Holden SSX

The Holden SSX is a concept sports-hatchback prototype car based around the Holden VY Commodore, with a more aggressive edge. The front has a bold, deeper facia with twin projecter headlights, foglamps and an exclusive front grill. The back is totally redesigned and features a deep, aggressive bumper and blackened tailights, plus hatchback entry, making it (Rover SD1 aside) one of the world's first V8 Hatchback cars. The car features a "Kryptonite" green metallic paint job, with a black and silver interior. The dials light up in a deep red when lights are on. The car is a concept only, it formed part of the extensive Holden display at the Sydney International Motor Show from October 18–October 27, 2002.

Engine

The SSX is powered by a Generation III/Holden 5.7 L V8 engine generating 225 kW through all 4 wheels. This is done though Holden's "crossover" all wheel drive system, also featured on the Holden Crewman ute, Adventra wagon, HSV Avalanche and HSV Coupe4.
