HOLDEN Special Vehicles (HSV) has given its hairy-chested E-Series range a second makeover, this time concentrating on the interior and a range of high-tech driver aids, some of which are toys to add to the fun of HSV ownership, and others, such as the optional blind spot warning system, that are pure safety gold. While power and torque of all models remains unchanged, despite a new challenge from rival Ford Performance Vehicles, the red team has struck a blow for the environment by adding an Australian-first liquid propane injection dual-fuel system that not only saves CO2 and dollars at the bowser, but holds its head high in the performance stakes against pure petrol models.

On the surface, it might not look to be a major makeover, but all added up, it is a worthy improvement that should engage HSV fans.
