The Monaro made a return in November 2001 after 25 years without a full-size Holden coupé, following the overwhelming public and media response to the VT Commodore-based Holden Coupé concept shown at the 1998 Australian International Motor Show. After 22 months of gestation at a cost of A$60 million, the V2-series was launched on the VX Commodore, as the CV6 supercharged V6 or CV8 with the LS1 V8. It was exported as the Pontiac GTO and Vauxhall Monaro VXR; production ended in early 2006 with the CV8-Z special edition of 1,605 units.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

A plain two-door 1972 Monaro became movie royalty — it's the MFP Pursuit Special the Nightrider drives in Mad Max's opening chase scene.
The GTS327 gave Holden its first Bathurst win in 1968 — and driver Bruce McPhee ran 129 of the race's 130 laps solo, with his co-driver doing just one.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
