Badge understanding

Oh, so I've been going around all this time racing V6s at traffic lights thinking ima hero with my Series II! Hard to believe that badge is on a V6 without pics.

See here: 2006 Holden Commodore VE V
It's definitely a V6.

It's definitely a V6.

Yes that's definitely a 2006 V6 with some DIY badge engineered thing. Nothing authentic about that car. But I am possibly mistaken, thanks for clearing that up for OP, it is possibly an older style V-Spec badge (that looks like a V8 badge).
Yet to find official pics of V6 Calais V (without quad tips).

^^^ Holden did a value pack based on the Omega a few times which was badged "V" similar to how they used to bring out the "equipe" on occasion and before that the "vacationer".

 

[PIR4TE]

OK, so value pack / vacationer / v-spec / V8 badge?!

I concur it is not a V8 badge:

Which explains why they are lukewarm at lights!

OP previous owner either stuck it on himself to look like an SSV else it is an SSV

 

[Reaper]

That badge does not indicate a V8

FAR OUT!!! For a Commodore site some people really don't seem to get this.

The old red V badge is NOT a V8 badge. Never has been! Never will be!

Before Holden switched to incorporating the V into the badge, the V was a separate red badge as posted by the OP. And the Calais V definitely came in V6 form with the red V badge.

Here's one: 2006 Holden Calais VE V Sports Automatic

As Reaper has pointed out, they've also used it as a special edition with a few extra goodies over the standard Omega.

And here's how the SSV was originally badged: 2006 Holden Commodore VE SS V

And the special edition Commodore V (Omega based and like the Equipe of old): 2006 Holden Commodore VE V

V badge stands for Vroom, simple.

Good work Raj! First bit of useful research I've seen you contribute, thanks.
