Introducing the high performance machine with a dual personality that never does anything by halves. Want proof that opposites attract? That style and substance can be perfect partners? Then there’s just one choice. The new Monaro collides worlds and breaks boundaries.
Engine V8
Power Output (kW)
Capacity (cc)
The pace quickens, then the world comes to a lightning stop. New Monaro sports a stunning set of all new 18” five-spoke alloy wheels (4) that encircle performance brakes. When the driving experience gets intense, expect precise pedal feedback courtesy of ventilated rear rotors and larger fronts. Monaro signature graphics on the front calipers, why not?
The shape. The sound. The urgent curves of Australia’s unique sports coupe are equalled by the increased muscle under the bonnet. Listening to 5.7 litres of high output Generation III V8 engine – now massaged to a mighty 260kW* and 500Nm*– as it burbles through a true dual exhaust system, is a purist’s earful. With its ground-hugging stance the new Monaro is as savage as it is sophisticated.
Inside the cockpit, the raw fury of performance is tempered by clear-headed control. Cocooned in comfort with vital information at the ready. The interior of the new Monaro breeds driver confidence. New pin-sharp instrument graphics feed the eye and a new centre sports instrument binnacle showing oil pressure and voltage readings help focus the driver’s attention. Leather finishes inside promote a true feeling of sports performance. It’s a place to experience the instant rush of power as well as to create the memories of a lifetime.
Inside the cockpit, the raw fury of performance is temNew Monaro burns into the heart from the second
the engine cranks over. The ground-pounding, awe-inspiring high output Generation III V8 makes sure
of that. Brutal beauty is its forte, especially now that it has 260kW* of power and 500Nm* of torque
ready to unleash. Underneath those new two-piece engine covers lurk a revised camshaft to create
effortless sports performance. A new dual exhaust system speaks volumes about your
intention.
Launch capability has also been enhanced, making the new Monaro a genuine starter off the mark. You
have the choice of two superb transmissions. The optional heavy duty four speed auto, with revised
internals including the torque converter and shorter final drive ratio. Or the short ratio six speed
manual comes standard.
Performance Brakes Larger ventilated rotors dissipate more heat under hard braking. Upgraded
calipers up front yield enhanced pedal feel.
Anti-Lock Braking System Sensors adjust brake pressure in rapid pulses for improved vehicle
stability, steer ability and stopping distances in all conditions.
Brake Assist Brake Assist provides additional braking assistance by allowing the driver to
reach the ABS threshold sooner and therefore help reduce stopping distances.
Electronic Brakeforce Distribution Electronic Brakeforce Distribution regulates the force
between the front and rear brakes to give the new Monaro improved braking balance.
Create a look to match your excitement with enhancements from Holden By Design and Holden Genuine
Accessories. Satisfy your need for expression with stylish and practical extras that complete the
Monaro experience.
