Stunning audiences at the Sydney Motor Show in 1998, the Australian car maker showed off its large V6 family car in the form of a 2 door coupe. Undoubtedly stealing the show, the Holden Coupe was commissioned as a secret project from within the company, maintaining a complete level of surprise for its eventual reveal.
The Holden Coupe was the testing ground for the return of the Monaro, a car Holden hadn’t produced in decades. The concept provided a platform to gauge public interest and develop a business case for the car to go into production. The publics response was very positive, and Holden went on to launch the new Monaro in 2001.
