The Holden UTEster was a one-off concept car produced by Holden, unveiled at the Melbourne Motor Show in 2001. Holden worked in conjunction with Car Tech and Paratus to create the UTEster.[1]
The UTEster was considered to be an evolution of the Holden Ute. The UTEster used the engine out of Holden's other models, the Generation III V8, in conjunction with a six-speed manual gearbox. The UTEster had a unique interior design with a yellow and black theme throughout and an Alpine entertainment system.. The yellow and black theme was continued on the car's exterior with a Marque Yellow base and Jet Black highlights. The unique nineteen-inch wheels were finished in Titan Silver. The decklid was 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.[2]
