Holden VL Berlina Turbo Model History
Released in 1986, the Holden VL Commodore marked a major turning point for the model line, most notably through its adoption of the Nissan-sourced RB30 engine. In turbocharged form, the VL quickly became one of the fastest Australian production sedans of its era, earning legendary status for its tuning potential and straight-line performance. Berlina variants added an extra layer of comfort and trim over the Executive models, blending performance with a more refined interior. Today, turbo VLs are among the most sought-after modern Australian classics, prized for their motorsport heritage, strong aftermarket support and unmistakable 1980s character.
