Well, they didn’t last long. Less than a week after Holden’s Commodore ‘Special Editions’ were publically revealed it has been confirmed they have more or less sold out.

Known as the Motorsport Edition, Director and Magnum, the special editions were based on the SS-V Redline, Director and Magnum respectively and were intended to celebrate the end of V8 Commodore production after almost 40 years.

Just 1200 Motorsport Editions, 360 Directors and 240 Magnums were offered for the Australian market, with a further 151, 51 and 51 respectively heading to New Zealand, and it appears that demand has vastly outstripped supply.

Poppitt had further words of warning for potential 2017 Commodore buyers: get in quick, or risk missing out. All remaining Commodores have been allocated to individual dealerships and a significant number – particularly in the case of V8s – already have customers’ names against them.
