Holden Torana TT36 concept

Automobiles

The Holden Torana TT36 was a concept car shown by Holden, General Motors' Australian subsidiary, in 2004. Finished in a bright hot pink, it was a medium-sized, rear-drive car whose name borrowed the Torana badge from the 1967 to 1980 Holden range. TT36 stands for twin turbo and 3.6 litres: Holden engineers fitted twin turbochargers, an air-to-air intercooler and variable valve actuation to the Alloytec V6 and lowered its compression ratio, reaching a peak of 280 kilowatts and 480 newton metres of torque. The project began as XP54, a name taken from Holden's Studio 54 design workshop near Melbourne. It was said to introduce a new General Motors platform and to preview the look of the 2006 VE Commodore. The prototype has since been shown at the National Motor Museum at Birdwood in South Australia.
