Its range consists of V8-engined high performance cars based on those produced by Holden. Since its founder, Peter Dichiera (engine builder and 1970s drag racer, nicknamed "''Mildura Maverick''"), decided that CSV would not simply build modified versions of existing Holden cars, in 1996 it obtained government approval under the Australian Design Rules (ADR) scheme.

The interest arising from the favourable results of this new high performance sedan against an HSV equivalent, as published in a national automotive magazine, caused CSV to build a ...
