2008 HSV Clubsport VE R8
2008 HSV Clubsport VE R8 finished in Phantom Black. Rear-wheel drive, powered by a 6.2-litre LS3 V8 naturally aspirated engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. Odometer indicating 211,219 kilometres. Four-door sedan, 5 seats. HSV build plate confirmed (Build No. 0822, August 2008).
Description / Overview:
A genuine HSV Clubsport R8 from the highly regarded VE platform era, this Phantom Black example delivers the full R8 experience with the preferred 6-speed manual drivetrain. At 211,219 kilometres it has had a working life, but it presents as a fundamentally solid car that has been well cared for. The R8 specification brings upgraded brakes, HSV sports suspension, and the red brake caliper treatment that makes these stand out from an ordinary VE Commodore.
The car has received some aftermarket attention over the years including an XForce exhaust upgrade and wheel changes. The exterior panels are straight and well-aligned with no evidence of collision repair, and the Phantom Black paint presents with strong gloss and depth. Interior presents well overall with the embroidered Clubsport seats, HSV triple gauge pod, and factory Blaupunkt navigation intact. The boot area shows evidence of a previous audio installation and would benefit from tidy-up to restore clean presentation.
For buyers seeking a driveable, engaging HSV manual at a strong entry price, this R8 is a compelling option. Inspection at the Carrara depot is recommended to assess current mechanical condition.
