Holden Coupe 60 Concept

Undoubtedly, this is the body, or something very similar that will wear the next Monaro badge. We have heard Holden say before that this was only a concept, but this car is not that far from ready to go. The Coupe 60 is a two door pillarless car that is built on the same platform as the Commodore, only shorter, with new sheet metal and a completely new cabin. This is a race inspired car, with plenty of styling cues that reflect its potential. It explores the limits of Holden's current rear-wheel drive capabilities, combining racing looks and technology into a road going sportscar experience. Its sophisticated appearance is delivered through simple and powerful design, highlighted by the pillarless construction and V8 supercar inspired cockpit layout and side-exiting chambered exhaust system with billet alloy tips.

Almost 60mm shorter than the VE sedan, and sitting on 21-inch centre lock alloy wheels with unique design Kumho high performance semi-slick tyres, Coupe 60 captures all that's exciting about the Holden DNA. Other racing derived enhancements include full flat under body, rear underbody air diffuser and functional rear deck-lid spoiler with unique designed LED tail lamps. The interior also has several unique features. They include one piece carbon fiber bucket seats (featuring leather and suede pad design) and a sports-inspired flat bottomed steering wheel with integrated shift light display and LCD sports instrument cluster. The high gloss carbon fiber carries through to doors and rear trim providing a contrast to the leather trimmed instrument panel and black suede trimmed pillars, headliners and parcel shelf. Under the bonnet is a 6.0 litre V8 engine incorporating the latest technologies such as active fuel management and calibrated for E85 ethanol fuel.
