- Bi-modal exhaust and mechanical sound enhancer standard on all V8 sports models

Holden has uncovered the most advanced Commodore ever built, the Commodore VFII.
VFII introduces a new 6.2-litre LS3 engine to all V8 models, along with numerous upgrades including bi-modal exhaust,
mechanical sound enhancer and all-new styling cues.
The 2016 Commodore VFII is equipped with the powerful LS3 6.2-litre V8 engine and delivers 304kW of power and an
exhilarating 570Nm of torque, ensuring that this is the quickest Commodore ever, posting a 0-100km/h sprint time of 4.9
seconds.
An engine of this calibre deserves a pure V8 soundtrack, so Holden engineers developed a distinct and fitting engine
sound; the result of many hours of local testing and courtesy of a newly introduced bi-modal exhaust with unique Holden
designed “Baillie Tip” and mechanical sound enhancer.
Building on the performance of the LS3 V8 engine, Holden’s track focused, top of the range, SSV Redline sees the
introduction of Brembo brakes on all four wheels, providing exceptional braking performance under all conditions and
specifically designed to perform under closed circuit and track day conditions.
Holden’s Chairman and Managing Director, Mark Bernhard, described the Commodore VFII as the culmination of over three
decades of design, engineering and manufacturing expertise, combined with unrivalled Australian experience.
“We made a commitment to keep this iconic car exciting and relevant for Australian motorists, and that is exactly
what we have done. This is the vehicle that our Commodore customers have been asking for,” said Mr. Bernhard.
“Commodore VFII is powerful and refined, it will evoke emotion in its driver and exhibits all of the hallmarks
Commodore has become renowned for over the years.”
“Commodore represents 37-years of innovation, performance and technological advancements and has earned its place
as Holden’s longest-standing and most successful nameplate.”
“Holden’s design, engineering and manufacturing teams have produced the best Commodore ever - a vehicle that truly
lives up to its reputation and one that the entire company is incredibly proud of.”
“This is the reason Holden is committed to ensuring we will continue to have engineering and design input into
Commodore, and every other Holden vehicle in our range, for generations to come.”
In addition to being the most powerful Commodore ever, VFII also boasts the exceptional refinement and handling that
Holden has become famous for. Tuned at Holden’s Lang Lang proving ground and tested across Australia, VFII’s revised FE3
rear sports suspension increases ride comfort whilst retaining its sharp handling.
Holden’s Lead Development Engineer, Amelinda Watt, said the extensive development work combined with Holden’s
Australian expertise ensured the new engine, sound and handling was unique and thrilling.
“The new 6.2-litre LS3 engine and its distinctive sound character is the result of years of hard work, testing,
developing and evaluating this vehicle and I’m so proud of the end result,” said Ms. Watt.
“This is absolutely the best car we have ever engineered and we are confident we are giving all our customers a
compelling reason to put the latest Commodore in their driveway.”
The introduction of functional hood vents and fascia ducts were developed by Holden engineers with support from
Melbourne’s Monash University wind tunnel, improving aerodynamics around the front corners of the vehicle.
Hood vents, a stunning new front fascia as well as the introduction of clear lens tail lamps on sedan models and new
LED tail lamps on all Sportwagon models gives VFII a more aggressive exterior to match the LS3 V8 under the bonnet.
Commodore VFII goes on sale in October.
