• The big Daddy of the all is the Grange, which is the HSV long wheel base car, which is essentially an angry limo.

HSV / Holden pretty much aim the Grange at the Audi A8 and the BMW 730Li
Mechanically the cars are all the same, with the same engine package. The M6 option is available on the Clubsport and GTS only.
Different body kits and rims also denote the different models. With a more “subtle” kit combination on the Senator and Grange models.
All of the HSVs come with the same engine option (except the W427)
