VN Commodore SS Group A SV

Why it matters

The VN Commodore SS Group A was the last Group A homologation car from Holden Special Vehicles. Group A required 500 cars, but CAMS granted a dispensation in hard economic times and only 302 were built.

How rare is it?

Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.

Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

After Holden split from Peter Brock's HDT in 1987, Holden Special Vehicles was formed as a joint venture with Tom Walkinshaw Racing and produced the VL and then VN Group A cars. The 1990 VN used a fuel-injected V8 essentially carried over from the VL Group A, with a short exhaust manifold design to suit the rules, and a ZF six-speed gearbox from the Corvette ZR1 that opened the door to a Holinger racing gearbox. It was the final Holden Group A model.
