The MS8 Streamliner (and Clubman) are the result of a joint collaboration between Holden and Elfin, an all-Australian Melbourne based sports car manufacturer. Their efforts culminated with the launch of the two concept vehicles, Clubman and Streamliner at the Melbourne International Motor Show on 26 February 2004. The Streamliner, a smooth-bodied Le Mans style roadster, thoroughly modern interpretation of an earlier motorsport era, was hand-built from the ground up.

The project made the best use of each orginization's strenghs, successfully leveraged Holden's design know-how and resources with Elfin's specialist skill in hand-built racing chassis production. The Elfin Streamliner MS8 show car, displayed with a single race tonneau cover and Perspex bubble screen, is finished in a brilliant red. Its aggressive front end is dominated by a large meshed radiator opening, the provile by large alloy gills. In true roadster style, it has small lift-up doors that swing open scissor-style and the bonnet is forward-opening. Further features include a big bore dual exhaust, a racing rear vision mirror, historic-style fuel cap, styled roll bar, LED combination tail lamps and large 18-inch, five spoke wheels and low profile 245/40 tyres.
