Among them, Australia's utterly fast sedan has received a Porsche-inspired "torque vectoring" technology. The new system helps the new vehicle stay glued to the road and enables the driver to maintain steering ability at constant speed without having to deal with understeer.

As a reminder, HSV's latest high-performance vehicle is powered by a 6.2-liter LSA V8 engine that delivers 585 HP and 740 Nm (546 lb-ft) of torque.
