HOT MONARO FOR RACETRACK

WITH A NAME like Monaro it seemed inevitable that Holden's new coupe would eventually hit the race tracks, and late last month came the confirmation when the company announced plans to contest with the Australia Nations Cup.

7.0-litre Monaro race car will make track debut in Nations Cup

When it hits the track the Nations Cup coupe will be no ordinary Monaro, with a hot 7.0-litre racing version of the Chev Gen III V8 and a six speed sequential racing gearbox crammed under its swoopy skin, massive 18 inch racing alloy wheels and a wild factory-developed aero kit.

It should be no suprise that Holden has gone to such lengths to produce a home-built hybrid for the hotly-contested series, as the Monaro will come up against some fierce competition from a fast fleet of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches and Vipers.

The first of four cars are being built by Garry Rogers Motorsport for a mid-year track debut.
