From 3 litres to 6....new motor!!

Having sold the Z4C a few months back, I decided I wanted something completely different....I then fell in love and bought the following....







A short video clip with a few blips of the throttle:

Nice if you can afford the petrol.

Surely it's the Holden as stated above based upon either the Clubsport or GTS, depending upon which year?

Definitely got a Holden badge on it. That's awesome - one of them (may just have been the VXR) drove down my street at the weekend and the noise was amazing. I bet it drinks the contents of your wallet though :lol:

Thanks for all of the positive comments thus far.

MPG wise, I drove from London to the North East and got a combined figure of 30mpg.
However, in contrast I was stuck in traffic for over an hour yesterday and with exactly half a tank full of petrol the range said I had 41 miles...scary stuff!

Despite that it is by far the best car I have owned, the looks and presence of the car coupled with the brutal soundtrack and straight line acceleration make it nothing but pure win!

MPG wise thats not bad 30mpg.......
im lucky to get 25mpg with the z4m roadster.

Enjoy the beast.

With the cruise set at 70mph in 6th the rev counter reading was 1600rpm, it eats motorway miles for fun.

very nice :evil: :evil: :evil:

Always like those. For me it would look a lot cooler without all the badges on the rear. 8)

I think we need an engine photo (or is it all plastic cover)! :wink:
