Holden's Wicked Wagon

[Hemidog]

IT?S billed as Australia?s most powerful wagon and claimed to crack 100km/h in less than five seconds, making it just as quick but even more commodious than BMW?s wacky X6 M or the Porsche Cayenne Turbo.

And with a blown 450kW/770Nm 6.0-litre Chevrolet V8 motivating it we?re not about to argue.

Meet the latest creation from Melbourne tuning house Walkinshaw Performance, based on Holden?s Pontiac G8-look SS-V Sportwagon Special Edition: the WP ?Superwagon?.

Built to showcase a new go-fast product line-up aimed directly at Holden customers, the Superwagon comes with performance upgrades now available for the entire V8-powered VE Commodore sedan, wagon, ute, Statesman and Caprice model range.

The highlight is a red-finished WP190 Supercharger kit that extracts up to 450kW of power and a wholesome 770Nm of torque from Holden?s 6.0-litre Gen 4 Chevrolet V8 - and comes standard with a no-cost drivetrain warranty, extending for the balance of Holden?s three-year/100,000km new-car warranty.

Developed by the Clayton-based aftermarket company of global motorsport baron Tom Walkinshaw, who owns HSV, the VE Superwagon and its Holden-specific performance parts follow the release last month of WP?s HSV-based ?E2 Supercar?.

Thanks Fritz Henderson for denying us GM junkies with kin folk our next new car purchase - the Pontiac Bonneville Safari GXP

arrowhead rant - brands do matter - not restructuring Pontiac into a niche offering supplied, in part, with Holden based Zeta products will be an expensive mistake

Earth to Ed Whitacre - "here's a sales faucet waiting to be turned on"

I'm with you on that. Then again, one thing I'm learning from working at a dealership is that nearly everything done in the car business is a stupid move, but somehow the owners & management keep making money....
