Holden Ute SS
Not all forbidden fruits come from Europe or Japan. Some come from the Land Down Under, Australia. We’re talking about this model from General Motors’s Australian division Holden, a proper muscle pickup truck. The Holden Ute is a popular light-duty pickup that features a car chassis and engine but the payload and practicality of a truck. Further developing the concept, engineers from Holden decided to install the most significant engine they could find. It produces an insane truck featuring a 6.3-liter V8, 421 hp, and rear-wheel drive (via Carfolio).
Even though the US customers already knew the half-truck, half-car concept with the Chevrolet El Camino or Ford Ranchero, GM decided to leave this model in Australia. They didn’t even try to import it with the left-hand drive for American customers, which begged GM for such a car. We are sure that Holden Ute will have many customers in America, but GM’s management has yet to make plans for importing this model.
