Produced by Holden Special Vehicles (HSV), it is part of the larger line of performance vehicles created in collaboration with
legendary Australian racing driver Peter Brock.
The VH Group 3 Brock Commodore was released in 1982 as part of the ongoing partnership between Peter Brock and Holden.
It was based on the Holden Commodore, which was already popular in Australia, but modified and enhanced for superior performance and style.
Some key features of the VH Group 3 Brock Commodore include:
1.Performance Upgrades: The vehicle underwent modifications to its engine, suspension, and exhaust systems to enhance its performance on the road and track.
These upgrades typically resulted in increased horsepower and improved handling.
2. Exterior Styling: The VH Group 3 Brock Commodore featured unique exterior styling elements, including special badging, body kits, and aerodynamic enhancements.
These design cues distinguished it from standard Commodores and gave it a more aggressive and sporty appearance.
3. Interior Comfort: Inside, the car often received upgrades to its interior, including premium materials, sports seats, and special trim options.
These enhancements aimed to provide a more comfortable and luxurious driving experience for occupants.
4. Limited Edition: Like many of Peter Brock's special edition vehicles, the VH Group 3 Brock Commodore was produced in limited numbers,
adding to its exclusivity and collector appeal.
5. Racing Heritage: The collaboration between Peter Brock and Holden was deeply rooted in motorsport,
and the VH Group 3 Brock Commodore paid homage to this heritage.
It often featured design elements inspired by Brock's racing cars and was intended to offer a taste of motorsport performance for enthusiasts.
Overall,
the VH Group 3 Brock Commodore represents a significant chapter in Australian automotive history,
blending performance, style, and motorsport heritage into a unique and highly sought-after vehicle.
Like most Brock's, the VH was available to order, so a few cars left the HDT workshop
with a few custom features, such as the flared guards from the VC,
Stroker Engines and you could even option your car with Stratos seats.
Wind splitters on the front guards for the first time were a standard feature.
Also Brock made a few High Output engines, these were identified by the
Red Momo steering wheel with a white Peter Brock Signature,
but there was only about 9 of these ever made.
