2009 HSV Maloo Ve R8 - Blue - 181,070km - 6.2L Supercharged V8, 6-Speed Manual, Rear Wheel Drive
Overview
The HSV Maloo R8 represents the pinnacle of Australian performance ute engineering. Built during the Ve generation (2006-2017), the R8 badge denotes the most potent variant, powered by a 6.2-litre supercharged V8 engine producing formidable power and torque. This 2009 example is a genuine two-door, two-seat performance utility, finished in striking blue with a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel-drive configuration. The Maloo R8 has become increasingly collectible as HSV production has ceased, making this an increasingly rare piece of Australian automotive heritage.
This particular example presents as a well-used but genuine performance ute. The blue metallic paint shows the patina consistent with 181,070 kilometres of active use, with visible stone chipping on the bonnet leading edge and light weathering across the body panels. The paint holds reasonable gloss across visible surfaces, and panel alignment appears straight with no obvious signs of major accident repair. The interior shows wear commensurate with age and mileage, with the black Maloo-branded sports seats displaying typical bolster wear. The dashboard and steering wheel show expected use marks. The manual transmission shifter and controls are present and functional in appearance. Wheels are fitted with Yokohama tyres showing moderate tread depth. The engine bay presents the iconic red-topped 6.2L supercharged V8 with visible service access and engine bay detailing intact.
At current market values, Ve-generation Maloo R8 examples in this mileage and condition range typically guide between AUD $28,000 and $38,000 depending on service history and specific condition. This example represents solid value for buyers seeking an authentic, usable performance ute with genuine HSV pedigree and the mechanical drama of a supercharged big-block V8.
