Summary

Description

Built from Feb 1986-August 1988.

The last facelift on the 1st generation Commodore, the lines were smoothed out, it got a subtle boot spoiler and newly shaped headlights (the Calais' were partially concealed). The old Holden 6 cylinder was gone, the Nissan RB30E engine was used in the VL. 6 months into its release a 150 kilowatts (200 hp) turbocharged RB30ET version of the Nissan engine was released. The engine received new pistons which lowered the compression ratio, while an updated camshaft was used to reduce overlap. The allure of the Commodore was quickly established particularly when the top speed was 200 kilometres per hour (124 mph) and then extended to 220 kilometres per hour (137 mph) with the addition of the Garret turbocharger. The Australian Police commissioned the turbocharged models as their interceptor Highway Pursuit cars of choice. These interceptors were denoted by BT1 in the model code on the Body
