Overview
Changes to the VE Series II SS are minimal, but worthwhile. Exterior enhancements include a larger re-shaped grille, revised headlamp shape, deck-lid lip and spoiler, plus 18-inch alloys. Inside there are sports front seats, and the new iQ system - noted for its audio capabilities and ease of use - sitting below distinctive circular air vents. Instruments are white on red. The 6.0-litre AFM V8 (E85 compliant) develops 270kW/530Nm on petrol, and returns 12.2L/100km through the six-speed manual transmission. With a complete list of safety features, including ABS, stability/traction control, brake assist and six airbags, the five-star ANCAP rating is fitting.
