Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Holden VL Commodore SS Group A SV was a vehicle developed and built for Holden by TWR and the newly established Holden Special Vehicles company. Released in 1988, it was based on the Holden VL Commodore. 750 examples were built, meeting the minimum requirement of 500 units necessary to allow the model to be homologated for racing under international Group A Touring Car regulations. It replaced the existing Holden VL Commodore SS Group A (which had been developed by Peter Brock's HDT Special Vehicles company} as Holden's Group A race car. Due to its high use of plastic in the bodykit, it was termed such things as the "Plastic Pig". Other, less derogatory nicknames included the "Walkinshaw" and the most common of all, "Walky" (after TWR's chief Tom Walkinshaw). With the requirements of Group A regulations, Holden had to have a car capable of being competitive 'straight off the showroom floor'. Thus it needed a bodykit that would produce large amounts of downforce as well as being low drag.
