Interested in a 326,000-USD sedan from Australia?

This 2017 Holden HSV GTSR W1 belongs to a series of just 275 units sold in Australia and has only 582 km (362 miles) under its belt, so the seller believes the starting price of 450,000 AUD (around 326,000 USD) is justified.

The W1 modification of the HSV GTSR (see video) packs the 6.2-liter V8 of the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The engine produces a hearty 635 PS (626 hp / 467 kW) and 815 Nm (600 lb-ft) of torque and relies on a special dry-sump system that forced the engineering department to redesign the engine bay from scratch.

The wheels are driven through a six-speed Tremec manual, which offers tightened gear ratios and a disc clutch. All other HSV modifications use different gearboxes, but none of those boxes could stomach the output of this engine, so a Tremec one had to be installed. Elsewhere, the W1 benefits from revised suspension (about twice as stiff) and modified aerodynamics.

This particular vehicle has a serial number 257. The seller claims it will complement any classic muscle car collection perfectly.
