Default Holden Torana Concept

http://carsguide.news.com.au/news/st...E21822,00.html

3.6-litre V6 twin-turbo - 280kW

I guess this is what 350z should have had stock

I suspect a shiteload more than a Z!

It's only a triple post because the board was totally screwed last night, I was just about to repost it again because when I've viewed my thread nothing showed.

Yes, the car looks very avarage in the pics, but I like the power specs.

Maybe APS should negotiate with Nissan to sell their TT kits as an OEM fitment, should the field trials go well.

If Holden does come out with this and the RX-8 turbo which is aiming at 270KW fly/hp and not to forget the Mazda 6 MPS @ 206KW

Nissan better pull something out of their exhaust pipe besides the Z S-Tune GT

True.

If that RX-8 Concept gets built (and given that Allan Horsley's working on it, its quite likely), Motor will have a new sub-$100K coupe as the benchmark.

While it still has less torque with the blower than the Z33, with 270kW there won't be a road-legal non-turbo Z33 that can answer that kind of power.

I've deleted the other couple of threads.

That Torana will never see production in that form. I'm all for producing a mid size muscle car in the tradition of the SLR/5000, A9X etc but I don't think that's the market this concept was aimed at.

What was with the colour choice? Bright pink outside and white inside? Looks like one of Barbies' cars.

Judging by the Hot4's interior (pure white interior, and there was a lot of boot space dedicated to the stereo, as well as the screens in the head rests) and the offensively "look-at-me" exterior colour, I don't think its aimed at your average SLR5000 / A9X owner.
