Default Holden's new concept.

This car is freaking awsome. Seems like a Pro-Touring car to me .

Holden Efijy

When I first saw the picture I thought Hot-Rod, but after looking at the article, its a nice blend of hot rod, and pro-touring. A C5 chassis and nice engine...its just the look of it and the interior that make it a hot-rod.

Still a cool car! Thanks for sharing!

Cool as a one-off concept, but I can't help but think "PT Cruiser" if the thing went into production.

Except a whole lot cooler , but it was just built as a "look at us and what we are capable of doing" (and a way to boost employee moral) car for the auto shows.

Unlike the Monaro concept car of 1998, which relied on public suport to go into production, Holden says there are absolutely no plans to build the Efijy.


"It's all about fun," says spokesman Jason Laird. "We want people to be stunned by the car."

"There is no need to look into it for any sort of possibility of production. There is absolutely zero production intent.

"We did it because we could. We just wanted to do a fun show car. It's important designers have a creative outlet."
I agree that it is a hotrod, but I think it is a pro-touring hotrod . Air ride equipped Vette suspension, supercharged LS2, classic style with modern performance. Fits the bill to me, though I wouldn't call it a g-machine.

The steering wheel is on the wrong side.
