Holden Commodore

Holden Commodore
Debut series	1991 Hot Wheels
Produced	1991 only
Designer	Larry Wood
Number	9713

Description

The Hot Wheels casting resembles the motorsport variation of the second generation Holden Commodore 4-door sedan designed and built by Holden Special Vehicles (HSV), GM Holden's performance car wing. The Labeling 'SV' on the door panels and the more streamlined appearance is the indicator that this car is not an ordinary Holden Commodore, but the HSV 'SV' series VN ClubSport. The Hot Wheels casting most closely resembles the HSV VN ClubSport from its front bumper, grille and the lines in the bodywork.

Ironically, the Hot Wheels casting was launched the same year that the Holden VN Commodore was taken out of production.

The Holden Commodore was later released in 1996 as a new casting with a light bar which inserts through a hole in the roof, and renamed Police Cruiser.
