FactWhen Brazil's Omega came back in 2010, the first 600 units were a special "Fittipaldi Edition," named for 1970s Formula One world champion Emerson Fittipaldi.
For the third-generation Omega C, announced on 4 July 2007, General Motors again looked to Holden: the car was a rebadged Holden Berlina (VE) powered by the 3.6-liter Alloytec V6 with a 4-speed GM 4L60-E automatic, on the GM Zeta platform, and imports ceased in 2008 because of the 2008 financial crisis. The Omega was re-introduced in September 2010, the first 600 sold as the "Omega Fittipaldi Edition" named after Brazilian Formula One champion Emerson Fittipaldi, with specifications reflecting the Australian Holden Calais (VE Series II) except for suspension settings tuned for Brazil's roads and an engine modified to run on E25; imports ceased after 2011. The page gives no power figures.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

This Australian-built Holden wearing Chevrolet badges wasn't just a Brazilian family car: it served as Brazil's presidential state car, carrying both Cardoso and Lula.
When German production of the Omega ended, Chevrolet do Brasil kept it alive with a locally-built 4.1-litre straight-six — tuned by Lotus.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
