Description[]
The Holden SS Commodore (VT) was the sports package of the Holden VT-series Commodore sedan. The Hot Wheels model depicts the pre-1999, pre-facelift model.(In other words a 1997-1998 model). The SS was offered as a V8 with manual transmission or the optional Automatic transmission, or a V6 package available with an Automatic transmission only. The Hot Wheels casting replicates a Grand Prix-styled race track iteration of the Commodore with a large motorsport-styled rear wing and interior roll cage. The base of the casting reads "SS Commodore (VT)".
