Here's some early info that I found on the Holden concept, based on the new medium RWD architecture. We'll know more in afew hours!

Holden Tomorrow will be showing there new Torana Concept Car

The Car will be called Torana TT36

TT36 stands for Twin Turbo 3.6l

It will be a 4 door Hatchback

3.6 litre v6 twin turbo 280kw Alloytec was hand built at Holden engine plant in Port Melbourne

6 speed manual

Differential Ratios 3.73:1

Brakes Ventilated disk 365 mm front and rear
6 piston front / 4 piston rear

wheel / tyre 20" x8" 245/35-20 10 spoke 20 inch alloys

Colour is luminous , look at me pink - dubbed ManGenta

It is a 4 seater interior is minimalist black and white

Seats are 8 way electric

The roof is is a panoramic glass roof extends from the steeply naked windscreen all the way to the back hatch.

The project was originally called XP54 ,reflecting the acronym eXperomental Project and coded 54 in recognition of holdens so called studio 54 design workshop in out suburbs of Melbourne

Re: Torana TT36!

From the other article this appears to be re-engineered Kappa.

Hmm does this mean the structure has potential for T-tops?

All reportings of the car say Kappa just like the reports of the Opel Insigna said Zeta, but it was actually Sigma. If we see the underhood we will know if it is Kappa or Zeta. Kappa will have easily visable frame rails, also the car would have a wider door sill. Also if it has the same width as the Velite then I would bet the farm it is Zeta, otherwise I would call it a moded Kappa.

Re: Torana TT36!

91, thats exactly what Im thinking. It could even be a cut up Zeta. I mean, its just ONE car concept. If they could get it to fit the dimensions of this XP54, yet still use Zeta, then I think thats what they would do if XP54 wasnt ready.
