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

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
