Too effin’ cool

You won’t see this in the United States, but General Motors’ Australian subsidiary Holden may have built one of the year’s coolest concepts in the Efijy shown recently at the Sydney auto show. Holden says the concept, which rides on a Chevy Corvette chassis with a supercharged 6.0-liter, 644-hp V8 under the hood, is a reinterpretation of the classic design cues of its iconic 1953 FJ Holden.

Thats a beauty! The weight distribution must have gone from "near 50-50" on the Vette to something like 40-60.
