The hottest “El-Camino” in the world is Australian and it’s made by Holden Special Vehicles (HSV). Officially unveiled at the Sydney Show today, the Maloo (an aboriginal word for thunder or storm) gets the same 412 Hp LS2 V8 as the Clubsport R8 with power being driven to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox or optionally, an automatic transmission. HSV’s Chief Engineer John Clark was pretty excited about his company’s latest offering characterizing the Maloo R8 as a “coupe with a damn big boot!”. Can you blame him? -Continued after the jump
