Overview
The series 3 R8 Maloo introduces the option of 'LPI', a system which directly injects liquid propane for normal driving, then switches to petrol when pushing hard. There are no official figures for the system yet, but the 6.2-Litre V8 produces 317kW/550Nm and returns 13.8L/100km through the six-speed 'SportsAuto', consuming Premium ULP. Body and interior enhancements are typical HSV along with their well-known suspension, four-spot braking and wheel packages (19-inch here). Safety features mirror its Commodore sibling's with, unique to HSV, 'competition mode' stability control and six airbags for the single cabin, which deliver a five-star ANCAP rating.
