New models - Holden - MonaroVZ Monaro gets blown for UK marketVauxhall's hot-rod version of a HSV VZ Monaro adds an Eaton supercharger13 Sep 2006 By TERRY MARTIN HOLDEN’S British affiliate Vauxhall has released a supercharged version of Holden Special Vehicles’ VZ-Commodore-based Monaro in the UK. A limited-edition, known as the Monaro VXR500, the forced induction increases power for the familiar LS2 6.0-litre V8 engine from 403PS (297kW) to 500PS (368kW), while torque increases from 530Nm to 677Nm! Performed in the UK, the conversion includes a "positive displacement" Eaton supercharger, upgraded fuel system and clutch modifications. Vauxhall claims the £35,995 ($A89,198) VXR500 should have a sub-5.0 second 0-60mph (96.5km/h) time and a top speed of more than 180mph (290km/h). HSV claims there are no plans for a blown LS2 VE-based E Series sedan to be sold Down Under – but watch this space.
