I heard from a mate that is strong Holden supporter that Holden (or HSV) is planning to release a naturally aspirated 225kw V6 Holden to coincide with the release of the new Falcon in 2008.
Apparently the new Holden will be using the Alloytec V6 but with higher compression and direct port injection. the engine is supposed to be the same one as in the 2008 Cadillac CTS with 225kw@6300rpm and 369nm@5200rpm. Can anyone confirm this? The torque figure seems pretty crappy indicating a VERY peaky engine but if Holden releases this and the new GTSR then Ford is in big trouble. |
