1997 Holden / HSV VS GTS-R Replica (Turbocharged V8 / Highly Modified)
(Originally A 1997 Holden VS Commodore Acclaim Sedan)
This 1997 Holden VS Commodore Is Anything But Ordinary. Originally Delivered As A Humble VS Acclaim, It Has Been Transformed Into An Eye-catching Tribute To One Of HSV’s Most Outrageous Creations — The Legendary HSV VS GTS?R. Finished In Unmistakable ‘XU-3 Yellah’, The Car Wears The Full GTS-R Style Body Kit Complete With The Dramatic Rear Wing, Aggressive Front Fascia And Muscular Stance That Made The Original Such An Icon Of Late-90s Australian Performance Culture. Sitting On Oversized 20-inch Tri-spoke Alloy Wheels And Finished With The Signature Yellow Cloth Trim And Devonish-style Seats Inside, The Visual Impact Is Unmistakable.
Step Beyond The Wild Styling And Things Become Even More Serious. Under The Bonnet This Commodore Has Undergone A Complete Mechanical Transformation, Now Powered By A Modern LS V8 Conversion Paired With A Massive Turbocharger. While Exact Output Figures Are Unknown, The Specification Alone Suggests Performance That Would Be Nothing Short Of Formidable. Backing The Engine Is A Heavy-duty Automatic Transmission With A Ratchet Shifter, Reinforcing The Car’s Purpose-built Performance Character And Hinting Strongly At Its Potential As A Street Or Strip Weapon.
The Overall Result Is A Car That Blends The Unmistakable Presence Of The GTS-R Aesthetic With Brutally Modern Performance Hardware. It Captures The Visual Theatre Of The Late-90s HSV Era While Delivering A Mechanical Package Far Beyond Anything Available From The Factory At The Time. Whether Admired For Its Outrageous Styling, Its Custom Engineering, Or Simply The Sheer Attitude It Brings To The Road, This Commodore Stands Out Wherever It Goes.
It Should Be Noted That The Vehicle Is Not Fitted With A Queensland Modification Plate Covering The Engine And Performance Upgrades. As Such, Prospective Buyers Should Make Their Own Enquiries Regarding Engineering And Registration Requirements Applicable In Their State Or Territory. The Vehicle Is Therefore Offered As-is, Untested And Unregistered, Presenting A Unique Opportunity For An Enthusiast, Collector Or Builder Looking For An Unmistakably Bold Australian Performance Project.
