With the world at the brink of financial breakdown due the global financial crisis, it seems that bankruptcy isn’t the only concern among businessmen. In the midst of a crumbling economy, car buyers still have the time to be a little more caring to Mother Earth.
Everyone’s going eco-friendly these days and with car consumers ranting about the prices of fuel or their decision to switch to green cars, V8 power groups like the Holden Special Vehicles (HSV) keep working on more ways on how to develop greener cars.
Holden Special Vehicle’s famous E-Series Commodore range, commonly known as the E-Series 2, gets an update. The car company will kick the power of its 6.2L V8 engine up by 2.5% while improve fuel economy by 5%.
The revised models will enter the Australian market in September, as well as the other countries where HSV cars are being sold, such as in the Middle East and the United Kingdom. While the cars will still feature the 6.2LV8 engine, they are expected to consume as much as one liter of fuel for every 100km. It clearly improves fuel economy higher than 16.8mpg. From 425HP, the revamped engines will now get 430-436HP, according to a report published in Drive.
Of course, to set the newly boosted models apart from the current line up, the new E-Series 2 will receive a series of minor adjustments in the exterior according to the Sports Cars News blog. These changes will match those planned for the facelift of the VF Holden Commodore range that are also set to come out in September.
