Details of the Holden VF Commodore has been released and it has many more aerodynamic improvements which are suggested to drop its co-efficient of drag down to 0.30 from the VEII's 0.33

Aerodynamic improvements gained by Holden’s engineers then played a key role in dictating the shapes and flow of the front and rear-end.

It is understood those efforts, in tandem with other initiatives such as a smoother underbody, have succeeded in cutting the Commodore’s crucial fuel-saving aerodynamic coefficient of drag from around 0.33 to a competitive 0.30Cd.
The wheel arch flares have been smoothed out, and the fog light cut-outs have also been brought forward flush with the front bumper.



The boot lid has also been raised and sharpened off further to improve aero separation to reduce drag.



The SS has also seen the removal of the large rear wing, replaced by a smaller low drag lip spoiler.
