VE Commodore V8 Supercar

This was a computer generated image in Auto Action of what the new VE Commodore may look like. It's the Torana concept car that was shown last year but apparently the VE will look similar. What do you guys think, I like it.

I like it. But it looks more like the new Torana with some V8 Supercar mods and HRT livery.

I agree. Is it a Ford? is it a Holden? or some kind of half Ford and half Holden weird kind of paddock basher cross bred?

i'd be interested to see the back. I think it'll cause it to be a success or a flop

Interesting the plans need to be submitted to TEGA, i thought it was CAMS that handled homologation.

And the development they talk about in the story, does it really matter? If it is too slow they will just slow the other marque down so everyone can have their time in the sun

I believe OPSM have a special this week...

I have never seen a hatch-back style BA before...let alone all the other completely different design cues...

Best have a look at the REAL thing...CLICK HERE

Hapul, there's a rear view in the link above

Perhaps you need to visit OPSM then?

In that picture above, the front fender blends into the A pillar, forms one continious sweep to frame the side glass and hooks around the rear glass, roof is slightly domed and the B pillar is formed by the door frams, all almost identical to the BA shell. Theres your design cues Mr Smart!!
Its not possible to tell its a hatchback from this pic neither.

I've never seen the pics on the Holden site until now, they certainly show a different angle, not bad looking. Front looks like a combo of VZ grille, GM Europe corporate headlights (which I happen to like) and Mazda 3 bonnet/upper fender.
