One of the most recognisable Holden Flagship sedan has been discontinued from production as part of the recently released Holden Commodore VE II line up. After successful 36-year period at the top, Holden Statesman will no longer be filling Holden Dealerships showrooms. Taking its place will be more luxurious Holden Caprice along the side of newly introduced Holden Caprice VE V with even more higher equipment levels adding sunroof, Bose Audio with integrated duel DVD screens in the rear, three zone climate and NAPPA leather interior. According to Holden research Caprice badge was more appealing to far broader customer base. This is not the first time Holden has decided to axe its luxury model from its line-up. Who knows, it may well return yet again somewhere down the line.

Celebrating 25 years of BMW M3 what better way to recreate the level of excitement that sends shivers down the spine than adding hard-core M3 version to the already excellent M3 line up. Well BMW did surprise everybody with its race purpose build vehicle E92 M3 GTS. Individual coloured, its bright orange paintwork can be seen miles away screaming “don’t mess with me, I’m different” to other wannabe Autobahn challengers. After all, this purpose build vehicle has taken its first footsteps under watchful BMW know-how engineers making it almost indestructible. Its already potent V8 engine has been bored out to 4.4 Litre capacity increasing its output by 22kW whilst adding extra 40Nm to its final figure bringing the total power to 331kW and 440Nm of torque. Slicing 0.2 seconds from its super quick 4.6 seconds in a standard form. Assuming that this is insignificant would be very wrongful, as any improvement in sub 5-second category is not that easy and should be considered impressive. All of the extra power is channeled through tuned BMW M3 M DCG dual clutch seven-speed transmission. Calling its upgraded larger calliper fully ventilated brakes equipped with six piston in the front and 4 pistons in the rear as improved would be the wrong word selection and highly inadequate for the superior delivery of braking power way above already potent ability in standard form. Suspension recalibration also contributed to lower stance reducing the overall ground clearance by another few millimetres, featuring adjustable dampers, coil-over springs set-up and stiffened up rear axle assembly. Furthermore, its Dynamic Stability Control and ABS have been tuned to fit the purpose further improving its racetrack characteristics.
