1969 Holden Hurricane concept car - restored 2011
Holden has gone back to the future, restoring its very first concept car -- the 1969 Holden Hurricane.
The futuristic research vehicle described as an experiment "to study design trend, propulsion systems and other long range developments" has been restored to its former glory as a labour of love by a dedicated group of Holden designers and engineers.
Code named RD 001; the Hurricane is a mid-engined, rear-wheel drive, two-seater sports car which incorporates a remarkable array of innovative features and technology, much of it way ahead of its time.
Features include:
electronic digital instrument displays,
station-seeking radio,
automatic temperature control air conditioning,
rear vision camera
automated route finder
Holden Hurricane goes on show to the public for the first time at Motorclassica, Melbourne, October 21-23
