A new HSV ‘ZB’ Commodore is not part of the local
design and engineering division’s future product plan, the company has
confirmed.
HSV boss Tim Jackson said the company was planning
four to five new models by 2021, though the new Opel Insignia-based Holden
Commodore arriving early 2018 isn’t currently a target. The flagship VXR model
is essentially the replacement for the home-grown V8-powered Commodore SS,
bringing all-wheel drive to the regular variants’ front-drive layout.
Despite the VXR featuring a normally aspirated
3.6-litre V6 that opens up possibilities for forced induction, Jackson says a
suitable business case has yet to present itself.
