Holden VL Commodore Model History

Released in 1986, the VL Commodore marked a significant shift for Holden, introducing the Nissan-sourced RB-series inline-six engines and optional turbocharging — a combination that later cemented the VL Turbo’s cult status among Australian enthusiasts. The model’s aerodynamic styling, revised interior, and strong performance quickly made it one of the most iconic Commodores of the era, with factory turbo variants now being highly collectible.
