  • Holden Releases “Lightning” Car Dubbed by Fan [VIDEO]

    It is the Holden Commodore SV6 that has been named ‘Lightning’ by a fan after a Facebook competition held in January. The person who won it is Eu Wyn Wong and the result is a special edition which will go on sale later this month. The fan-named model will be available on two versions: SV6 sedan and ute. As a special edition it, of course, it includes various additional equipment.

    Common between both variants is that they will ride on 20-inch forged alloys and will be accentuated by gloss black elements. Precisely, the sedan gets gloss black lip spoiler, fender vents, front grille surrounds and side decals. On the other hand, the highlighted-with-gloss-black features in the ute are the front grille surrounds and side decals.

    For those who chose the automatic transmission, they will also immediately receive an alloy foot pedals. In addition, from the picture it is visible that the ute has been made better. This is due to the new slimline hard tonneau that accentuates its athletic on-road presence.

    SV6 Lighting models will be powered by the well known 3.6-liter SIDI direct-injected V6 engine, which produces 281 horsepower (210 kW) and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque.

    All in all, both versions look extremely sporty and deserve some serious attention from those who like the brand. And of course, the name ‘Lightning’ describes perfectly the exciting and energetic credentials of this special edition.
