1999; Holden Suburban 1500 series with a V8 petrol engine 190kW & 447Nm.

Repsol Motor Oil (who sponsor Michael Doohan's formula 1 motorcycle team) have been using this GM Suburban 2500 4x4 as a support vehicle in the 1998 Round Australia Rally.

The GM Suburban 4X4 is a "full-size", i.e. huge, American four wheel drive. Nine people can be seated in three rows of seats and still leave as much luggage room as in most other 4X4s. The Suburban was brought to Sydney for the International Motor Show (Oct' 1997). GM started selling it in Australia in February 1998.
