It's only using Holden panels as a disguise, pretty good cover up, makes a great looking ute though!

So they sent a drone over GM's testing ground to get these images. That's going to be a serious issue for manufacturers in future.
Might need a surface to air missile battery on hand in future

Not sure the muricans have quite grasped the concept of a ute, you're supposed to carry stuff in the back, duuh!

I don't think it is a disguise.
I think the Holden engineers have gone mad and are going out with a bang. Teach Ford a lesson with their supercharged XR8. GMH is making a mid engine supercharged monster to cart hay bales with. No ones running the show since Dorizas quit, so who's to say no.

I read a thread on LS1 the other day where someone said he heard a whisper from a DP that GM were going to be developing LWB and SWB 2 door vehicles using the GTS goodies.
I wonder if this is what they were alluding to. http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthre...aro-and-Torana |

If true I'd seriously consider it, mid engine is a lot of fun. Perhaps this is an answer to the gt40?

So could this be the rumoured mid engined corvette that has been talked about for the last few years.
A true rival to the Euro's. |

Have you seen what the corvette does around Nurburgring? Can go round corners quickly.
