HSV boss says Australia's power wars are over

HSV boss says Australia's power wars are over

Phil Harding, managing director of Holden Special Vehicles, says the Australian power wars are effectively over. GoAuto has quoted Harding as saying that it's simply becoming too expensive to continue to pursue ever more engine performance thanks in part due to extensive certification, homologation, development and testing requirements. Whereas HSV was once able to extract an extra 67 horsepower from an engine with a given investment, the same outlay today will see a bump of less than 7 hp, according to Harding. The executive also said Holden has reached the upper legal limit of what's possible with LS3 engine development.
