A VIP Car Its The Holden WL Statesman
Size is important in this market, and nothing has been done to hide the presence of the Holden Statesman. They’re overstated, so the neighbours won’t miss one in your driveway.Not a lot has changed with the interior of either long wheelbase car with the exception that leather trim is now standard on the Statesman, . There are new instrument graphics, a lighter colour scheme inside.The thing is, equipment levels were already very high, especially in the Caprice, which continues to carry everything from full leather to climate control air-con, a DVD player with screen mounted in the back of the front head rest. Then, of course, there’s the amount of interior room available. The back seat has vast leg room and is a sensational place to travel if you can find someone willing to do driving duties.There’s also electronic brake assist to increase levels of braking and corner brake control make braking smoother when the wheels are rotating at different speed around corners.Otherwise, there are front and side airbags on both Statesman and Caprice anti-whiplash head restraints and seat belt pre-tensioners adding quite a comprehensive passive safety system to go with the vastly upgraded active safety of the WL.The engine has dual, chain-driven camshafts driving four valves per-cylinder, 32-bit engine management, electronic throttle control and durability features including a forged steel crankshaft and oil cooling jets under each piston. The cylinder banks are arranged at 60 degrees, doing away with the need for a balance shaft as on the old engine with its 90-degree angle and inherent balance problems The Alloytec 190 adds continuously variable phasing for inlet and exhaust valves and a variable length intake manifold and ups the outputs from 175kW to 190kW at 6500rpm and 340Nm at 3200rpm. It is matched to GM’s 5L40 five-speed auto to take advantage of the extra grunt.Front suspension has been tweaked mildly, with the anti-roll bar pick-up point now fixed by a ball-joint instead of a rubber mount for increased responsiveness.
