you might have forgotten this one :)

more a concept than a prototype - but still....


was at Holdens HQ talking to a mate who works there last Friday
... standing next to that. Looks far better in the flesh :)

ps.. that link up top is poison
there is a popup that tries to incorporate an add-on into both browers
(FF and Chrome in my case) which is 'nasty' (according our IT guys at work)

OK, I've deleted the link as others are still having issues with unwanted downloads.

When you look at the GTR-X, you can't help wondering if, with modern mechanicals and safety standards, that shape wouldn't work even now.

In 1970, it was absolutely revolutionary. Today I think the design could still hold its own. Opinions?

add a LS3, drop it 50mm and hoist it on a set of 17x8s
and stand back.. it would sell !

oh.. and one thing
I did get to see that list (when my PC was not being assaulted by malware)
and
the WA Holden is a plain figment of someone's imagination.

I saw the WA and it aint like that ;)

How about the ZB v6 VXR nose to make it different to the ZB fwd (mazda)?

Would have been a limited market but how cool and special would have surviving ones and modded ones been today, oh and how expensive they would have been .
Would have been a another true aussie sports car along with bolwells.
