And for the very first time, the new VF Red-line provides innovative technology features made to attract the enthusiast driver trying to find luxury performance during driving and track - competent qualities for club activities in the weekend.

The new SS V Red-line can be more lavish and refined caused by crucial VF program goals, including noise-reduction, to provide one of the most refined Commodore actually created.

FUNCTIONS FOR THE MONITOR

In accordance with its up-to-date sports ability, Holden's VF Redline variety introduces Competitive Style - a selectable performance setting that adjusts electrical power-steering and Electronic Stability-control calibration to optimize vehicle performance for the monitor.

"Early on, it was obvious we needed to create greater distinction between our performance range as well as our luxurious vehicles with Red-line trying out a new function as Holden's greatest definition of performance," he said.

"As an engineering group, we obtained some precious learnings about maximising rear-wheel drive operation from our work in the Chevrolet Camaro application, and used this understanding to Red-line.

"We needed to create Red-line more edgy; more of a sports-car, and we did that by engineering an ideal balance of go, stop and change features.

"With VF, everything started against the tyres. For the very first time, we adopted a double width tyre arrangement to achieve greater supreme grip levels to provide better traction out-of corners.

"The new high-performance tyre package also created directing sensitivity much better, it raised lateral grip, complete sharpness of dynamics and improved stopping distance, producing VF Red-line a perfect package for the enthusiast driver.

"The new VF Red-line may be the evolutionary step-over VE that is pushed the bounds of Holden rearwheel drive operation - it may be the greatest driver's car from Holden."

Aggressive Mode

Holden has designed new technologies to accentuate Redline's track able functionality features. In Competitive Style, the calibration is completely biased towards greatest sports performance managing, with a greater focus on steering input and feedback at higher rates.

Highlights include an original aggressive steering calibration, monitor melody to improve motorist suggestions during high lateral "g" cornering. Bigger front Brembo(registered company) brakes are calibrated for the race track, having an original Aggressive Mode ESC calibration that enables more independence to investigate the auto's adhesion limits in a controlled track environment and optimize lap times for changing driver capacity.

The chassis setup comprises damper tunes and new spring front and back, bigger stabiliser bars and stiffened bushes, while manual gearbox versions also include launch-control, which enhances take - away when in Aggressive Mode.

Wheels and tyres

Highperformance Brembo(registered company) front brakes with fourpiston, twopiece silver polish aluminium front calipers and 355mm front rotors, as well as forged 19inch alloy wheels also lead to Redline's complex management dynamics.

The front calipers offer improved stiffness to lessen liquid displacement and caliper deformation without adding fat and lead to Redline's improved braking feel and complete vehicle dynamics. A column - vented rotor design also enhances endurance and cooling.

Chassis

One of the crucial developments to the Red-line chassis are major reductions to complete weight via using new Electric Power-steering and aluminium parts.

Bigger bore struts with rebound springs and new damper melody offer superb sharp car response, excellent body-control and a significantly decreased roll ange. The brand new damper melody also lessens the tendency for damper fade during track use and produces consistent operation within a track day.

Holden has fitted bigger front and rear stabiliser bars to allow substantial decrease in roll angle, as the newest EPS system is tuned for a result with faster on center steering ratio and rate varying steering attempts. The default Activity steering calibration is optimised for improved automobile suggestions, when Aggressive Style is chosen while steering is more sensitive.

FUNCTIONS FOR THE STREET

The new VF SS V Red-line variety blends superior features and luxurious style detailing with new complex technologies to bring Holden's functionality main vehicle from the street to the track.

"Its blend of luxurious features, including superior Bose(registered company) speakers on sedan, leather-appointed interior trim and Push-button Start with detector key, and monitor performance systems like Aggressive Mode, Launch-control and new FE3 sports suspension redefines Red-line as much more than simply a performance-car.

"Pricing can be significantly sharper and we have ensured clients get a good deal for their Red-line by lowering suggested costs by $6,300.

"So far we have had a terrific answer to VF Commodore, and we have observed Red-line constitute a sizeable percentage of SS V revenue after only a brief time in the available on the marketplace.

"We also have seen some amazing exposure from our on-line effort that get the Red-line Ute through its paces in the toughest racetrack to the planet - the Nurburgring.

"We have really got an amazing performance-car with Red-line and we have now really got a brand new lap record of 8m 19.47second in the world-famed Nurburgring to demonstrate it."

Bose(registered company) premium sound

220-watt Bose (registered company) speakers - standard on Red-line sedan - uses nine speakers, including subwoofers, to create a pure, neutral tone stability from end-of the spectrum to the other.

Color HeadUp Display (HUD)

HeadUp Display jobs significant bunch info to the windshield, enabling the driver to see it without looking away from the street.

The clear, colored show features four displays, selectable from the driver, which reveal such advice as infotainment, tachometer, electronic speedometer and turn by turn navigation.

HUD uses a number of mirrors to exhibit the data on a particular hightechnology windscreen.

HeadUp Display is contingent upon technology initially developed within the UNITED states for military fighter-jets. It empowered pilots to see critical information with all the head placed 'upward' and looking ahead, rather than looking down at lower device readouts.

It utilizes a digicam to help drivers prevent crashes.

Like Lane-departure Warning, FCA was created to help minimise the chance of crashes generally due to distraction, driver error and drowsiness.

The device searches for vehicles forward and uses the vehicle's HeadUp Display (HUD) to alert motorists if they're approaching another vehicle too fast plus a crash seems to be at hand.

The collision warning system will over-ride this setting, when the HUD function is switched off.

Ahead Collision Alarm functions at rates above 40 km/h.

Lane-departure Warning

An electronic camera is mounted to the windscreen in front of the rear-view mirror helps you to battle distraction, driver error and somnolence by supplying lane-departure warnings.

This useful active security feature helps to lessen the chance of crash that appear when motorists ramble around lane markings accidentally, or depart a lane without signalling first.

The Lane-departure System is activated by means of a control in the steering wheel. It might be de-activated by the driver, based on condition and preference.

Reverse Traffic Alert

This technology utilises exactly the same group of radar sensors that control the Side Blind Zone Alert function.

Reverse Traffic Alert senses going cross traffic - as much as 25 metres away - that might not be noticeable to the motorist.

Blind-spot Alert

This intelligent crash-avoidance technology functions via radar sensors situated on either side of the automobile's back fascia/fender.

The machine's first function would be to warn motorists when a car enters a given 'blind spot' zone within an adjoining lane. If an effort is made to switch lanes the next imperative would be to alert motorists to the risk.

The alarm within the left or right-side outside mirror will flash, when the driver indicates to go within that blind zone.

Sensor Key with Push-button Start

This super-suitable 'keyless' attribute allows motorists to unlock, begin and lock the vehicle just by taking the detector key together.

Integrated antennas within the automobile body determine a radio pulsation produced from the key-fob, on strategy.

Intelligent Remote Start System

It seamlessly integrates with passive and antitheft entry systems.

The heated front seats feature will be also activated by remote Start, offering that inside car and exterior temperatures are below a particular threshold.
