New Holden Torana Concept

[zer0for0je]

even though i reacon it would go like the clappers, that thing looks horrid, ide never waste my hard earned cash on that ugly peice of crap, and i pitty anyone that would.

[Pva_Glue]

at first glance I see honda S2000

[Mulkers]

why a small v8 remember the 253 hard reving going nowere piece of junk that no matter how much money you threw at it was never geting any better :thankyou:

I Think the reference was to small car with a V8, not a small V8. 5000? etc

[Trust33]

Now that's nice. A TT HFV6 in a great looking car that isn't tank sized. Where do I sign up

Up until recently, I really disliked the local offerings. Pushrods and SOHC with no proper VVT were the best you could get. Pathetic for this day and age really. Now they actually make something worth buying. It looks like the Aussie car industry is finally getting its act together.

looks are deciving...

[GRUNTN]

typical holden making the past look like a fanny in a ( rooster) **** fight (future)

[nmcmahon83]

If they did produce it, i'm sure they would cut out all that fancy shmancy shite like tv screen. Either way, it's an interesting CONCEPT (which is what it is meant to be).

Like someone else said... The Monaro was never going to be produced... :rollseyes:

[Bl4cK32]

How about Holden be true to the origional design concept of the late 60's and early seventies....

Give me the LC GTR any days.....MMMmmm GTR

(True torana fans will know there is a gtr, not just the japanese Hi-po version of skyline )

[PHATR32]

id settle for a typhoon any day.

Put on some ol' GTR badges & a triple Strommied Red motor in it & I'll take one!

Very nice car

Be good to see some thing local that acualy competes with the import range.

280KW will make it a nice little weapon

[KILL HSV]

it'd be pretty quick but its not a torana, does anyone know what they do with the concept cars after the shows are over?

and PHAT32 i love the typhoon ass well but i just can't get over how stupid that name is. it would be debadged quicker than a gtr in bankstown if i got one

[Gus-]

meh, they're not putting it into production, it's just to show how crap the company is (show the world what they can do in other words)

[Count Grantleyish]

this new torana looks so gayer than riced up 'bishi lancer!

[Cubes]

I prefer the old L34's.. SLR5000's... Gotta luv that hard edge raw V8 feel.

Still remember when my old man restored one when I was young..

Drove down the street with no doors/interior/seats & dash sitting in the back watching dad sit on his milk crate as he hooned around the block.

Went pretty damn hard for a mild 5ltr with a 500 holley sitting on top.

The idle was awesome.

Even had the old' gold hot wires if any 1 remembers them

Canary yellow with the black bonnet etc.. Was a damn nice car when he finished with it.

Then what did mum say "Its not an old mans car its a young mans car, Sell it!"

[SKYLINED]

What i would like to know is how much bigger can a holden badge get?

Scott

When the badge is the car!!!

[martydaman]

the article said that they need to sell 120,000 if they want to put it in mass production and for it to be economically feasible... good luck coz it aint gonna happen

[crack]

saw it on the news. they said the color was (get ready to laugh) "MAN PINK"

[knore]

bah like holden was ever going to release a twin turbo, the turbo astra was a far enough jump for them

[pentae]

I think the reason holden are toying with the idea is because ford released the XR6T and said "CHECK MATE!"

Hardon are simply trying to gauge enthusiasm for the car..

[homer2288]

whats with the colour...it looks more like queer car for the straight eyes..eek
