Z06-engined Holden ready for combat
Holden, the Australian division of General Motors that gave us the Pontiac GTO and G8, have cooked up a new car based on the same underpinnings. To be shown at the Melbourne Auto Show today, the tentatively-named HSV Commodore is a new super-expensive offering with the 505 hp Corvette Z06 engine.
The car can apparently do 0-62 mph in 4.7 seconds, with a top speed limited to 155 mph. The car will undergo further testing in icy Sweden to calibrate its stability control system. The Australian price is said to be around US$ 150,000.
