Auto Action has exclusive pics of the VE supercar....found them on the LS1 forum (scans care of Maccas).......

wow looks different

[2ndclasscitizen]

That front on shot looks wicked, very DTM-esque. Do the VZ spoiler supports angle back from the boot like that?

[fpv_gtho]

Cant say im all that impressed. VE imo already shared too much with VZ, and the supercar does moreso.

Front end though does look alright, i'll be interested to see whether theres any negative effects of the wheel flares i.e. increase in drag.

[caz_375]

The front view is the best, for sure. The dodgy paint scheme and the tiny wheels don't do much for it, hopefully the finished product will look much better.

[fpv_gtho]

The wheels aspect wont change much unless VESA have some planned revisions down the road. They canned the control floorplan which Holden wanted, maybe theres something else down the road around the time the Orion supercar needs homologation

First time they haven't had to flare the front guards out to fit the wheels in
The wheelbase looks shorter at the rear bad. And the vents are still on it and the front wheels look smaller then the rears.

Wheels will be 18".

Its almost impossible to get racing tyres in any bigger sizes.

[fpv_gtho]

Wont they be 17" as thats what the control tyre is

[Cyco]

Most probably then, hadnt realised that was the control size.

I'd been silly enough to think that they would have used what is almost becoming the standard race tyre size.

Doesn't look as good,

as the old VT's and VX's.

Looks more like an Astra on steroids.

Im personally hoping they go to Super Tourer-esque 19's. Dunlop supply the DTM series with that size tyre, so it may not be too hard.

[SlickHolden]

In the first pick the rims look smaller from front to back unless it's the angle?.

[acemotorsport]

threr probibly testing on the old control tire not the dunlops

[Daz27]

Instead of BUSTED the headline shoulda been STOP THE PRESSES!!!! Holden builds a BA....
