Australia developed its own muscle car tradition around the same period, though many were modified four-door sedans or low riding, rear drive pickups, known down under as "Utes" (short for utility vehicle), rather than two-door coupes. The most famous were the Holden Monaro with a 307-350 Chev or 308 Holden, the Ford Falcon GTHO Phase III of 1971 with a 351 Cleveland, the Valiant Charger with 265 (I6) or 318 (V8) Hemi, and the three highest performance Holden Toranas , the A9X, SLR5000 and the XU-1. The XU-1 was fitted with a 202 (3.3 Litre) Triple carburetor, I6 engine, as opposed to the 308 (5.0 Litre) single quad barrel carby V8 in the A9X and SLR5000.
