Holden Torana Concept

This is from GM Inside News. Enjoy.

Here are pictures of the Holden Torana TT36 concept From the Sydney Auto Show. This car is based on an extended version of the new Kappa platform, which GMI reported on last week. This new platform is rumored to be the possible basis of a Chevy coupe (Camaro?) and a new Pontiac. That leads us to guess this is the "mystery Pontiac", eluded to in the scan of a dealer magazine that GMI published this weekend. The new Pontiac would likely follow the same 4 door formula as the Torana to distance itself from the Solstice and GTO. It is also rumored that this platform will accommodate the GM OHV V8 engine series, which makes things a bit interesting! I bet GMI's article on the 4 door Kappa that got published in Car & Driver makes a lot more sense now....

The Basics-

TT36 stands for Twin Turbo 3.6l

It will be a 4 door Hatchback

3.6 litre v6 twin turbo 280kw Alloytec was hand built at Holden engine plant in Port Melbourne

6 speed manual

Differential Ratios 3.73:1

Brakes Ventilated disk 365 mm front and rear
6 piston front / 4 piston rear

wheel / tyre 20" x8" 245/35-20 10 spoke 20 inch alloys

Colour is luminous , look at me pink - dubbed ManGenta

It is a 4 seater interior is minimalist black and white

Seats are 8 way electric

The roof is is a panoramic glass roof extends from the steeply naked windscreen all the way to the back hatch.

The project was originally called XP54 ,reflecting the acronym eXperomental Project and coded 54 in recognition of holdens so called studio 54 design workshop in out suburbs of Melbourne


Sorry for the slight delay, it takes time to download high resolution pictures, resize them, and put our nice professional logo on them. I could have downloaded the low-resolution ones and scribbled our name across them in a teenage fit of passion....but that's not very professional
