Specifications:

During the beginning of May and up until the end of June in 1993, a limited run of 50 special edition VP Clubsports were comissioned by HSV and released to the public with the same driveline and brakes as the 4 bolt main bred VP GTS. These rare VP HSV's were dubbed the Clubsport 5000i but still looked much like a VP Clubsport.

Externally all VP Clubsport 5000i's were only available in Alaskan white but featured grey sideskirts, grey lower paint outs on the front and rear bars, a colour coded rear number plate garnish and were fitted with the HSV "P" type clubsport 17" x 8" alloys painted in the matching Grey highlight. These 'P' type clubsport wheels were later fitted to the VR series Clubsports.

Fitted on the rear of the car under the RHS brake light assembly and also under the front side indicators were 5000i decals and this time, the build number was actually written on the boot of the car. These were of only a few HSV models that would ever wear their build number on the exterior of the vehicle.

Each 200kw black motor fitted to the Clubsport 5000i, featured black tappet, and fuel rail covers and was powered by the BDJH programmed memcal with an identifying number stamped onto it. This memcal was completely different to the clubsport chip and more similar to the VN Grp A chip but was suited to an auto with a revised camshaft to suit higher comp, lower rev limit and revised fuel and ignition maps.

Additionally, anywhere from 10 to 14 vehicles were exported to NZ while The remainder stayed here in Aus. The exports were randomly selected from the production run, which meant the numbers allocated were not in series.

Standard equipment included IRS, electric windows, electric mirrors, electric aerial, power steering, air conditioning, 85L long range fuel tank, HSV dual cat stainless steel exhaust system with HSV tuned length 1 5/8" extractors, and a yellow SV5000 spare, which was used to clear the 330mm calipers on the front in the event of a flat tyre.
