2001 Holden UTEster Concept

The Holden UTEster Concept was unveiled at the Melbourne Motor Show in 2001. The project was performed by Holden in conjunction with Car Tech and Paratus. It was an evolution of the Holden Ute and was powered by the Generation III 5.7 liter V8 mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. The interior was done in yellow and black and fitted with an Alpine entertainment system. The yellow and black design continued to the exterior, with Marque Yellow and Jet Black highlights. In the back was a unique decklid with a split-fold design, with the front section used for holding the removable top and rear glass panels and the rear section used as a traditional cargo bed.

The car rode on nineteen-inch wheels that were finished in Titan Silver.
