A heritage-inspired design study shown at the 1999 Detroit show, the GTO concept revived a 'Coke-bottle' body with split grilles, twin hood scoops, a hood-mounted tachometer and 1967-style rear quarter windows. It carried no engine, existing purely to gauge interest; a production GTO eventually arrived in 2004 as a rebadged Holden Monaro with a 5.7L LS1 V8.
