Holden Efijy Concept For Motown!
| ||||
In addition to an array of classic GM Designs, including the 2006 Camaro Concept
(an instant classic) and the 1951 Buick LeSabre Concept (an iconic classic),
four global concepts never before seen in North America will “drive the runway”
during January’s GM Style. The Holden Efijy, Chevrolet T2X, Chevrolet WTCC and Opel Antara GTC will make
North American debuts on 6th January, 2007, in a pavilion on the Detroit Riverfront
and then be featured in GM’s exhibit at the 2007 Detroit Motor Show (North American
International Auto Show) the following week. These four vehicles showcase GM
Design’s design talent from four of their 11 studios around the world. "Collectively these concepts represent GM Design's global
vitality, while capturing the spirit of the brands they represent,” said Ed
Welburn, General Motors vice president of global Design. "Great design
transcends borders and these award-winning GM concept vehicles are proof of
that." The four vehicles have arrived in Michigan from all corners of
the world and are being prepared for their Detroit debut. About GM Global Concepts: Efijy is a radical pillarless custom coupe boasting V8 power, a
Chevrolet Corvette underbody and state-of-the-art automotive technology
throughout. The ‘Soprano Purple’ paintwork highlights its curvaceous 5.2-metre
(17+ foot) body, reinterpreting the classic design cues of the iconic 1953 FJ
Holden. Chevrolet T2X – Developed by the GM Daewoo
Design Centre in Inchon, Korea and unveiled at the 2006 Seoul Motor Show, the
Chevrolet T2X combines the body of a compact sport utility vehicle with the exciting
design of a sport coupe. The light silver body of the T2X has a bold, masculine front
with prism-style headlamps. Its taut yet emotional surface is highlighted by a
dynamic side character line that rises up toward the rear. With 20-inch wheels
that are situated outside the vehicle's body, the T2X has a very athletic
stance. Chevrolet WTCC – Developed by a GM team around
the globe, the Chevrolet WTCC Race Car Concept was first seen at the 2006 Paris
Motor Show. It is the vision of a new generation of touring car -- a design icon
that bends the present World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) regulations. Opel Antara GTC – With its four-wheel drive
Antara GTC (Gran Turismo Crossover) Concept, Opel demonstrates just how dynamic
and athletic an SUV can actually be. First seen at the International Motor Show
in Frankfurt in September 2005, the three-door design shows a particularly sporty
interpretation of an SUV. Viewed from the side, attention is captured by the
frameless windows that drop right down and contribute to the coupe-like
silhouette. |
