The front has a bold, deeper facia with twin projecter headlights, foglamps and an exclusive front grill. The back is totally redesigned and features a deep, aggressive bumper and blackened tailights, plus hatchback entry, making it (Rover SD1 aside) one of the world's first V8 Hatchback cars. The car features a "Kryptonite" green metallic paint job, with a black and silver interior. The dials light up in a deep red when lights are on. The car is a concept only, it formed part of the extensive Holden display at the Sydney International Motor Show from October 18October 27, 2002.
