About This Product:
The Holden ZB Commodore competed in the Supercars Championship between 2018 and 2022 for five seasons and significant success was enjoyed by some of the biggest teams in the category who raced the model including Triple Eight Race Engineering, Walkinshaw Andretti United and Erebus Motorsport.
During those years, the ZB was a nemesis for rival Ford teams, winning 87 races to finish in third place on the all time race wins record list, behind the Holden VF and VE/VEII Commodores. A gargantuan 238 podiums was also claimed by the ZB along with 59 poles. It was clear that this Commodore was built for race pace and not necessarily one lap speed. Rounding out the list of achievements for the ZB includes 2 drivers championships and an incredible four Bathurst 1000 victories in 2018, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
Star drivers to win races in the ZB included Shane van Gisbergen who cemented his status as one of the greats of the sport when he claimed the record for the most race wins in a season in 2022 along with Jamie Whincup, Craig Lowndes, Chaz Mostert, David Reynolds, Anton De Pasquale, Will Brown, Nick Percat, Scott Pye, Broc Feeny, Garth Tander, Lee Holdsworth, Paul Dumbrell and Steven Richards.
Authentic Collectables are proud to present this special collectable scale model, the DNA of ZB Commodore Celebration Livery celebrates the racing achievements for the ZB in the premier category of Australian motorsport, featuring a livery on this edition by renowned motorsport designer Peter Hughes.
"Once again, it was an honour to design this livery for Authentic Collectables and Holden fans celebrating the success of the ZB Commodore, the last model raced by Holden in the Supercars Championship". said Hughes.
"This livery doesn't use the usual corporate Holden look, the ZB was a model that never really wore the lion much so emphasis has been placed on the model name and creating a slick, modern design. The livery itself is a combination of ideas I have had for a long time and for me, it's the best ZB design I have produced that never physically raced on track".
Peter Hughes is enormously respected across the Australian motorsport industry and internally here at Authentic Collectables, he was the perfect man for this job. His design looks incredible and the model will too, especially with the liquid silver finish.
This 1:18 scale model has been produced as a sealed body with clear windows and detailed interior in a limited edition with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity, signed by the livery designer, Peter Hughes.
