Start by selecting a model.
With a 6.2 litre, supercharged LSA Generation IV alloy V8 pumping out a massive 410kW of power and 691Nm of torque, one drive is all it'll take for you to discover just how exhilarating a high-performance luxury car can be. And, with the ensuing roar from the re-calibrated bi-modal twin exhaust system with quad outlets, you'll be seen...and heard.
Unashamedly sleek and sporty, with a dynamic and sophisticated edge, the sculpted look of the Senator Signature speaks for itself. And to celebrate 30 Years of HSV, every vehicle features distinctive '30 Years' branding to remind you, and everyone else, that you've purchased a piece of Australian automotive history. The Senator Signature is fitted standard with:
The dual function lamp runs as a Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) and a Position Lamp meaning they can be seen at night, at a slightly lower intensity, in conjunction with the headlights.
The Senator Signature features a fully integrated rear fascia, HSV Quad exhaust outlets and a Luxury Lip Rear Spoiler along with HSV LED Tail Lamps.
Inside the leather-clad interior of the Senator Signature, you instantly know you’re behind the wheel of a highly sophisticated performance machine. The Senator Signature features:
The Senator Signature features an 8" high-resolution, colour touch-screen display along with USB input, Single CD player with the capability to play MP3 tracks, Full iPod integration and a 9-Speaker BOSE premium audio system.
The Side Blind Zone Alert system extends driver vision, using ultrasonic waves to detect objects adjacent to the vehicle in the traditional "blind spot" zones. Reverse Traffic Alert intuitively scans rear cross traffic and warns you of any approaching vehicle hazards.
Passive entry is a keyless access system which lets you lock and unlock the vehicle's doors without removing the remote from your pocket, briefcase etc. Vehicles with automatic transmission have remote start which allows the vehicle's engine to be started from outside the vehicle by using the remote start button found on the remote key.
The Automatic Park Assist system helps take the guess work out of reversing into tight parking spaces through the use of parking sensors located in the front and rear fascias. The sensors detect the suitability of a parking space, calculate the correct drive path and steer the vehicle into position. All that is left for the driver to do is control the accelerator, brakes, transmission and clutch (in manual vehicles).
A camera, located above the rear view mirror, scans the road ahead up to 14 times per second. When a collision is predicted, the driver is alerted with an audible tone and a visual alert in the Head-Up Display. Anticipating hard braking, the system applies sufficient brake pressure to close the space between the brake pads and rotors, thus delivering a quicker brake response time.
Lane Departure Warning alerts the driver to any unintentional lane departures with an audible sound and warning indicator.
Rain Sensing Wipers are a convenience feature in that the windscreen wipers will operate when water is detected on the windscreen without the driver having to manually operate them.
The Hill Start Assist system assists in preventing rollback when taking off, when the vehicle is on an incline or decline (when reversing).
The Senator Signature features a 6.2 litre Supercharged LSA engine which now boasts a massive 410kW of power and 691Nm of torque (DIN). With all this power comes the need for massive amounts of air cooling. To assist with this, the Senator Signature is fitted with a stacked plate engine oil cooler and a stand-alone water-to-air charge-air cooling system.
The Driver Preference Dial controls electronic vehicle systems including ESC, Traction Control, Launch Control (manual only), Electric Power Steering calibration, MRC calibration and Bi-Modal exhaust, increasing performance with every clockwise turn.
The Senator Signature features a 4-piston brake package which was developed using NASCAR and V8 Supercar technologies. With a larger rear brake disc, to accommodate all of that power from the Supercharged LSA engine, this brake package offers an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio along with superior brake feel and performance.
The ContiSportContact 5P tyres, custom tuned for the HSV range, provide superior levels of ride quality and road grip in both dry and wet weather conditions.
Standard on the Senator Signature, Generation 3 MRC is a semiactive suspension system that allows damping to be adjusted in the blink of an eye to deliver greater body control, sharper handling and superior ride quality. There are 2 independent settings on Senator Signature: "Touring" and "Sport".
Electric Power Steering, with 2 modes, matches steering calibration with ESC settings, providing an optimum level of "feel" through the steering wheel that can be changed to suit driving preferences.
Launch Control provides the vehicle with the ability to accelerate, from standstill, at its maximum potential by managing engine torque and wheel-slip ratios.
Competition Mode ESC is specifically designed to give the driver more freedom under 'spirited' driving conditions.
The GEN-F2 Senator Signature features a TR6060 (MG9 spec) Tremec 6-speed manual transmission as standard and is also available with the optional 6L90E 6-speed automatic transmission with Active Select and Paddle Shifters which enable manual-like gear changes.
ABS reduces wheel lock under heavy braking situations by momentarily releasing brake pressure at the wheels required. This improves stopping distances on most surfaces, improves braking efficiency and enables better steering in demanding braking conditions.
Exclusively calibrated by HSV, the Senator Signature's ESC system monitors steering wheel angle and speed to make turning corners safer. If loss of traction occurs, ESC activates to apply brake pressure to individual wheels and, if necessary, reduces engine power.
In emergency braking situations, few people apply the required pressure to the brake pedal. EBA activates to optimise brake pressure performance.
DataDot DNA Platinum is the ultimate deterrent to both "professional" car thieves and component counterfeiters or supplier overruns. Thousands of DataDot DNA are applied to each GEN-F2 vehicle, all of them marked with the unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
