vice President in Charge of all Assistant Food Prep And Bathroom Attendance Assistant Manager. It only took her 3 months too. I been here 19 years and they are JUST now allowing me to work the drive through taking orders. The 2 owners Phil Mianus and his Assistant the allways wonderful Heywood Jabloemi (I think they do things to each other fuity things) They are partners and owners of another buisness and Tell me that I'm Destined to be Head Manager in charge of clean up and fluffing? (I'm assuming its pillow fluffing it's a motel that does hourly rentals for people who want to take mid day naps and such.) Anyway Head Manager in charge of clean up and fluffing at there club in the BASEMENT of there small 10 room motel called "DA 19TH GLORY HOLE" they also own a Males only all singles golf course for young up and comming buisness men can mingle and meet other like minded successful buisness men. They built DA 19TH GLORY HOLE at the backside of the 18th hole hoping to draw more customers in. It's a great place to get away from Hazel hit a few balls have a couple Hot Totties maybe a sex on the beach or as they call it sex in the 12th hole sand trap. Which I hear has happened several times in the past week alone. They must be sneaking there wives in because it's an all male club 2 dudes are not compatible like putting diesel fuel in your gas car or antifreeze in Hazel's bedtime apple sauce for the past 20 years then realizing its nontoxic and environmentally safe. OH WHO THE FUCK AM I KIDDING I LIKE TO HAVE SEX WITH OTHER MEN IM GAY THERE I HAVE SAID IT I LOVE DICK IN MY MOUTH! just dont tell Hazel after all it is cheaper to keep her.
I'll take one!
I think I'd just buy the standard GTS for a lot cheaper thanks
So this is meant to b Australia's fastest ever built factory car so I'm guessing HSV an everyone else has forget bout Dick Johnsons 800hp Fpv GT F police car
Can i buy one Paddy?
I'm a Ford man but it looks nice but I prefer the old school Holdens instead slr5000 xu1 xu2 torana the monaro gts vl Calais turbo I prefer those then the new Holdens I'm old school all the way if I had to choose a Holden it would old school monaro torana or the vl Calais I would be proud to own one of those beasts I'm a Ford man 👍
Is it just me or does it look like a modified Pontiac G8?
What's the bet it won't even dyno 350kw ATW, hsv always over ratting thier cars , ford on the other hand 355kw dynos at 330kw ATW LOL while the gts 430 is lucky to dyno at 320kw ATW,
Watch wheels magazine do a test on them it's on UA-cam
you do realize the Gts has a bigger stronger 9.9" diff with bigger stronger driveshafts. that tends to sap power. And dyno numbers are for bragging at the pub at the track the standard Gts still belts every single falcon ever.
patrick balagtas You were right. It makes about 337kw from factory. Incredibly underwhelming performance for the price. Big difference to their apparent power figure also.
@@joshg6et98it made over 380 kW at the tyres from factory you clown

Wish the us had holdens
they do but they're rebadged as chevrolets, though they're very rare and aren't made anymore since holden is defunct
This car needs to be added to Forza Horizon 5
no doubt, would be great to chop M5s and AMGs at the festival drag strip
it passed the burnout test best car....
My 4 banger with an lsd passes the burnout test
Easily the slowest 500hp+ car in the world
Torq makes speed not hp kid. The potential of the LS is why everyone is converting them into there jdms, only the 2jz and rbs are alive the rest are debatable
@Ruby Lee lol! F1? Ahahahaha bugatti? Hahaha we build cars that hit 240mph in the 1\4 european cars are trash. BBC and hemi are running the show.
@Ruby Lee 8.5 sec in the 1/4 @ 161mph yesterday on asphalt with 150kms on the clock and driving myself to the track. try again old boy.

Cheapest W1 is 230
AICH not HAICH
Moe represent!
I like the look of the early Commodore's from '96 to 2003. They have nice lines but the recent ones are but ugly like a pit bull.
Not even close to the fastest. Quickest, maybe. The fastest Australian stock road-going production car still to this day is the Schuppan 962CR (370 km/h).
good car to buy!
Love it
Weighs less than a CTSV, it will give a hellcat a run for its money.
why o why didn't they pay homage to the original and make them yellow!! 😐
180k?
tv chanell?
As of purchase prices.... One of these $175 K..... Ford Falcon GT-F around $80 K.. The Falcon is nearly as quick , twice as good looking ..The W1 is a great car but not maybe not as stand out as this review claims ...
2018 mustang is making them both look sad. It smacks the new W1 silly.
