	HSV was created in 1987 as a joint venture between Holden and [[Tom Walkinshaw Racing\|TWR]] - an operation owned by Scottish [[racing car]] driver and entrepreneur [[Tom Walkinshaw]]. HSV effectively replaced the [[Holden Dealer Team]] (HDT) special vehicles operation run by [[Peter Brock]], after Holden severed its ties with HDT in February 1987 following the "Energy Polarizer" and "HDT Director" controversies. With the more recent demise of TWR's global companies, HSV still remains a partnership between Holden and Walkinshaw, the joint ownership company being Premoso Pty Ltd.

With the more recent demise of TWR's global companies, HSV still remains a partnership between Holden and Walkinshaw, the joint ownership company being Premoso Pty Ltd.

	The first car produced by HSV was the [[Holden VL Commodore SS Group A SV]] in 1988 (based on the [[Holden VL Commodore\|VL Commodore]] and not to be confused with the HDT's similarly named Holden VL Commodore SS Group A). It had a distinctive body kit with a large rear wing (earning it the nicknames "The [[Batmobile]]" and the "Plastic Pig") and was powered by a modified version of the Holden 5.0 litre V8, which had dual throttle body [[electronic fuel injection]] and was rated at 180 kW in road car form. It was built as a [[touring car racing\|touring car]] [[homologation]] package for Group A racing and in racing form, managed to win the 1990 [[Bathurst 1000]] race in the hands of [[Allan Grice]] and [[Win Percy]] for HSV's racing arm, the [[Holden Racing Team]].

	Over the years HSV have built an array of modified vehicles, most of which have been based on the [[Holden Commodore\|Commodore]] and powered by either [[Holden]] or [[Chevrolet]] sourced [[V8]]s. Notable HSV models include the [[SS Group A]] (both the 1988 VL and 1990 VN [[Holden Commodore\|Commodore]] versions), the [[SV 5000]], [[HSV Clubsport\|Clubsport]], [[HSV Senator\|Senator]], [[HSV GTS\|GTS]], [[HSV GTS-R\|GTS-R]], [[XU6]] and the [[HSV Grange\|Grange]]. Prior to the introduction of Fords FG FPV Falcons, the 2006 HSV GTS was the most powerful production vehicle in Australia, producing 307~~&nbsp~~;kW from its 6.0-litre [[Chevrolet]] V8, and can produce claimed 0-100 km/h times of 5.2 seconds, and 13.5 second 0-400 metre sprints.[http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=19402]		Over the years HSV have built an array of modified vehicles, most of which have been based on the [[Holden Commodore\|Commodore]] and powered by either [[Holden]] or [[Chevrolet]] sourced [[V8]]s.

	Since the year 2000, HSV's products have progressively found their way into export markets in limited numbers, most notably to the United Kingdom. Also, recently in 2007, HSV celebrated it's 20th Anniversary with the limited release of 100 Clubsport R8 20th Anniversary Edition. This anniversary edition was followed by the HSV move into the Middle Eastern market as [[Chevrolet]] Special Vehicles (CSV) with the [[HSV Clubsport\|CSV CR8]]		Since the year 2000, HSV's products have progressively found their way into export markets in limited numbers, most notably to the United Kingdom.

	The VL SS Group A SV was HSV's first production model. Developed under contract to Holden, it was released in March 1988. Modifications were made to the standard Holden 5.0 litre V8 to produce 180~~&nbsp~~;kW @ 5200 rpmand 380 Nm @ 4000 rpm. Best known for the polarising body kit and bluish-silver colour, the VL Group A SS was also the first model to feature a fuel-injected version of the Holden V8, with the first [[Fuel injection\|EFI]] VN Holden Commodore V8s not released until August 1988. The SV88 model was based on the VL Holden Calais and used a [[carburetor\|carburetored]] version of the V8 producing 136~~&nbsp~~;kW.		The VL SS Group A SV was HSV's first production model.

An all-new Holden Commodore chassis, known as the VE was unveiled in July 2006. Following this, a new range of "E" Series HSV models were released in August 2006.

	Changes to the exhaust system yielded a 10 kW increase in power (see below) for the [[GM LS engine#LS2\|LS2]] to 307 kW. Extensive modifications to the base VE Commodore sheetmetal and interior were introduced, most notably the unique LED tailights and distinctive side vents. The new [[GM 6L80 transmission\|GM 6L80-E]] 6 speed [[automatic transmission]] from the VE Commodore is offered, and [[Electronic Stability Control]] is standard on all models.

Manual models get an ''M10 Tremec T56'' which has better gear selecting accuracy.

	The GTS and Senator Signature additionally feature switchable [[MagneRide\|Magnetic Ride Control]] to improve ride and handling. As such, the E series represents HSV's most expensive model developments in its history [http://www.carpoint.com.au/print.aspx?TabID=500945&R=1994414&ModID=1001879], with the MRC suspension system alone costing AUD$4.5 million.
