Holden Statesman / Caprice

WL Series

Specifications

Engines:

• 3.6L V6: Alloytec 190
• 5.7L V8: GenIII LS1 V8
• 5.7L V8: High Output 250kW V8

Transmissions:

• 4 speed automatic (V8): 4L60
• 5 speed automatic (Alloytec 190 only): 5L40

Suspension:

• Front: MacPherson strut. Direct acting stabiliser bar. Progressive rate coil springs.
• Rear: Control-Link Independent Rear Suspension (IRS). Semi-trailing arm. Progressive rate miniblock coil springs. Stabiliser bar.
• Self Levelling Suspension Option: An electronically controlled self-levelling system that maintains the vehicle at a constant trim height, independent of load.

Brakes:

• Front: Ventilated disc and finned twin-piston caliper.
• Rear: Disc
• Anti-lock Braking System (ABS): Bosch ABS8 - 4 sensor, 3 channel (front left, front right, rear). On vehicles with traction control 4 sensor, 4 channel

Electronic Stability Program (ESP):

• Bosch ESP8

Traction Control:

When sensors detect imminent rear wheel spin, engine torque is reduced. If one wheel is about to spin, braking is applied to transfer torque to wheel with better traction.

Steering:

• Type: Variable ratio rack and pinion.
• Turning circle: 11.5m
• Turns lock to lock:

Wheels/Tyres:

• Wheels: 16 x 7 inch alloy wheels for Statesman; 17 x 8 inch alloy wheels for Caprice
• Tyres: P225/65 R16 95V for 16 inch wheels; P225/50 R17 94V for 17 inch wheels
