Walkinshaw releases commemorative Bathurst package

- Special Edition VE Supercharger WP230 LS3/L98
- Special Edition Cat Back Exhaust
- Super Sport Steel Cat Headers

- Carbon fibre exhaust tips
- WP Number Plate Set
- WPP Sill Plates
- WPP Lowering Kit

- Special Bathurst Anniversary Interior Badging
- Special Bathurst Anniversary Super Charger Build Number Badging
- Limited Edition History of Bathurst Book
- Special Bathurst Anniversary Pack Certificate
According to press material from the company, the LS3-engined HSV fitted with this kit develops 480kW and 802N. For the L98-powered Commodore SS the output is 460kW and 780Nm. According to the company the power and torque hike is around 50 per cent more than the stock figures. The purchase price of $21,950 includes the cost of labour to fit the pack, which is also covered by Walkinshaw Performance's driveline warranty.
