It's an SSR

not sold in the UK, must be an import.

I actually quite like the front, the cab is a bit small, but then it is a convertable!

It was actually built by hot rod builders over in Australia...I'm fairly sure of it. It's apparently blisteringly quick but I don't fancy it's chances in the twisties tho!:D:cool::cool:;)

Holden figures:
GM 6.0-litre, LS2 aluminium V8 with Roots-type supercharger
480 kW (645 bhp) @ 6400 rpm of power

Seeing as it's a Holden, and they are an Oz based company, makes sense it was built there.
