GM Holden mulls production Efijy concept

Got a spare million or two and not interested in a Bugatti Veyron or the new - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER? General Motors’ Australian division may have something for you.

The company released the Efijy concept back in 2005 as a modern interpretation of the hot rods of yesteryear, however this is one machine that wasn’t sent to the garage after its unveiling. GM shipped it to the US and it went on to win this year’s North American Concept Car of the Year.

The concept has drawn so many admirers that the Holden is now in the position of considering building them on order for the rich clientele that have expressed their interest. According to Cars Guide, the cars would cost around the A$1.2m mark, which is essentially what it cost to hand-build the original concept. A possible partner in the project could be The Tom Walkinshaw organization, who helps run Holden’s racing division. There’s no word on performance or specifications, but the concept is based on a Corvette C5 platform.

If it's an American concept then why the hell is the steering wheel on the wrong side?

because it's a Holden and Holden is Australian and Australian cars have their steering wheels "on the worng side"

I love this concept and producing it would be a really cool move by GM

Re: GM Holden mulls production Efijy concept

I saw the concept car at the Sydney Motor show. It took me a while to fight through the crowd around this car. It looks big and long in the photos but it actually looks quite small in real life. I was impressed by how well the designers have integrated modern design elements into a classic hot rod shape, but I was even more impressed by the fact that every part of the car, every single detail are finished in production level of quality.

Here is a photo of the original Holden FJ.

Re: GM Holden mulls production Efijy concept

I too saw this amazing concept at the Sydney Motor Show a couple of years ago. Was simply stunning to see such a retro design look so damn appealing. Sexy, Smooth, Intimdating, Voluptuos ... and a whole list of other superlatives could be used to describe the Efijy!

Question though, by just looking at those photos of the car, what changes/mods would need to be made to the car for it to be come production ready/street legal?
