You know the Vauxhall VXR8? In the domestic Australian market is called the Clubsport HSV R8, and this is the version of the estate: the Clubsport HSV R8 Tourer. HSV Holden Special Vehicles is, and is a Holden (GM's Australian arm) What is the BMW Alpina. HSV is an independent operating Holdens ordinary song, but had access to the car during development. He got a new car from the production line before giving them treatment of HSV.

This includes several unique bodywork, new wheels, brakes, exhaust and suspension tuning. Mechanical make-up of the Clubsport HSV R8 Tourer VXR8 like we have in England; rear-drive chassis powered by a 6.2-liter V8 with 425bhp. Usually, Holden's estate is based on a long wheelbase version of the saloon (Commodore). But this time, Holden wants to feel European in the wagon, so the Tourer approximately the same size as the VXR8 saloon.

It's better than the VXR8. Because the construction work performed after the salon, chassis tweaks are boys more sophisticated; VXR8 it as version 1.1. Which Clubsport R8 Tourer's spring and damper rigid than the saloon because it means to be able to carry heavier loads in well designed, spacious load bay.

Extra capacity does not spoil the trip, though. Clubsport HSV R8 Tourer which is composed both cars with tight body control. This is not so sophisticated in feeling like, say, a Mercedes C63 AMG or BMW M5 Touring, but the R8 Tourer is much cheaper. It's fast and very well balanced too.

It would be better if you can buy one. As the fastest estate car, R8 Tourer Clubsport easily as interesting as the VXR8 salon, but Vauxhall is not officially interested in taking on England (in case it had to end GM's stepped on the European model). There is the possibility to import R8 Tourer although personally. If you do, you will have one of the most charismatic fast about plantations.
