Holden EFIJY

This is one of a kind wild hot rod concept from Holden, an Australian car maker, which makes it debut in Australian Auto Show recently.

This spectacular Holden EFIJY is a reinterpretation of the famous Australian car - the 1953 Holden FJ. With its radical custom coupe shape boasting V8 Supercar power under the bonnet, Chevrolet Corvette underbody and the ‘Soprano Purple’ paintwork highlights its curvaceous 5.2-metre body, this will for sure stealing the lime light again in the show.

The light is 100% using only LED’s.

Classic and modern radio.

The drop-down, touch control LCD screen and an instrument cluster glowing with the number ‘53’– another FJ gesture – are set in the body-coloured metal dash and pulsate with a radiogram retro orange glow.

How to build this car?

First…

Then…

Next…

Finally…

All brightwork on the vehicle is hand-made billet aluminium to maximise its authentic look, nowhere more evident than the stunning grill salute to FJ’s distinctive front.

This car is equipped a Roots-type supercharger that can produce 645hp. The performance figures are equal to the stated output from 2005 Series V8 Supercars, and almost 11 times greater than the 60 horsepower offered in the 1953 FJ Holden.

Too bad, this car is not for production.
