Can anybody confirm if the HSV LS ute came with a V8? What I can find on google suggests the LS only came with a V6 but was this for the sedans only? In particular the 1991 VG series.

HSV (The Innovators) publication shows that a total of 54 (VG & VP) models were made with V6 (125kw), V8 (165kw) and V8 (180kw) engines but didn't give individual numbers for each engine.

VP had different guards, indicators, headlights and grill shape, along with different bumper styling than VN.
