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

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.
