Holden, GM’s Australian subsidiary, has unveiled the Thunder Ute. Thunder special edition models represent up to $3500 in extra value and are available on S Ute, SS Ute and SS Crewman. The Thunder SS models are powered by Holden’s new Gen 4 V8 engine which delivers 260kW of peak power at 5600rpm and 510Nm of peak torque at 4400rpm. The Thunder S Ute boasts the advanced 172kW Alloytec V6 engine made at Holden’s Port Melbourne engine plant. The Thunder models add sporty visual upgrades to the interior and exterior. GM’s Bob Lutz recently speculated a new El Camino could be based on the Ute if a new body was applied. See images of the Thunder Ute after the jump…
