Description
Widely regarded as the most desirable Brock Commodore of all, the Holden Dealer Teams VK Group A dubbed the The Blue Meanie by its legion of fans was launched in March 1985, several months after the SS and Group 3 models.
With the move from Group C to the international Group A regulations, Holden were forced to de-stroke their V8 engine from 5044cc to 4979cc and produce no less than 500 examples in order to qualify for the new category, creating a genuine homologation special.
The V8 featured roller rockers, a high-lift camshaft and high performance exhaust to boost power to a very healthy 268 bhp, making this the most powerful Holden yet. Other features included heavy-duty M21 manual transmission, a limited-slip diff, Group 3 suspension package and 16-inch HDT alloy wheels shod with Bridgestone Potenza 225/50VR-16 rubber.
An aggressive body kit consisted of a front air-dam, modified front grille and a boot lid rear spoiler and each of the individually numbered Group A VKs was finished in the highly distinctive Formula Blue colour scheme, offset by HDT Aero wheels.
The interior was also upgraded with a Momo steering wheel, Scheel sports seats and a host of other minor changes.
The VK Group A SS was the fastest production Holden to date, one magazine recording a 0-100 km/h time of just 6.98 seconds
