That front end looks quite ugly IMO.

...It'd still be a horny car to drive though - 370 KW!!

[1991_Vn2nV]

I actually quite like the front end, awesome vehicle.

Is it production or concept?

[CSP]

eeeek! That interior is so tacky!!! Why do they spoil otherwise classy cars with shit like that?

[STEALTHY™]

concept obviously.

LOL, I agree. Very subtle - NOT!!!

[1991_Vn2nV]

concept obviously.

I just checked and its production.

It will go on sale towards the middle of 2008 priced somewhere between $140,000 and $170,000

HSV W427 customers to get ?unique? experience - drive.com.au

It will be delivered to HSV like a normal commodore, and from there the car is hand built, not sent to the production line like the other HSV's.

Yeah i just saw the other thread. If i had a dollar for every time holden said they were going to put a model into production tho......

[VLDavo]

meh dont think id pay 170k for a holden...

id rather save the extra 100k and buy a lambo

[andyman]

car looks ver nice, the only thing i dont like about the interior is that the seats should have a second colour like the dark/grey to match the rest of the interior,

any one that turbos one of those should be made an australian hero

[Sabbath']

Anybody else think that the front looks like the rear of the clubby, where the exhaust cutouts are?

[Aggro_VE]

Production? if so their already sold lol. Remember the 427 coupe few years back that fizzled, sold out before production even started! so those disappointed buyers will have another chance at owning a 427 just with an extra 2 doors

[NickVR]

I think it looks awesome. The front sort of reminds me of an Audi.

[Holdens Rule]

Wasn't the 427 coupe more of a race car than a road car? I thought it was released with very few creature comforts like heater and carpets etc. Could be wrong though.

The $$ is too much for a Holden, still cheaper then a BMW M3.

[Emackulation]

I want to buy one of these in about 10 yrs time.

[1991_Vn2nV]

But imagine what HSV will be releasing in 10 years time

[CSP]

And imagine how much fuel will be in 10 years time lol

10 years ago it was around 80 cents a litre!

This car should be the GTS....................
