Walkinshaw Performance launches new 480 kW E2 Supercar
Industry leading no cost warranty to be standard
New wheel design and carbon fibre finishes debuted
Auto tuning outfit Walkinshaw Performance (WP) has entered 2010 with a bang, launching
the new Walkinshaw E2 Supercar with more jaw-dropping power, a stunning carbon fibre
finish and all-new wheel design.
The Walkinshaw E2 Supercar also features a new warranty option, giving WP customers
real peace of mind, with every purchase.1
National Sales Manager Tony Harris said WP was delighted to be able to offer an upgraded
‘Supercar’ performance option for customers looking for that little bit extra out of their
vehicles.
“To be able to extract up to 480 kW from the 6.2 litre Chevrolet LS3 V8 engine, will make the
Walkinshaw E2 Supercar a true collector’s item and a lot of fun to drive,” Tony Harris said.
Key highlights of the Walkinshaw E2 Supercar include:
• WP190 Supercharger in black – delivering up to 480kW of power and 802Nm of
torque
• WP Carbon fibre fender vents, bonnet scoop, mirrors and hood header
• WP 3.0” bi-modal exhaust package
• WP Lowered suspension kit
• WP Unique 20” wheels and tyres
• WP Unique engine covers, mats and headrests
• WP Carbon Fibre low series spoiler.
In addition and in a real industry break through, Walkinshaw Performance customers can
now warranty their supercharger modification for the balance of their new vehicle warranty at
no extra cost.
The warranty covers the driveline of the vehicle.
1 Only available to vehicles under new car warranty. There is no provision for warranty on vehicles not currently under new car
warranty.
Walkinshaw Performance Program Engineer, Alan Hale said the WP team were proud of the
new Walkinshaw E2 Supercar.
“It’s a great car which is a heap of fun to drive and really stands out on the road,” Alan Hale
said.
“To be able to back that up with a new warranty offering sets a new standard for the
Australian performance car industry.”

The pictures may not be doing it justice. The colour isn't helping either. Plus in these photos the rims look like they should be bigger. I would like to see one in the flesh... :D
