Commodore use basically detuned Corvette engines. The new V6 3.6l has a higher output than the 5.7l used a decade ago. Amazing. The ls1 used in the earlier models was rated at 260kw, with each model upgrade it was increased. I think it is 300kw now with the ls3 6.2l.

@transam0141 Pontiac, Vauxhall, Holden, etc...they are all GM.

@TarranWebster Listen to what he says...he said the one he is driving is a 6.0L...not the 5.7L.
-
Not even 300hp???? Wow Jeremy is dead wrong here. He needs to check his facts and then fire his script writer.
-
@transam0141 neither...... pontiac and vauxhall both got it from holden... australias version of general motors

gazzawey the lumina name in USA refers to a front wheel drive POS that was killed off in the early 2000's. the holden was sold as a gto until pontiac was killed off and the underpinnings are now used for the new camaro that was released in 2010. but the lumina name was apparently used in the middle east for the holden monaro according to wiki but is not at all related to the US lumina.

did pontiac get this from vauxhall or did vauxhall get this from pontiac?

LS2 6.0L always made 400hp in the Monaro/GTO, but never made over 500lb.ft. in stock form. Whoever did their research for this is an idiot. If it was actually from Top Gear I would expect more, but this is just from one of Clarkson's DVDs.

@VIDMASTA07 it was sold in the middle east as chevy lumina ss coupe.
bullshit on less than 300hp its about 370hp.
