    It's just an Enhanced Berlina with the 185i tune in it. Has some extra goodies over the standard Berlina.

    No It's not a S - SS- or clubsport - correct

    The dash tag should have a "E" enhanced number on it and under the bonnet a HSV compliance tag that has the some number.

    The XX1 was the 180kw engine in the VP range so that would be for the 185i option.

    533 is th build number on the car - so should have a matching dash tag.

    let me brake it down 4 ya.

    Holden`s V8`s VR/VS

    Berlina=165i
    Calais=165i
    SS=165i
    BT1 (X police vehicles) =165i *note some QLD BT1`s had a 185i pack, though this is noticable when buying one because of the HSV CAI and headers.

    HSV`s

    Manta= 185i
    Clubsport=185i
    GTS= 215i
    Senator= both 185i and 215i options
    *215i is a factory stroked 304ci to 355ci
    hope this clears thing up a bit.

    In my opinion getting a SS, berlina or calais to the 200kw area is so easy and just makes the 20kw gain a brush off when buying/looking for old HSV`s, though the bodykits and luxo bits do it for me.
