Holden VL Commodore -
Group A SV Panorama Silver
(Australian Exclusive)
The Holden VL Commodore Group A SV ‘Walkinshaw’ was built to homologate
the Group A race car. Following Holdens split with Peter Brock and the
dissolution of the Holden Dealer Team in 1987, the VL ‘Walkinshaw’ would
be the first car to roll out of Tom Walkinshaw Racing’s newly formed
Holden Special Vehicles operation in Melbourne.
Although the TWR
developed body kit added an extra 65kg, it was able to reduce the drag
from the previous Group A by 25%, with the radical design coming from
the benefit of the MIRA wind tunnel in Britain. Under the bonnet was
Holden’s first V8 to have electronic fuel injection, the engine also
featured twin throttle-body intakes that sat higher than the bonnet
line, requiring the vented raised bonnet scoop. The Group A engine
development was done in house at Holden, with fine tuning done by Holden
Motor Sport driver Larry Perkins.
Only produced in one colour,
Panorama Silver the VL ‘Walkinshaw’ was limited to a production of 750
vehicles. When the VL ‘Walkinshaw’ was released the design was
polarising, but now VL ‘Walkinshaw’ is one of the most iconic Holdens
ever produced
