While on holiday in Australia, Chris Harris couldn’t stay away from cars and decided to test drive the wildest ute on sale there, the HSV Maloo GTS.

Powered by a 577hp 6.2-liter supercharged V8 sourced from the Holden HSV Gen-F GTS sedan, the HSV Maloo GTS is a great car to drive, thanks first and foremost to the huge amount of torque the V8 produces: 740 Nm or 545 lb-ft.

Harris also found the super ute surprisingly balanced on track given that the rear axle hasn’t got much weight pushing it against the ground. Of course, like most of his reviews, this one contains a lot of drifting – but who wouldn’t do that with a RWD super ute?
