There are few cars N\u00fcrburgring specialist Misha Charoudin hasn\u2019t taken around the Nordschleife course, and now he can tick the Holden Commodore off that list (kind of) after taking the Australian muscle on the Green Hell.<\/p>\n

Loaned to Charoudin by its German-based, American owner, the Chevrolet SS \u2013 the US market VF Holden Commodore \u2013 was taken on a hot lap of the Nordschleife by Charoudin, who has logged hundreds of laps at the facility, and competitively races there too.<\/p>\n

Having started its life in Elizabeth, South Australia on Holden\u2019s production line, the Commodore was rebadged as the Chevrolet SS before being exported to the US, with this example now living its life in Germany, complete with a speedometer in the country-correct kilometres per hour.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll let you watch the video to hear Charoudin\u2019s review of the Chevy SS, which in this form as a 2016 model was fitted with Brembo brakes, the updated VF II fascia, as well as standard magnetic dampers and a paddle-operated six-speed automatic transmission.<\/p>\n

Powered by the 6.2-litre \u2018LS3\u2019 engine shared with the C6 Chevrolet Corvette and Camaro SS, the 309kW Chevy SS was sadly not a sales success in the US, despite being heavily promoted as the brand\u2019s NASCAR body of choice from 2013 to 2017.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the first time a Commodore has appeared at the N\u00fcrburgring, with regarded privateer racer Mal Rose having competed at the circuit\u2019s 24 Hour race in the late 2000s with an ex-V8 Supercars VY Commodore.<\/p>\n

N\u00fcrburgring specialist Misha Charoudin is best known for throwing all types of cars around the famed circuit, but this AU Ford Fairlane limo takes the cake.<\/p>\n
