The Redline Edition Calais V-Series and SS V-Series sedan, Sportwagon
and Ute will take up top positions in Holden�s updated VE Series II
range, to be launched later this month.
Intended for enthusiast drivers, Redline Edition models offer high-level
braking and sports handling capabilities to match their powerful
6.0-litre V8 credentials.
Advanced chassis dynamics come courtesy of specialist Holden engineers,
who developed a track-inspired FE3 super sports suspension set-up* to
complement the extra stopping power of four-piston Brembo high
performance front brakes.
The Redline Edition range is further distinguished by exclusive forged
and polished 19-inch alloy wheels, matched to low profile tyres.
Holden also raises the bar with the inclusion of full colour mapping satellite navigation
and a rear camera** as standard equipment in V-Series models, which
feature the new multimedia touch screen Holden-iQ system and smart
interior treatments.
All Redline Editions are compatible with bio-ethanol, also known as E85,
an emission-reducing �fuel of the future� that already powers V8
Supercars.
Holden Executive Director of Sales, Marketing and Aftersales John
Elsworth said the Redline Edition introduced added excitement to the
company�s high-feature luxury performance range.
�We know the performance enthusiasts who drive Holden sports vehicles
enjoy the way the engine performs with the exhilarating V8 engine
performance of our sport models,� Mr Elsworth said.
�We know that their interest goes beyond straight-line power and torque
though. They�re looking for a satisfying overall driving experience with
superior chassis dynamics.
�With the Redline Edition, we set out to improve that experience for
them, to provide the ultimate sports ride by introducing features we
know they�ll value the most - track-inspired handling for great road
connection and control combined with awesome stopping power.
