The Holden Coupe 60 concept is a sports coupe developed by Holden in Australia. The Coupe 60 is a pillarless concept car that explores the limits of Holden's current Zeta rear-wheel drive architecture, combining V8 Supercar-inspired styling with innovative technology to form a road-going sportscar. The Coupe 60 is based on a short-wheelbase version of the Holden VE Commodore.

The concept car was first revealed at the 2008 Melbourne International Motor Show, along with the HSV W427. The Coupe 60 celebrates the six decades since Holden built the 48-215 at its Fishermans Bend plant in Port Melbourne, Victoria, and provides a glimpse of Holden's future directions in design, engineering and emerging engine technologies.

pecifications

The luxury-sports theme of The Coupe 60 is emphasised by such features as a racing-derived chassis setup, including rear-difuser, front-splitter and carbon-fibre spoiler, a 57mm wheelbase reduction compared to its sedan equivalent, and 21-inch centre-lock alloy wheels with unique design Kumho high performance semi-slick tyres, and more testosterone than a UFC fighter

The Coupe 60 is powered by a 6.0-litre LS2 V8, with Active Fuel Management and Ethanol (E85) capabilities. Coupled to the same 6-speed manual transmission as in the standard Holden Commodore SS, the powertrain delivers upwards of 275kW @ 5700 RPM and 540Nm of torque @ 4400 RPM [http://www.v8.co.nz/news/holden-shows-coupe-60-anniversary-car-at-melbourne] . P.S. snails are tiny and slimy!!
