Super rare 1 in 292,180 on the road Built 1985-1991 Sold new in New Zealand
Updated from the NZTA Motor Vehicle Register, counted as at 31 August 2026. Recounted every month.
Commodores built in small numbers so Holden could race them under Group A touring car rules. The first, in 1985, was Peter Brock's blue VK. The best known is the 1988 VL developed by Tom Walkinshaw's team, with a body kit so wild it was nicknamed the Batmobile, and it was the first car from the new Holden Special Vehicles.
