Holden updated the Commodore SS Ute range in early 2017. The Holden SS Ute has become part of the Australian culture and yet with the manufacturing changes coming, will no longer be available.
Holden’s SS Ute comes with the 6.2L V8 LS3 engine, a six speed manual transmission, and new features included in the update are
- Head-Up Display
- Satellite Navigation
- 19” alloy wheels
The essence of the Holden SS Ute is that it is a 2 door 2wd sports car that is immensely practical as well. The 6.2L LS3 V8 produces 304kW @ 6000rpm of power and 570Nm @ 4400rpm of torque. This drives through a six speed manual transmission, utlising a limited slip differential and will race from -0-100kmh in about 5 seconds.
There is plenty of internal room for the driver and passenger, clear easy to read dash, plenty of standard features and most of all that beautiful V8 Burble.
