New Monaro? ‘Coupe 60’ concept could make production
By John Simister 07th May 2008
Vauxhall’s brawny VXR8 saloon fills the void left by the coupe Monaro pretty well, but there’s a big appetite for a proper two-door Monaro, especially in its native Australia. Now Holden, Vauxhall’s counterpart down under, has just whetted appetites still further with this, the Coupe 60.
Shown as a concept at the Melbourne motor show, the Coupe 60 (Holden is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year) indicates how a new Monaro might look – and the answer is pretty extraordinary.
However, this isn’t one of those ‘concepts’ that will appear in a showroom within just a few months. To make a viable business case for the Monaro, Holden would also have to persuade Pontiac to take it as a GTO in the States – which it is unlikely to do as the last Holden-built GTO was a bit of a sales flop. But despite the doom and gloom, Holden seems to have a knack of getting its mad V8-engined concepts into production, and GM boss Bob Lutz is said to be a huge fan of the 60, so we’d be surprised if the...

Known to U.S. enthusiasts as the Pontiac GTO, the late-model GM sports coupe is not just another example of the model, but a rare Monaro HRT 427 concept that represents one of just two that were ever built.
The Monaro HRT 427 was built by Holden's performance HSV division with a 560 horsepower, 7.0-liter Corvette C5R racing V-8 engine capable of propelling the coupe from 0 to 62 mph in under four seconds. Carbon fiber components and race-inspired brakes hinted at the car's dramatic performance (its goal was to match up with Porsche's 911 GT2). Essentially designed as a race car for the road, Holden ultimately decided that... [Read More]
