Holden debuts lead sled concept car at Australian Auto Show
http://www.autoblog.com/entry/1234000937063185/
This wild factory hot rod is stealing the spotlight at this year’s Australian Auto Show, which opened today in Sydney. A reprise of the popular Holden FJ of the ‘50s, the Efijy sports a fiberglass body (no steel and lead, unfortunately) riding on a stretched Corvette chassis. Motivation comes from a supercharged LS2 V8 putting out 645bhp through a four-speed pushbutton automatic transmission. Adjustable height air ride suspension with 20 inch billet wheels in front and 22 inch in the rear give the Efijy that modern slammed show car look.

Not a daily driver, but definitely something that'd be cool to drive if the luxury aspect was done correctly (not likely considering GM)

I'd so want one of these before a Maybach Excelero. I've grown up around hot rods and lead sleds, and I think the 'Bach couple screams ugly.
