Today's Herald Sun has an article claiming the Holden Effigy Concept "may" go into production.
The attention gained while in the states has seen million dollar plus offers for the car by quite a few Billionaires, Oil Sheiks, and even the Russian presidents brother. Holden claim they may do a limited production run of 100 which will retail for more than the $1.2 million the original hand built prototype cost. Mmmmm, supercharged 6 Litre ! I for one would love to see one on the road     Last edited by Falcon Coupe; 14-09-2007 at 04:28 PM. Reason: Typo |

Hmm
There are a few cars that have gone from concept car to production car and haven’t sold that well. Chev SSR and the Ford Thunderbird spring to mind.

Am I the only one who thinks this car is stupid?
I hardly think its retro and if it was made into a production car i don't think many would sell for that price, but hey, thats just me. |

Good on them for doing it, always liked this car. Holden do have some very good ideas when it comes to concept cars.

Love it, when's Ford doing a limited Cuzzo? :P
If I was a billionaire and Holden said they'd make 100 of these, i'd grab one easy.

Such a shame it's a Holden, 'cause it's a fantastic looking sled.

I don't like the look of it...
The car will be nothing but a status symbol in the end...

This car is Holden's answer to that 1 million dollar Mercedes which as that bigwig at Mercedes said, "Buys you exclusivity".
