Holden Monaro / Coupe
V2 Series
V2 Series
October 2001 - August 2004
(V2 Series II: December 2002 - July 2003)
(V2 Series III: August 2003 - August 2004)
The new millennium Monaro made its debut at the Sydney International Motor Show, scene of its sensational unveiling as a design concept in 1998. The striking new coupe made the transition from concept to reality in just 22 months. Embracing advanced design, engineering and flexible manufacturing processes, it showcases Holden's commitment to technological and creative leadership.
Some changes introduced with the Series II include: Fresh interior styling treatments which include a new instrument panel with binnacle-style clusters and multi-function digital displays and a new steering wheel design. In addition, body structure refinements combine with powertrain improvements to offer better-than-ever build precision, performance and safety.
The CV8 is now powered by the 235kW High Output V8 from the VY Commodore SV8 and SS. Added to the standard equipment listing for CV6 are "twilight sentinel" automatic headlamp control and road speed sensitive intermittent wipers. Both models receive high-feature Blaupunkt audio systems. The CV6 now has headlamps off programmable time delay, while the CV8 offers a six disc in-dash CD player and audible Rear Park Assist, which is enabled automatically when reverse gear is selected. Four ultrasonic sensors mounted in the rear bumper trigger audible beeps which increase in frequency as the vehicle gets closer to obstacles behind it, alerting the driver to their presence and proximity. Optional on both models are satellite navigation and the Holden Assist 24-hour satellite security and support system.
Interior upgrade includes a new instrument panel, centre console and steering wheel, and new design transmission shifter and handbrake. There is also a new mobile phone power outlet under the centre console. The new instrument cluster features a large multi-function digital display (single or triple-window, depending on model), which displays information such as radio station display, PRNDL gear selected indicator, trip computer with stopwatch function, service reminders and a help facility.
Recalibrations and shift revisions improve the performance of automatic transmissions, and V8 transmissions have been upgraded for greater durability. Service intervals for V6 engines have been extended to 15,000 km from 10,000km. Additionally, the supercharged V6 is now fitted with a "dampolator" - a combined accessory drive isolator and crankshaft bending damper which enhances engine smoothness above 4000rpm, resulting in a freer-revving engine character.
Major changes introduced with the Series III include: Dropping of CV6 model (averaged only around 5% of sales), and the CV8 is now powered by the 245kW High Output V8, with a front strut brace. There is now the added safety benefit of active head restraints, the Monaro is now equipped with audible and visual driver's seatbelt warning, and steering column modifications assist in reducing the risk of occupant injury in a frontal crash. There is now also an integrated rear glass radio antenna.
