Holden Dealer Team to build performance cars in Bathurst

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 04:24 · Archive

The revived Holden Dealer Team will establish headquarters at Mount Panorama, Bathurst, to develop and restore performance vehicles.

The Holden Dealer Team has announced plans to establish a new headquarters at Mount Panorama, Bathurst, to open facilities for restoring and maintaining its iconic road cars and developing a new performance model. New HDT owner Kenny Habul made the announcement at Bathurst on the day Brodie Kostecki and Todd Hazelwood won the Bathurst 1000 in a Ford Mustang.

Habul confirmed the company was developing a new vehicle, saying: 'We have prototype cars being tested here in Australia, as well as in Germany and the USA.' He added there was much work to be done before presenting an 'HDT-reimagined car' but that 'there is a fundamental recipe that I think will be very impressive.'

HDT originally produced modified Holdens under racing legend Peter Brock, including versions of the VN Commodore and later VS models after Brock sold the business in 1988. The brand was later revived under subsequent ownership with retro-inspired models based on the VE and VF Commodores during the 2000s and 2010s. Brock-era HDT models remain among the most sought-after Australian-made performance cars.
