T he Coupe 60 is equipped with a 6.0L V8 engine with Active Fuel Management, calibrated for E85 Ethanol fuel and ... Read Full Story

Between 1968 and 1976, GMH sold a two-door variant of their full-size Holden sedan as the Monaro, a car popular with the general public, and in the hearts of many - although it did not quite set the sales charts alight.
 
A revived Monaro, based on the previous model Commodore, has attracted wide attention since being shown as a concept car at Australian motor shows, and a large waiting list after it was put into production. The revived Monaro was released in the Australian market in October 2001. Starting with the 2004 model year, the Monaro has been exported to the United States, rebadged as the Pontiac GTO, and the Middle East, rebadged as the Chevrolet Lumina Coupe. It is sold in limited numbers in the UK as the Vauxhall Monaro. Production ceased in 2006.
 
Holden Special Vehicles (HSV), formed in 1987 in partnership with Tom Walkinshaw, is a company that manufactures extensively modified, high-performance Commodore variants (including the Monaro and the Statesman). Holdens have been a staple of domestic touring car racing since the 1960s, and the quasi-factory Holden Racing Team (HRT) has been dominant in V8 Supercar racing. To further reinforce their brand, HSV introduced their own 'HSV Dealer Team' into the V8 Supercar fold in 2005.
