VE HSV Video

[BadMac]

Here is the SSV and the white one which look different.
Note I also have posted what is probably the Calais-V and it is also not the same as the white car.

Then the mask ups were for the media.

Its not a HSV. Many things link it to be different to models we have seen, none can legitamately link it to be a HSV.

Alright i think we have now established that it not the HSV and the people at drive were wrong, what a surprise......Anyways can we now enjoy the Video for what it is, a moveing picture of a VE. For those of us who havent seen em driving around the street i thought it was a good find and only labled the thread with the letters HSV cause thats what i orignally belived it to be.

Anyone notice that the brake calipers are at the back of the front wheel ...not the front like most commodores

a saw a ve for a 2 second glimpse the other day, 1 thing i did make out was the big red hsv calipers, however had no spoiler, im guessing this it to make way for the car bra?

 

[hotrod32]

Maybe not because there has been photos taken of VE's like the SS and they have rear spoilers on them....Maybe 1 model in the HSV lineup doesnt use a rear spoiler, or they were just testing the brakes on a different model, or they havent fitted the rear spoiler so that it isnt given away as being a HSV? Who knows only 1 week to go now anyway.

Should read:

Anyone notice that the brake calipers are trailing...not leading like most commodores

But yes, that is true - new suspension all round (front and rear) is the reason. Although I am still disappointed they didn't go with the new state of the art technology in the front suspension like they were going to on the new Zeta platform. Cost was the main reason I believe. However we will still have a much better setup that is currently used. The VZ is still running on 1970's technology LOL!!!

But Im sure everyone knew what I meant...at least I didnt call it a thingy (real technical term).
