The Holden Commodore VT, produced from 1997 to 2000, represents a significant evolution in Holden's large family and executive car offerings for the Australian and New Zealand markets. This generation introduced modern, European-influenced styling and utilized GM's global V-body platform, sharing architecture with Opel models. Available as a sedan and station wagon, the VT Commodore offered a range of powerful engines, including the 3.8L V6 Ecotec in naturally aspirated and supercharged variants, and the potent 5.0L Gen III LS1 V8 from late 1999. Its engineering quality and improved handling made it a notable step forward from previous generations, establishing it as a strong competitor in the Australian automotive landscape.
