the R8 model is the full spec car in any of the HSV range. ie. you have a "Clubsport" and with all the options (big brakes, leather etc) it then becomes a Clubsport R8.

This is the same on the Maloo which gets the R8 badge when it has all the high spec stuff fitted.

All UK HSV's are Clubsport R8's (but are badged as GTS for the UK market) with the exception of the UK GTS-R which is infact a OZ GTS (confused yet)
