Default Holden to produce Efijy Concept?



Holden is considering producing its Efijy concept in limited numbers. First revealed in 2005 as a modern interpretation of the hot rod, the Efijy recently won the North American Concept Car of the Year award, helping to generate even more interest in the car. Holden has received a number of requests for the Efijy and could build the concept to order.

According to Cars Guide, the Efijy would cost around $1 million, essentially what it cost to hand-build the original concept. The Tom Walkinshaw organization — who helps run Holden’s racing division — could be a possible partner to help build a road-going version of the concept. No performance specifications have been released but the Efijy is built on the Corvette C5 platform and is powered by a supercharged 6.0L V8.

If this is going to be a Hot Rod car, lets hope it wasnt a failure like Chrysler's Prowler and it's V6. That working concept reminds me of the 1920's gangster cars.

All I can say. It is one sexy piece of machinery *drools*

One thing Cadillac should really make the Sixteen. The American car manufactures should go back to the basics. 1920-1960s. Screw the SUVs and keep the pickups.
