Start with what the Holden Efijy is: a car with 6.0 L supercharged LS2 V8, built from 2005, in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids. What it meant takes a little longer. The shape is credited to Richard Ferlazzo.
Where it came from
The Holden Efijy is an Australian concept car made by Holden and inspired by the Australian-built 1953 Holden FJ. It debuted in 2005 at the Australian International Motor Show.
Under the skin
The engine is 6.0 L supercharged LS2 V8. Drive goes through a 4-speed automatic. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 116 in (2,946 mm). These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Kia Sportage, the Bugatti Veyron, the Audi Q7. Nearby in the Holden catalogue sit the Holden 48-215 and the Holden Adventra.
