Because the site is clearly wrong. I would like to know who actually made the site.

That information is wrong. Perhaps meant to be an add on to the Limited Edition section. Remember that the 5.0L V8 in the VT is only 179kw... why would they go backwards?

Here:
Not much change with VS Series II, except that Calais now gets 16 inch alloy wheels and foglamps, with its two-tone paint job slightly different. Manual gearbox on ECOTECs is now Getrag. The V8's power is up slightly to 168kW. The Calais also gets the option of the Supercharged V6. The indicator lights on the side front panels are now oval in shape. The interior has also been slightly revamped.

From another site: http://www.users.on.net/~nweber/commodore/vs/index.html


And
Series II V8
Maximum power: 168 kW @ 4400 rpm
Maximum torque: 395 Nm @ 3600 rpm
