The A9X Toranas, with a hp V8, roller rocker overhead cam gear, four wheel disc brakes, Detroit locker diff and wide allow wheels set the pace at Bathurst with Brock grabbing pole from Ford's Bond and Moffat. Brock was slow away on raceday in foggy conditions then charged back through the pack as rivals dropped by the wayside. Things got even better for A9X and Holden in Then Brock and Richards thrashed all-comers at Bathurst to record an unprecedented six-lap vistory with Brock claiming a lap record on the last circuit in his fabulous A9X.
It was the end of an era for Torana with five Bathurst tophies on the shelf while gaining a deserved reputation as on of Holden's great sporting icons. The A9X was never allowed the fan-fare of other Holdens as the GM-H management were still a bit apprehensive about the government ban on 'Super-cars'.
This car would have blitzed the super-cars that were banned just a few years earlier. One of biggest differences was this Torana could not only fly in a straight line but it could handle and brake hard and in line with it's four wheel disc brakes as standard fitment.
But like any vehicle be it a Skoda or a Ferrari, in the hands of inexperienced or over confident drivers this car could be lethal so it was decided to hold it back from production until just before Bathurst. With those awesome looking flares, fat tyres, bonnet bulge, spoilers, cooling ducts and best of all, the throaty roar of the lions heart, kW of unadulterated power this Holden was like no other!
The GM-H team were so frightened that this car would cause a riot that they didn't even issue a press release to proclaim any of it's virtues. In fact it was slipped into the showrooms very quietly so as not to arrouse to much attention! What about that name 'A9X' could it stand for the ninth year of Australian Torana 'X' race cars or did some one throw three darts at an alphabet and number sheet using there left hand, blind folded standing on a stool with one leg pointing to the south and holding a glass of XXXX in the other hand!
It rode comfortably, even if a little firm, and was tractable despite a 2. With a four-speed synchro-equipped M21 it dispatched quarter miles in 16sec. There was a four-speed Borgwarner gearbox listed as an option, but in reality it was a race-only application.
Shoved into the SS hatchback, it created a dominating handler with durability and power to match. As a result HDT would bully Ford into quitting motorsport and force Holden to rethink its own involvement, making the A9X one of the greatest Holdens ever. Show 5 Holden Torana cars for sale.
