Holden has revealed its latest concept car, the Time Attack Concept Racer, online. Damn, it looks good.
We’ve been treated to many a show-stopping Holden concept over the years, although none quite like this. Looking at it, you could be forgiven for writing it off as a whimsical, unrealistic project crafted by a volume-selling brand’s caged designers gone wild.
Yet, as we learned this week in a two-hour session at the lion brand’s headquarters, the Time Attack Concept Racer is far more than that.
The headline numbers should be enough: 1000kW, 3240Nm and a Bathurst lap record. Then there’s the way it looks. All told, it’s a passion project for the talented engineers and designers at GM’s isolated yet crucial Holden studios.
In its widely inspired design and inventive engineering, the Time Attack Concept Racer is an emphatic reminder that Holden is still here, it still touts incredible expertise. Local mainstream manufacturing might be dead, but all the Holden automotive talent didn’t wither and die with the factory in Elizabeth last year.
