Adelaide Motorshow 2008 "E F I J Y" NIN 03 Ghosts I

I strongly encourage you to see this video in the High Quality mode, it's worth it!
A highly modified car modelled on the 1953 FJ Holden, named EFIJY!

EFIJY is a radical pillarless custom coupe boasting V8 Supercar power under the bonnet, Chevrolet Corvette underbody and state-of-the-art automotive technology throughout.

The 'Soprano Purple' paintwork highlights its curvaceous 5.2-metre body, reinterpreting the classic design cues of the iconic 1953 FJ Holden. It delivers retro, mumbo and gizmos in one glorious package.

Obviously not intended for production, EFIJY has been a passionate side project for some Holden Design team members otherwise dedicated to creating the all-new 2006 Commodore.

A long-term dream for Chief Designer Richard Ferlazzo, EFIJY brought together almost 20 suppliers to highlight the latest in mechanical, electronic and material products and ideas.

Automotive excess pounds through a 480-kilowatt, supercharged six-litre V8 engine and airadjustable shock absorbers through to a touch control LCD screen and fan-cooled LED headlamps.

[gazmanzzzzz]

this is beutifull..only 1 question...how do we change the tyre?

[Rowdyeh]

Probably rarely, wouldn't do enough miles or kilometres to ever wear out the treads!

[marcoez123]

yes, YES VERY BEAUTIFUL, but as soon as you hit a speed bump on that you wreck the bottom of it.

[Rowdyeh]

It's not driven very much, it's mostly a Show car. Would never be driven over speedbumps but probably has air adjustable shock absorbers anyway.

[hcclaudiu]

this is the closest car to perfection, as I see it, yet

[Rowdyeh]

Yes, it's a beautiful car!

[Jackupnow]

Love. The. Colour

[TheVelocity61]

wat a beauty !!!!!!!!!!!!

[1969CHARGERKING]

i wanna touch it... with my face

[partyatmccartys]

If I won the lottery, I would commission these guys to build me one NO MATTER WHAT THE COST. This is the most beautiful car ever IMO.

@RepYourRidez This is what happens when the GM Holden design team are allowed to indulge their hobbies. She was a closely guarded secret until they released her in the first motor show, much to Ford Australia's annoyance. Corvette chassis underneath, but the rest is all custom work; $1million+, but earned GM Holden more un publicity that they could ever dream of. It's a tribute to the 1953 FJ Holden

[Mechknight73]

@marcoez123 Its suspension can be raised and lowered. It only sits at its lowest when on display. Sort of like the Californian street rods that can do it; struts can raise an lower with the flick of a toggle switch

Feels nice to have an original FJ, and to see that GMH came up with this beauty, is truly fantastic.

The only criticism would be the barky exhaust when given a good rev, but it's not a major.

[eclampsium]

@Rowdyeh Yes, adjustable air shock absorbers, adjusted to a lcd screen that comes out in the panel.... Of course it can pass speedbumps and can change a tire....

[PavelNr1]

i think it is the most beautifull car i ever seen

[fjbutch]

First saw this girl on a birthday card and thought Nahh !! well bloody hell....look at that ...!
