Holden Special Vehicles has
recently introduced its WM Grange, which is a luxury performance limo that
comes with specification and power unmatched in
The new Managing Director of
HSV Scott said that the launch of the all new Grange would provide the company
with fresh sales drive that would shaped up a record year. According to Scott,
"This car will truly build on the outstanding sales success HSV has
enjoyed over the last eight months, since launching the E-series. April was the
company's eighth record month of sales consecutively, with 475 retail
deliveries."
The first four months of 2007
has recorded deliveries of 1,685, which is almost double that of the 2006 and
is definitely way ahead of equivalent figures for 2005.
WM Grange has retained all of the
luxury equipment, features, and accessories even its custom auto floor mats were maintained. The limo has everything
that customers would expect from the top of the range HSV such as dual screen
rear DVD player, tri-zone electronic climate control, parking assist and many
more. Also incorporated in the limo is the performance characteristic that
makes HSV distinct from all others.
Chief Engineer John Clark
supervised the program that transformed the car to one powerful package. John
Clark said, "We focused on enhancing this car, to improve drivability.
Individually calibrated Magnetic Ride Control, an LS2 V8 307kW engine, a
premium HSV four piston brake package and tailored Electronic Stability Control
system, make WM Grange one of our best cars to wear the Lion and Helmet
badge."
Chief Designer Julian Quincey
was responsible for giving the car its distinctive yet subtle HSV design
features. He said, "With Grange, we wanted to offer a car that would be
defined as an Australian `performance and luxury flagship', without any
suggestion of overstating its massive capability. The car has all the sporting
grace of the critically acclaimed Senator Signature with even greater presence.
Unique exterior touches include front fascia, grille, discreet rear spoiler and
rear lower appliqué, while the interior boasts our exclusive steering wheel and
instrumentation. The interior is available in both black and light urban, with
an ambience to match the very best of the Europeans."
The HSV WM Grange is priced at
$82,990, which represents more than an 8 percent reduction on the out-going
model. The limo is available in HSV dealerships across
