Holden Calais Engines and Transmissions
Each Holden Calais engine here is a large-capacity gasoline V8 sending power rearward through an automatic transmission, as in the 5.0 AT and 5.7 AT sedans. Expect effortless low-rev pulling rather than high-rev urgency; this drivetrain layout suits long trips and towing, but fuel use stays high around town.
