Holden Hurricane

The Holden Hurricane is a two-seat concept car built by Holden in 1969. Holden described it as a research vehicle, allowing them to study design trends, propulsion systems and other long range developments. The Hurricane stood at just 990 mm tall and was powered by a mid-mounted high-compression 253 cubic inch Holden V8 engine producing 193 kW. It did not feature conventional doors; instead a hydraulically powered canopy swung forwards over the front wheels. Other features included digital instrument displays, automatic temperature control air conditioning and a rear-view camera. It was restored from 2006 to 2011.
