The VT had reintroduced the Commodore as a modern car, and the VX refined it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The HSV VX series, built from 2000 to 2002, laid the groundwork for everything HSV would become in the 2000s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The VX Commodore itself was an evolution of the VT platform, with revised styling, improved suspension geometry, and incremental improvements in build quality and drivability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Holden Special Vehicles, it was an opportunity to take an already solid foundation and sharpen it further. HSV didn\u2019t reinvent the wheel here\u2014they refined it, strengthened it, and gave it more attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The VX HSV range offered a structured lineup that catered to a broad spectrum of buyers, from performance newcomers to hardcore enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The VX HSV generation is particularly important because it fully embraced the new-generation GM V8: the LS1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.7L LS1 V8<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The LS1 was a game-changer for HSV. Producing around 250kW\u2013255kW in early VX HSV tuning, it brought more refinement, better efficiency, and stronger mid-range torque compared to the outgoing 5.0-litre Holden V8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The LS1 was smoother, more flexible, and more responsive across the rev range. It gave the VX HSVs a level of drivability that earlier generations struggled to match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also set the foundation for the later LS2, LS3, and LSA engines that would define HSV for the next decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">tarted perfecting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Interesting Facts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>VX HSV models were among the first to truly show what the LS1 platform could deliver in Australian conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The VX GTS is widely regarded as one of the most balanced early HSV flagship sedans.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wagon variants are now highly sought after due to rarity and practicality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Maloo helped solidify the idea of a high-performance ute as a uniquely Australian phenomenon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Many enthusiasts consider VX HSVs the beginning of HSV\u2019s modern identity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/australianholden.com\/index.php\/australian-holden\/hsv-specifications\/vx-series-hsv\/hsv-vx-clubsport-specifications\/\">VX Clubsport Specifications<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VX Clubsport R8 Specifications (Coming Soon)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/australianholden.com\/index.php\/australian-holden\/hsv-specifications\/vx-series-hsv\/hsv-vx-gts-specifications\/\">VX GTS Specifications<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/australianholden.com\/index.php\/australian-holden\/hsv-specifications\/vx-series-hsv\/hsv-vx-senator-specifications\/\">VX Senator Specifications<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/australianholden.com\/index.php\/australian-holden\/hsv-specifications\/vx-series-hsv\/hsv-vx-senator-300-specifications\/\">VX Senator 300 Specifications<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VU Maloo Specifications (Coming Soon)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VU Maloo R8 Specifications (Coming Soon)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">V2 GTO Coupe Specifications (Coming Soon)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">V2 GTS Coupe Specifications (Coming Soon)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VX Clubsport Specifications VX Clubsport R8 Specifications (Coming Soon) VX GTS Specifications VX Senator Specifications VX Senator 300 Specifications VU Maloo Specifications (Coming Soon) VU Maloo R8 Specifications (Coming Soon) V2 GTO Coupe Specifications (Coming Soon) V2 GTS Coupe Specifications (Coming Soon) By the time the VX Commodore rolled in at the turn of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1531,"menu_order":7,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1598","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
