    Walkinshaw Performance Custom E-Series GTS

    Walkinshaw performance have done a custom E-Series GTS. Re-sprayed in Verde Ithaca (Lamborghini Green) and a custom interio to match. The 6.0L LS2 Gen4 pumps out over 370kw and 700Nm, thanks to a supercharger with water to air intercooler running at 7psi and a Walkinshaw Performance exhuast system. The green really suits the GTS.

    i still think the gts is a hideous looking car. mainly because of the rear lights and those stupid overly sized air vents on the side guards and also the front bar with the plastic looking bits.

    Probably one of the most hideous looking things I have ever seen. Click here to enlarge

    Why cannot they make the exterior (and interior for that matter) subtle, and let the engine do all the talking?

    My opinion, and I am sure many would disagree *respect* Click here to enlarge

    Aggressive bodykits are HSV. HSV needed to go all out with the E-Series due to the SS being so 'HSV' looking.

    Umm most probably needed to stop a 370kW, close to 2 tonne car!!!!

    With the rear lights, i think maybe for a Series 2 update, keep the LED circular lights but colour code the rest of the light so all u see are the LEDs, just an idea, thats why these ligths look hot on a black HSV!!!

    Sorry Mat i have to disagree, close mate of mine has a Citric Acid XR6T, and as much as i hate Fords, its a hot looking car, i don't think the Walkinshaw HSV pulls it off!!! The HSV looks alot more aggresive, therefore i reckon a strong red or orange colour would suit it better!!!

    But then again, all to their own!!!

    2nd that. They could have saved a shat load in development costs and just stuck SS-V tail lamps.

    I like that green though, very cool.

    I think the HSV E Series Tail Lamps look great. Finally a HSV That looks different to the commodore. means no more putting a HSV Kit on a SS or V6 Stocker.
