Holden's swan song - the super Commodore

[mtv]

Petrol heads rejoice - before it shuts up shop in Australia for good, Holden will build the most powerful Commodore ever.

Holden Special Vehicles has revealed its GTSR W1 model will have a supercharged V8 engine and a price tag of about $170,000.

The performance vehicle unit says the car's maximum power output of 474kW makes it the most powerful performance production car built in the country.



Would be nice to have that sort of spare cash.

Price: From $169,990 plus on-road costs

Engine: 6.2-litre supercharged V8 petrol

Power: 474kW at 6500rpm

Torque: 815Nm at 3900rpm :P

Transmission: Six-speed manual, rear-wheel drive

Fuel use: 16.5L/100km

More importantly, it's the hand-built LS9 engine, not the crappy production line-built LSA like the other models get.

I wonder what these will be worth in 30-40 years and whether they'll ever attain a status like that of the GTS Monaro and A9X Torana?

I just wish I had that kind of money to throw around.

You can already get a Walkinshaw GTS with over 500kw for around 100k.....

I'll wait for the 300srt8 hellcat to arrive......

And for an extra 11k us....

Can you imagine how much it will cost to insure that thing today?
In 30-40 years the insurance would have cost more than the car itself...

OFC, you can always have it with 3rd party fire and theft...LOL

probably cost near as much for this type of vehicle.
