Calais celebrates 60 too

A MONTH after releasing similar limited-edition versions of its Captiva, Rodeo and Commodore models to celebrate six decades in business this year, Holden has now produced the value-added VE Calais V 60th Anniversary Special Edition.

On sale now in both V6 and V8 automatic guises, priced at $56,790 and $61,790 respectively, the latest Holden special costs an extra $2500 but is distinguished by four 19-inch "SuperSport" alloy wheels, chrome-surround exterior door-handles, an electric sunroof and a "60th anniversary" rear badge.



Inside, the commemorative Calais V also scores an Onyx/Light Urban trim combination, alloy-faced pedals, silver highlights on leather steering wheel spokes and 60th anniversary floor mats.

It is available in just three metallic colours: Karma (teal), Evoke (dark grey) and Phantom (black).

“The Calais V 60th Anniversary Special Edition is another example of Holden’s commitment to value with levels of luxury and sophistication set to rival any vehicle in its segment,” said GM Holden director of marketing Philip Brook.

“The Calais V 60th Anniversary Special Edition is the perfect vehicle for the individual or family looking for something extra special, along with the drive capabilities, safety and performance of the award winning VE Commodore.”
