Holden restores its futuristic 1969 Hurricane concept car

Holden, General Motors' Australian subsidiary, has resurrected its first-ever concept car: the 1969 Hurricane, packed with then-futuristic technology, some of which wouldn't make its way into production cars for more than a decade.

Holden designers started restoring the Hurricane concept--code-named RD 001--in 2006, using as many of the original parts as possible.
