I didn’t know these existed until today, pretty sweet IMO. > [@wiki](#): > > The E Series was released in October 2007 and is offered only as the Maloo R8. This is Australia’s most powerful [Coupé utility](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coup%C3%A9_utility), using by a [Chevrolet Corvette](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Corvette)-based 6 litre LS2 V8, outputting 307 kW (412 hp) and 550 N·m (410 lb·ft) later advancements saw the power output rise to 317 kW (425 hp). This title was previously held by the Z Series Maloo. ---
