Melbourne’s auto show is host to Holden’s 60th anniversary celebrations, and to mark the occasion, the Australian brand has revealed its Coupe 60. Designed to combine sports and luxury for the momentous occasion, the Coupe 60 takes from the best of what Holden has to offer.

Shorter than the VE sedan by nearly 60mm, the Coupe 60 combines stout proportions with taut styling that gives both the impression of race-track speed and road-going comfort. Huge 21″ wheels wrapped in high-performance Kumhos give solid traction, which is a necessary considering the 6.0L V8 under the hood.

Special four-point harness restraints at all four seating positions add to the race-feel while still maintaining comfort and safety. Special details in the interior or highlighted with a distinctive shiny red leather, and metal surfaces are finished in dark gunmetal and satin chrome.

The designers hope the car will make it to production, and since the Holden line could use a new Monaro (GTO in the States), maybe that’s where this car will find a home.

It's too big.

If they would flatten it a bit have the wheels sitting higher in the arches, they would be on to something. Also extend the headlights so they are wider across but thinner.

edit: get rid of that medallion sized front badge too.

Looks nice. Front bar is way to much like a normal VE commodore, should be more unique for a "New Monaro". The back looks a bit too arched, very similar to the Mercedes CLK coupe. Interior looks very nice, ,love those seats. Love the pillarless look between the windows, not sure how strong that would be for the roof though.... Overall looks good though for a concept.

It's been some time but it looks like they got this one right.

Nice one!

i dont like the interior but that thing looks dead sxc

Agreed. It is a typical Holden Interior. The seats aren't too bad :) but those rear seats look uncomfy as hell, not very friendly if you want a quickie with the missus in the back :yes:

The VE shape lends itself well to the coupe design. I think it looks good. Have you guys seen the LS7 sedan HSV made? http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleD...ArticleID=49261

Yeah. It's about time they popped an LS7 into something over here :P

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
