The HSV Monaro VZ is a high-performance two-door coupe produced by Holden Special Vehicles in Australia, based on the Holden Monaro VZ platform introduced in 2004. It carried over the rear-wheel-drive, V8-powered formula of the standard Monaro and received HSV-specific engine, suspension, and brake upgrades to sharpen its performance credentials. The model is known for combining genuine coupe practicality with serious power outputs, slotting into HSV's lineup as a more focused, style-oriented alternative to the brand's sedan-based performance cars. Production was limited by the relatively short lifespan of the VZ Monaro itself, which concluded in 2005 when Holden wound down the nameplate.
