MMMMMMM interestintg point what will they call the xr when it does have a 200kw 4 cyl in it ???

This idea is totally preposterous but perhaps when the new 4 bangers arrive in the falcon the thinking might be that Ford does the sporty 4 and 6 variants, XR4 and XR6 and leave the V8's to FPV like GS, GT, GT-H and so on..
I guess in that way Ford can be the environmentally friendly brand in todays politically correct world but still have a hand in the performance world through the backdoor with FPV.

complete speculation of course...hopefully way off the mark.

Why not offer the original paint codes that they came out with as well as the modern colours,Will this now make the GS more collectable than it already is?

(hope so)

Are there any hi res pics floating around yet? A frontal 3/4 shot would be nice.

Are you sure about that, they were working on a turbo 1.4 for it with around 130-140 kw.

thunderoo · 07-09-2009, 07:28 PM

Some pics that i took at the Muscle car Masters at Eastern Creek last weekend.

**DJM83** · 07-09-2009, 07:52 PM

Im still not sold yet, but i think its a good move though.

Coogs289 · 07-09-2009, 10:17 PM

Thanks for the awesome pics

So the GS comes with F6 or GT wheels?

Cheers, Anthony

I just hate it. GS was an option on regular cars. GS was never a model, just an option. It belongs well in the past. XR is a model.

And to add to it, those GS logos belong to the past. Horrible on a modern car.

I have based my opinions on what I have read on a couple of Ford sites, but, like all info, that is subject to change.

How exactly?

I would think a higher KW specced engine over an XR8 isn't classified as just a sticker pack .... for starters?

Its nice car , quite tastfully done . An looks great in the winter white or what ever it called now.
I think it will serve it purpose quite well .

block58 · 08-09-2009, 12:14 AM

Just realized it has the XR front end. Wonder why they didnt use the FPV one?

This one looks to have the Brembo upgrade

Falc'man · 08-09-2009, 01:09 AM

Can't be Brembos; I thought they came with glow-in-the-dark lighting

Looks nice in white.

theboss290 · 08-09-2009, 01:27 AM

HOT!!!

;)

merlin · 08-09-2009, 09:55 AM

Looks quite nice in the white.

dallasv8 · 08-09-2009, 10:37 AM

This is a bit old but has info on the basic details of it, as well as spotted prototypes, but it seems to have gone quiet though, so maybe it's on hold or has been cancelled?

Because that would make it a GT

banarcus · 09-09-2009, 09:28 AM

Looks better than a GT. Heaps better. Just get someone to flash tune it and you'd have a stinker.

GS608 · 09-09-2009, 09:54 AM

that white one looks horn..pretty good idea, would be nice if the GS sticker on the back was an actual badge though

HO 3 · 09-09-2009, 01:35 PM

Looks good to me, may be priced too keenly to other heavily discounted premium FPV demo/old stock products to provide enough value for some guys though, time will tell.
