The Holden UTEster is a concept car produced by Holden, unveiled at the 2001 Melbourne Motor Show. Holden worked in conjunction with Car Tech and Paratus to create the UTEster.[1] It was a convertible (targa top) coupé utility model based on the Holden Ute. The name is a portmanteau of ute and roadster.[2]

The UTEster's interior and exterior had a yellow and black theme. It featured 19-inch wheels and an Alpine entertainment system. The decklid was a split fold design, with the front section used for holding the removable top and rear glass panels and the rear section used as a traditional cargo bed.[3][4]
