no, they didnt just turn the commodore upside to see if it floats. :silly:
its and actual HSV boat built by Malibu boats (http://www.malibuboats.com/)
:)

these wheels first came out on the HSV Response R8 (http://www.hsv.com.au/main.html) trailer, i think theyre now on the new
Monaro GTO (http://www.hsv.com.au/cars/vx2/coupe/gto/alt/large/hero.jpg) .

it also comes with a HSV enhanced LS1 engine producing approximately 275 kW :cool:

HSV General Manager Chris Payne commented:
"Malibu and HSV have been teamed on the project for about 6 months and it is a concept that we have been wanting to have some fun with for a while. Yes, the boat is a trial exercise and after testing reaction as part of a HSV lifestyle display at the Sydney Motor show it will be interesting to see if we get orders for the HSV version of the Response. But we think it is a perfect fit. Traditionally HSV owners are very much into outdoor activities; we know that as well as their obvious affection for motorsport, water sports and family activities feature prominently in their leisure activities.
Orders may be taken by Malibu for the HSV - Response R8, but whether we actually go ahead with the production of any in a limited run or whatever will depend on the public reaction. If we get orders for 20 at the Motor Show then we will talk with Malibu and decide our long-term strategy - if people are blown away by the idea then we may just build 20 and individually number them to order."
The boat is the water equivalent of the ClubSport - hence its name.
