Default Holden Efijy Concept




At the Australia International Motor Show in Sydney Holden released their Efijy concept. The design of the car is based on the 1953 Holden FJ. The car is based on a 70 cm stretched Corvette C6 chassis. It is powered by a supercharged 6.0-litre V8 which produces 652 bhp and 775 Nm of torque. It's clear this car will stay in a concept stage and will never be mass-produced.

If only Holden actually put some of these concepts into production - they are much more exciting than what they currently offer.

Looks great IMO, and agree with dani on the Exelero comparison.

Whaohh... one can say that the Batmobile style is quite trendy these days!! Between the Exelero and this one...

But it is true that it looks pretty cool. Certainly not the type of car for high speed cornering but more for long cruising. And what about the length. 5.20m :shock: not that easy to park at the supermarket !

Holy crap that is so damn hot what a shame it will never meet production and the power and drivetrain :shock: I just wonder if that engine will get used I hope to God it does some day. I love the replica FJ steering wheel to

That car is so fucking cool.

It's got scarface written all over it. Imagine it in Ferrari-red, or black with red flames like those American Hot Rods.

Fucking cool. Really fucking cool.

Fuckin' awesome!!!

It would be amazing if they would produce it. A car with top technology but with a look from the 50's

At least the idea was great. 8)
