FG X, The Last EVER Falcon - Picture & Discussion Thread

[Callum31]

Well it's what I've been told and that's by a guy who has seen it as his mate works for Ford. But of course he couldn't share much as he would lose his job.

[amiers]

I was told from a dealer principal it is FZ at the moment but not locked in. there will be no power increase to the I6 only remapped for better L/KM. 3 new colours, new interior colours and patterns, slight changes to the ICC and a few tech things. that's all folks!

[Bossxr8]

I have seen one of the new colours, it's a gold colour, maybe a bit like HSV's Hackett Gold used on the VT SV99? It was a lighter gold colour than Tiger Gold that every second VT was painted.

Looks good too.

And yes, a new wiring loom isn't going to make extra power, cause that's all the I6's are getting that's different.

[Luke Plaizier]

So to make everyone right, maybe there's a Dual-mapped PCM with Eco and Power modes.....just needs sufficient Flash for the 2nd tune and program logic, and a button which requires connection via a new LOOM.

There, are we all happy now?

Oooo I like that colour

[Bossxr8]

Yeah I reckon it looks good. Bit of a missed opportunity there though because I think they should have done the GT-F solely in that colour with black stripes, just like the XR GT. It does look similar to GT Gold.

Such a shame as mine surpassed 250kw before i opened the engine.. no idea if it would have passed the sniff test as mandated today though ?

Underdrive / tune / zorst easy killerwatts !!

[kempy311]

Spyman come out come out where ever you are.

[OLD BALDY]

Maybe we need SPYMAN04!! (just like Rocky films)

how can he tell how much power it puts out from seeing it?

I've seen GTs with 335 stickers on them and still don't know how much power they have

[Stazza_Brendan]

Someone posted this on facebook just before. No real details. Just that it was taped up on the front and rear and missing badges.

[Professor Farnsworth]

that just looks like a Honda Accord Euro tester or something, LHD too by the look of it - or maybe some sort of Ford hybrid as the badge does look Ford-ish

rear door line is different, door shape - and reports are FZ will use FG doors - nose is too low

Then again maybe i'm completely wrong and that's the XR6/Turbo, in which case i'm not a fan

[SensationFG8]

It looks very FG like although there are some differences to the front bumper that stand out. Hard to tell in the dark colour but great to see something new!

[Stazza_Brendan]

Looks like FG window trim like on the G6ET. and the bodyline along the bottom looks similar.
Late model BF2 18inch wheels as well.

[Professor Farnsworth]

they're not BF2 wheels - they're similar but the channels and end bits closer to the tyre are shaped differently

[naddis01]

That is that Chinese thing again. I am sure there are pics of it covered up earlier in this thread.

[Professor Farnsworth]

here are a few differences i've noted on a comparo pic. Also looks to have no projectors and no sign of DRL's

[Grippy]

I doubt the brake caliper location would change between FG and the new model too.

[MAD]

Definitely not the new Falcon

[Hawkeye84]

This not the new falcon. Its the chinese concept car doing its round.
It was clarified in earlier posts - page 23 - post 685

[CyberWasp]

It is the new Chinese made 2017 FWD Falcon in final phase of testing......not

[Sloth]

Hawkeye is correct. But that mule has fg headlights tacked on for sure. And these have been spotted around broadmeadows have they not? Is Ford Aus helping develop this car?

If that's a new Ford they've moved the front axle back, and the bonnet seems shorter (but that could be camera angle.)

Look at the amount of metal between the wheel and the front door, then compare it with an FG.
Is there a difference or is it just me?

(edit, just saw Farnsie's post....... as you were

[Smoke Pursuit]

Yep the chinese car.

They have taken the plastics off it.

Those are FG headlights :P

[rancidpunx]

Its the headlights that through it for me, then take in the rest of the details and its definitely not a Falcon.

[Stazza_Brendan]

FG headlights and the bodyline around the sill had me. as well as BF2 looking wheels.

[Hawkeye84]

Maybe Ford AUS struck a deal in china to get rid of some overstocked FG/BF parts?

[anto]

Goes to show how similar cars look these days

[XRtowcar]

Not the Chinese Commodore is it?
