What You'll Learn
Holden HSV Commodore Group A SV
The Holden HSV Commodore Group A SV is an iconic Australian car that has gained legendary status. The 1991 model, in particular, showcased the early 1990s era of low-cost amateur sedan racing, dominated by large Australian saloons. This rear-wheel-drive sports sedan was included in Forza Motorsport 2023 as part of Update 15.
The Holden Commodore Group A was a homologation special, requiring 500 road-going units to be built and sold to let the car go racing. Holden Special Vehicles (HSV) was more than happy to comply, and in fact, demand was so high that an additional 250 models were produced. The car was produced in only one colour, "Panorama Silver," named after the famed Bathurst racing circuit at Mount Panorama. The Commodore Group A went by many nicknames, including "Walkinshaw" or "Walky" for its heritage, and "Plastic Fantastic" or "Winged Warrior" for the heavy use of plastic in its bold and functional body kit, which reduced drag by up to 25%.
The Holden Commodore Group A SV was a rear-wheel-drive sport sedan produced by Holden in 1988. It was featured in Forza Motorsport 6 as part of the Mobil 1 Car Pack and all subsequent main games. The VL Commodore was available with an RB30 engine from Nissan, the same engine used in the Nissan Skyline GTS-R (R31).
Holden, an Australian automaker, began as a leatherworks and saddlery business in the 1850s. In the early 1900s, they started producing motorcycle sidecar bodies and custom-made car bodies. During World War I, the Australian government restricted the importation of complete cars, and by the 1920s, Holden had built a reputation as a maker of car bodies for Dodge, Buick, Ford, and Chevrolet, among others. In 1931, General Motors purchased Holden Motor Builders and merged it with General Motors (Australia) Pty Ltd. Holden Special Vehicles (HSV) is the officially designated performance arm of Holden, modifying cars like the Commodore for domestic and export markets.
