It’s official: HSV’s Gen-F2 GTS is the fastest standard Austrailan production car we’ve ever tested.

HSV claims 4.4sec 0-100km/h for its 430kW/740Nm range-topper, but this manual example managed 0-100km/h in 4.31sec and a 12.37sec quarter mile at 188.32km/h.

On drag strip timing, which includes a one-foot rollout, that would result in a 12.1-12.2sec quarter mile run, which is seriously fast for a big Aussie four-door.
