Executive Summary
AutoExec Summary
The Holden Special Vehicles GTSR W1 prototype, one of four development cars, was sold at auction for $253,500, falling short of the record price. This unique ‘Jungle Fever’ green car with a supercharged 6.2-litre LS9 V8 engine producing 474kW and 815Nm was a powerful Australian model. Despite being lower than other sales of the same model, this prototype with 18,620km on the clock came with a certificate of authenticity and all owner books and keys. The auction listing highlighted its unique paint colour and its previous listing for a higher price, suggesting that the $253k paid was a bargain.
