Holden Hurricane
Thought some of you might be interested to see this - apparently Holden have just finished restoring their first ever concept car, the Hurricane. Climate control, rear vision camera, 4 wheel disc brakes...so far ahead of its time. And of course, such a beautiful body. Such a shame that they never sold it.

Probably a good thing they never sold it, looks like something that escaped the abortion bucket.

I saw this in the paper today. Amazing looking car and so far ahead if its time. So good to see it restored
Bends spacetime
Tells it like it is.
That car was never destined to be sold. It was a combined design exercise and an introduction of the then brand spanking new Aussie Holden V8 253. I was never a fan of the design but love the GTR-X. Still it's a irreplaceable piece of Australian motoring history and should be preserved.

Obviously Unsensible
totally agree on the colour and tech being good.
it looks like how prototypes are now. really out there, and strange.
how about we make the pedals out of sticky rubber and the shoes with steel spikes. at least my shins would like that
So is that 8 wheel disc/k brakes? lol. With regards to the rear vision camera though, it would need it with no rear window there
In all seriousness though, I personally can't appreciate the design of it in terms of aesthetics. Each to their own I guess
They have a good story on it in the current wheels mag, the 253 in it is pretty crazy with external cam drive for example. Well worth a read.
I love it! thats an awesome car, Gotta remember its 60's styling theres lots of styles from the 60's that look horrid now. But the mid mount v8 and transaxle! that is cool!

Piece of history there fellas, and way ahead of it's time.
Your mum's new boyfriend

Still cool for 1969 concept.
