New Holden Torana Concept

[nmcmahon83]

Hi guys, just saw on the Motor Show web site that Holden has unveiled the new Torana concept... I think it's based on a GM sports concept but it's packing the 3.6l V6... with TWIN TURBOS. Claimed power is 280kW.

I'm not sure how the drive train is set up, but i'd assume it to be FR (i hope anyway).

Apparently there will be a full write up in tomorrows Daily Telegraph Cars Guide.

Cheers.

Do you come with the car????

Anyway, looks nice... hopefully FR... V6TT would be a bonus!

[Kaido_RR]

just heard, that there is no plan on producing the car

[Laurence]

Hmmmm... remind me, was there any plan to produce the Monaro?

[martydaman]

its probably another pipedream like the SSX commo... i admitt it would be an interesting car... i wonder what it'd retail for?

If that white interior never sees the light of day it will be a good thing :spew:

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.

Agreed!

A V8 option would be nice, but since it's Holden, it would be the LS1 or LS2. Not my cup of tea - especially when there's a 3.6L TT V6 available. I think it would become like the BOSS engine for the Falcon - the 4.0 turbo engine is simply better all round. Ford had to offer that in their Falcon range because people expect a V8. In a "new" model like the Torana, they could just make it a 6 cylinder platform.

Guys, I always promised myself that if Holden bring out a Twin Turbo Commodore or variant that I will buy one.

Here's hoping that when my lease runs out on the R34 that the TTV6 will replace it.

[Nizmo]

Okkkay own up - who would consider buying one? :slap: you all!!

[MM2death]

i doubt anyone here could afford it, it would be pretty pricey. Head rest TV's, 20 inch rims, 8way electric seats... etc would make it expensive (even if they become factory options)

My bet would be that it wont get off the ground, doesnt look economically feasable to produce in my opinion
