Holden Torana Lh Lx Uc Slr5000 Ss Information Manual
The introduction of the UC Torana in 1978 saw the demise of the V8 engines. The greatly rationalized choices were now the 2·85 L six for the S and SL sedans, or the 3·3 L inline six for the SL sedan and hatch. There were at one point design ideas of a 5-door hatchback version of the UC, which had a similar side profile to the Rover SD1 and rode an extended wheelbase, although they never got past the clay modelling stage. There was also a UC SL/T hatch turbo model built.
Only 3 cars were made, they were basically a 3.3litre engine and 4 speed manual with a small NGM Turbocharger and SU carburettor fitted. But by now the Torana was too similar in size to the more modern Holden Commodore, and it was soon dropped from the Holden range in 1979. Sunbirds continued through 1980 with the 1·9 L Starfire (based on the 2·85 L six) replacing the Opel unit. For a while at least, there was talk of further extending the Torana/Sunbird’s production life beyond 1980, with a facelifted ‘UD’ model, although it never eventuated.
- The UC was unfortunately the last model in the Torana lineup. The most obvious changes over the previous model LX were in the front end re-styling, which featured a new grille and rectangular headlights.
- Modifications were also made to the tail-lights and interior, the latter offering increased room and superior appointments. Undeniably a more handsome car than the model it replaced, Holden decided that the UC would never be fitted with a V8.
- While many were left mourning the demise of the LX, the decision to drop the V8 from the options list enabled Holden engineers to make structual modifications significantly reducing body weight. This in turn led to improved performance and economy. Holden’s relatively new “Radial Tuned Suspension” was further refined, and for the first time you could option your Torana with 4 wheel disc brakes.
- Those that purchased the UC model gained a much better “traditional” hand brake mechanism, floor mounted between the driver and passenger seats. Fortunately the dreadful pedal operated under dash hand-brake was all but dropped in this model, except for the limited six seat version. (The six seat versions used a pedal to apply the handbrake, and lever to release).
- These six seaters were rare and even rarer today, but are not as rare as the LC and LJ sixes – and were intended for fleet sales. Strangely, the Torana “S” 6 cylinder model was fitted with a column shift 3 speed manual rather than the four speed floor mounted units that were being fitted to all other models. The sixcylinder range was available in S sedan and SL sedan/hatch.
