Anyone got decent pics of the Director interior?

Director

The Director collects the following extras on top of the Calais V V8:

20-inch black forged alloy wheels
FE3 sports suspension
Magnetic Ride Control suspension
Brembo brakes
Cross-drilled rotors front and rear
Premium sports seats (based on the Chevrolet SS) - So looks like the same as the Motorsport edition
Phantom black roof
Gurney style lip spoiler
Tyre pressure monitoring system
Hood vents
Black body side moulding
Engine oil cooler
Director badging
Embroidered IP insert
Black grille with LS3 logo
Red lower grille surround
Red decal on rear fascia
Motorsport floor mats
Individually-numbered build plate
Let’s address the elephant in the room first – the name. Director was a controversial name choice given Holden’s murky history at times with Peter Brock. With that in mind, Holden did approach the Brock family to seek permission to use the name and they happily obliged. They felt it was the right name to use for the car.

In terms of performance and equipment, the Director picks up the same performance mods as the Motorsport, sans the high rate subframe bush, which is exclusive to the Motorsport.

That means it gets the Brembo brake package, functional hood vents, Magnetic Ride Control, paddle-shifters on the steering wheel and the driver mode control system.

1200 - Motorsport

360 - Director

240 - Magnum

The 2017 Holden Commodore Motorsport will sit in a sedan body modelled on the SS-V Redline. The Director will also be a sedan, but modelled off the Calais V. The final special edition will be the Magnum, which was designed to offer performance above and beyond the SS-V Redline ute.

Kicking off the price range will be the Magnum, starting from $59,290 (plus on-road costs) for the six-speed manual, with the six-speed automatic an extra $2200. That’s a $8300 premium over the SS-V Redline ute.

Next up is the Motorsport, which is priced from $61,790 (plus on-road costs) for the six-speed manual, and an extra $2200 for the six-speed automatic. That’s a $7300 premium over the SS-V Redline manual.

Finally, the Director will only be available with a six-speed automatic and is priced from $63,940 (plus on-road costs), which is $8000 above the Calais V V8.

Limited is exactly what all three will be, with only 1200 Motorsports being produced (with an additional 151 for New Zealand – a nod to Greg Murphy’s car number and the grade of wool used on the floor (just kidding))

Hi all

Am I right in thinking that the Motorsport edition Redline sedan and Calais Director get the same set of Brembo brakes and these Brembo brakes are better than the existing Brembo brakes that the SSV Redline sedan currently been offered at Holden, including cross drilling which is not supplied on the standard SSV Redline?

Does the Calais Director have the Bi-modal exhaust?

I hppe the Calais Director doesn't have the silly white stripe on the seats that the normal Calais has.

go to the Holden site for the Grey Colour (you can choose any paint colour and see what it looks like) but this might help



and
there appears to be no complete interior pics anywhere (those I have seen show both the white and black door cards and dash pads... from outside)

by the way... Holden are calling it Commodore Director not Calais Director

[CALDIR]

go to the Holden site for the Grey Colour

Hi Smitty

Thanks for your reply. Yes I have seen that picture you have posted. I am really trying to see the Motorsport Redline in son of a gun to determine if it looks as bad as the white and red versions due to the horrible choice of stickers that Holden put on the cars.

I tried to secure a Director today and I am getting told that they are sold out, WTF?...it just got released today and I was also told the price is fixed at $76,990 for the Redline Motorsport.

I was then told that I can choose a Motorsport Redline in any color I want, I said great send me a pic of it in son of a gun and they tell me they don't have any pics and if I wait till June 2017 to see one chances are they will have all been sold off.

Officially released today, info first came out on them around 9-10 months ago so there's been a lot of time for people to get deposits in...

Doesn't appear to be anything in the Wags department? The director & the magnum are very tempting

[HOTSV8]

Just got quoted 72k on road for manual motorsport . add 2k for auto . Think i will go LSA club sport for that amount .
