new Walky supercar

Walkinshaw Series II Supercar | Sydney motor show 2010

[mooks6669]

was there today...thought they could have done a better job on that car...not their usual...wheels could have been a bit nicer

[Tw1n Tur6o]

Looks like only performance wise it has changed a bit and only a little on the body.

[ashbox]

can't say i'm a fan.
grill looks tacky and so do the carbon fibre add ons

[acarmody]

A lot more rare and cheaper than the stupidly priced W427. Still wouldn't buy one.

[1TUFVS]

I'd rather drop a larger engine into my commodore and make it my project than go out and buy a Walkinshaw car (Not that I could afford one anyway).

Shame that there's little supercharger whine too, I love the sound.

[hsv vt s/charge]

that is a let dow...at least a decent "look at me spoiler" and maybe a decal or 2 to advertise some balls!

[My Meanie]

Give me a Blue Meanie any day................. that just looks like a light blue commodore with some after market parts, most of the people on here have better looking cars, the only thing it has going for it is the name

[Jezza]

it says its based off a ssv but it has omega headlight and tail-lights because there are no projector bit in the headlights

and im not a fan of it overall

[redvess]

Sure its not as out there as the W427 but it still looks tuff as, love the rims I know a guy that wants a set of those for his VE maybe you can get them through walkinshaw now

[magoo]

I think it looks very neat and sleek .. big thumbs up here

[04VYSS]

Not bad, but in my opinion it's not their best effort thus far....

[kcpwns]

hmm...i kinda feel let down...specially for the asking price...
not really a great looker and all the power is coming from the supercharger that doesnt even make that sexy whine..
ya pretty much just payin for the name

[club255]

might look a bit better if they built it off the hsv model instead of the commodore model,

[squidsVX]

What a Ugly Duckling - Hope it drives better than it looks

[Dz811]

those rear lights look ugly, if it had no spoiler and the black surround ssv rear lights it would look mint...

maybe change the rims over too, black mesh over chrome dish

[davey g-force]

My thoughts exactly. $117K and you don't even get SSV headlights/tail lights!

The carbon fibre mirrors look like cheap black Omega jobs from far away and the spoiler & bonnet bulge look tacky.

I'd rather just get them to supercharge my car...

[Kieran263]

Nope, the bonnet doesn't suit, if they had raised the entire mid section from the creases that would look tough.
Also the front bar needs to be flat and not raise in the centre.

[bj42turbo]

I actully like it

dazz

[sp001in]

i like it too, but where are the calais front lights?

[bogan_vk]

i like it, but to me i was expecting to see a more in your face style bodykit on it like the old walky.looks a bit too tame

[minux]

Hmm, it is hardly what I would call a supercar. Let's see it do nurburgring in supercar times to back up the statement of "supercar".

[CHEETR]

it was supposed to be a SS-V originally, they ordered the car in its original state from us at booran holden in cheltenham.

but the production was delayed due to sat nav on SS-V and CALAIS-V so i beleive they took hold of the SS to get it ready for the motor show in time.

[melleee]

i like it but i still love the 1st walkinshaw way more

[xCalliba]

i like it but i still love the 1st walkinshaw way more

agreed. im a bit dissapointed with the new walky, not what i expected from the famous 20odd year old lineup of exceptional performance cars.
It just seems to be lacking something though, what about the racey feel.. where is the supercar racing interior, the 'look at me' decals or the 'i bet thats expensive' bodykit? all traits as analogous as that of every "supercar". What i guess im getting at, is it a nice car? Hell yes. Would i pay the asking price? Hell no. Does it deserve the Supercar badge? I dont think so.
Is it just me, or does everyone think they have tried to hard for the supercar badge and steered away from the traditional walkinshaw appeal?
