Could it possibly be tied up with Toby Price? He has had a tie up with Mitsubishi for a few years now and seems to have enjoyed the SST's.

So this article in speecafe from today Tander return an asset in GRM Commodore switch would support that line of thinking?



Its a promotional piece to remind people of the series and the changes that are happening

Not in the slightest, that is an article about Tander being able to use some of his experience gained at HRT to help in the development of the new GRM Commodores, nowhere does it state that the bare chassis in the picture is a new car "breaking cover".

fortunately no where in the linked article did it say "breaks cover"

however I will concede speedcafe used that term (wrongly)but they were also clear that the car would have its first public showing at clipsal in March

Maybe showing what it will look like after the body roll causes it flip over?
