Hardly as luxurious as a BMW or Audi but:

The supercharged model pumps out a muscle-bound 533bhp and a whopping 568lb ft of torque. Consider that even with all the options you're saving £16,000 over the M5, and it starts to make more sense. No AMG or RS from Merc or Audi can live with its price, either.

I actually like it, pretty basic and simple, but very efficient formula !

This is only avalible in GB and in Australia as Holden... ?

Am I correct ?
