2006 holden calais ve v 6 sp automatic 4d sedan

THE STORY Launched in 2006, the Holden VE Calais set a new standard for Australian luxury sedans. Combining cutting-edge technology, refined style, and strong performance, it quickly became the flagship of the VE range. The Calais featured a bold, sleek design with a striking front grille, smooth lines, and chrome accents, giving it a commanding yet elegant presence. Inside it offered a premium experience with leather seating, a woodgrain trim, and a state-of-the-art infotainment system - all focused on driver and passenger comfort. Under the hood, the VE Calais offered a choice of engines, including a 3.6L V6 and the powerful 6.0L V8 in the Calais V, delivering both performance and smooth ride quality. The suspension and handling were finely tuned for a balance of comfort and agility on the road. More than just a luxury sedan, the VE Calais embodied Holden’s commitment to Australian engineering, offering a perfect blend of style, power, and sophistication that remains a hallmark of its era. THE CAR Presenting in Granite Grey, this customised VE Calais V Series 4 is one unique Commodore. Under the hood is the highly desirable 6.0L V8 engine with 340kW at the wheels thanks to a hot Texas Inc LSA 114 Billet camshaft with intake 225 and exhaust 236 and runs a VCM performance OTR intake manifold. The car also has 3” Hi-Flow catalytic converters. The transmission is a 6L80E Billet Stage 4 Hi-Performance Auto, reinforced and rated to 1,000 HP with a 3500 Hi-Stall converter including Billet shafts and Keyhole and Red Eagle components. The car sits low on stylish 20” King Alloy wheels and is a smooth ride with the inclusion of SSSL King Springs and a 3.9 gear racing shift kit for the automatic transmission. On the inside the interior is one-of-a-kind. The car boasts a fully customised Butterscotch Alcantara diamond-quilted cabin that was hand crafted by BNB Autohaus. The treatment extends to the dash, steering wheel, gear knob and headlining and the Holden Lion adorns the headrests. Other features include a factory electric glass sunroof, power windows, electric seats (the driver’s seat has a memory function), dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth, a remote boot/hatch release and a multi-function display. An aftermarket Fusion Marine sound system has been installed as well with dual subwoofers in the boot. The car is clean throughout and one unique, tough Holden.
