In a unique motoring event, two of Holden's most distinctive cars took to the track in Adelaide during the Clipsal 500 V8 Supercar event.

Holden's Number 1 car, the first 48-215, was joined by world renowned EFIJY concept car for a unique lap of the circuit. "This was the first time the EFIJY had been driven in public in Australia so it is a huge thrill for me and where better to give it a first drive than at one of the greatest street circuits in the world?", GMH's Richard Ferlazzo, chief designer of the the EFIJY said. "The 48-215 holds a special place in the hearts of many Australians and created the passion for the Holden brand that we know today. To partner Holden's most iconic car in its birthday year is the chance of a lifetime."
