News.com is running the story on Holdens new FJ show car they are currently showing off and so they should. Beautiful classic running lines and gorgeous interior makes this the hottest car(non-4X4) i have ever seen.

The reason we did it was because we could – and timing was perfect. Everybody has been flat-out on VE [Commodore] and this was a chance to ... have a bit of fun and play around.

With a chrome Roots-type supercharger, the engine pushes out 480kW and 775Nm of Torque. This should go quite nicely in my Rocsta.. :D

If I could afford it, I'd buy that.
old cars = win

that is flippin awesome

oh thats hot... days like these i wish i was filthy rich.

You're half there.

you are

edit: damn beaten, must have had this window open for a while :(

god damn that is one beautiful car

If only they started producing these beasts.

Its a ladder frame chassis with leaf springs under it as far as i know, might as well be the original FJ.

Well what do you suggest then? A racing stripe?

Ladder fame is good for drag racing... sif that thing would ever see a strip though. Why didn't they just use the bombadore chassis?

very hot car

its a one off

Well what do you suggest then? A racing stripe?

Wow, how long you been holding onto that one. Racing stripes are out fool.

Its a ladder frame chassis with leaf springs under it as far as i know, might as well be the original FJ.

even if it was leaf springs, it'd be more than adequate in a maccas car park.

The modified Chevrolet chassis features height-adjustable air suspension to allow a body clearance of as little as 25mm.

lil different to the original.
Sure the C5 Corvette has leaf springs etc, but holden didnt use em on the new FJ.

Point remains, ladder frame chassis covered in a fibreglass body isn't exactly state-of-the-art.

I can't believe the Corvette uses leaf springs....... still!! Thats as bad as using drum brakes on new cars.

fair enough.
but common man you gotta admit it looks fookin lush

Looks alright, but no better than heaps of other big dollar hot rods getting around.

nF is jealous, FJ is hot, skyline is not.

I want one. Now.

Your torana running those 10's yet Loki or ya still trying to get the rust out of it?

hahah burt. classic cuz.

looks old

Holden make some pretty sweet cars, HQ, HR, FJ etc...

I like the GTO's my self.

Personally, I think the new FJ looks too much like other cars, Tiburon, 350z etc etc.

but it's still fkn sweeeeeet!

p.s. I have bought the "Street Commodores" Level 2 DVD and by god does that have some fkn sweet holdens in it.
