When a collision is predicted, the driver is alerted with an audible tone and a visual alert in the Head-Up Display. Anticipating hard braking, the system applies sufficient brake pressure to close the space between the brake pads and rotors, thus delivering a quicker brake response time. Lane departure warning alerts the driver to any unintentional lane departures with an audible sound and warning indicator. Rain sensing wipers are a convenience feature in that the windscreen wipers will operate when water is detected on the windscreen without the driver having to manually operate them.
The Hill start assist system assists in preventing rollback when taking off, when the vehicle is on an incline or decline when reversing. With all this power comes the need for massive amounts of air cooling. To assist with this, the ClubSport R8 LSA is fitted with a stacked plate engine oil cooler and a stand-alone water-to-air charge-air cooling system.
With a larger rear brake disc, to accommodate all of that power from the supercharged LSA engine, this brake package offers an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio along with superior brake feel and performance. The ContiSportContact 5P tyres, custom tuned for the HSV range, provide superior levels of ride quality and road grip in both dry and wet weather conditions. Torque Vectoring uses the ESC system to detect when the vehicle is starting to understeer, and helps correct it.
The system operates by transferring torque across the rear axle from the inside wheel to the outside wheel. This is accomplished by braking the inside wheel and adding torque, through increased engine power, to the outside wheel. Launch Control provides the vehicle with the ability to accelerate, from standstill, at its maximum potential by managing engine torque and wheel-slip ratios.
For an increase in brake application response, combined with greater stopping power, you can opt for the impressive AP Racing 6-piston brake package with 2-piece front and rear rotors. Not available with Slipstream, Phantom or Nitrate paint finishes. Note: Tyre Pressure Monitor is not available on the temporary spare wheel. ABS reduces wheel lock under heavy braking situations by momentarily releasing brake pressure at the wheels required.
This improves stopping distances on most surfaces, improves braking efficiency and enables better steering in demanding braking conditions.
If loss of traction occurs, ESC activates to apply brake pressure to individual wheels and, if necessary, reduces engine power. In emergency braking situations, few people apply the required pressure to the brake pedal. If it were my money, though, I'd pass on the GTS, opt for a Clubsport R8 with leather seats and the optional inch wheels and pocket the difference.

However, the best parts of the new HSV E Series Clubsport R8 aren't all on the outside, the new redesigned centre console looks fantastic with three gauges consisting of an oil temprature, pressure and battery voltage guage. Last few years a great deal of criticism has gone HSVs way for producing tacky and cheap interiors, and whilst I haven't exactly sat in the new R8, from all the interior photos, I am rather impressed!
So there you have it folks. HSV have made a car faster than an M3! Bring it on! Alborz Fallah. View 2 images. Previous View 2 images. Close Thumbnail View.
