Hi Spyman, if you look closely at this latest Prototype that was taken yesterday.
Not sure about you guys, but I can clearly see the Dual LED's there, the first Falcon that i've seen them in so far... I was old the G series strip was being used while the Dual ones were still being made. Look closely guys. ON POST 3790! |

I would be surprised if workers can just invite mates in to look at complete and uncovered pre-production prototypes of unreleased cars that a manufacturer is going to great lengths to conceal. Just doesn't sound right to me. Does that sound right to you? Not having a go; it is a genuine question. |

I've had a look at said pic and I'm still of the opinion that your looking at a fancy bit of chrome work there But I could be wrong,as this is the gamma2 car and pos the top spec xr8 didn't see if,if it had the repeater on the mirror Leave it with me I'll hunt the car down for ya Spyman |

I've been told that something new is coming in relation to said dash as I've only seen the update strips in all the gamma2 prototypes I've played with Spyman |

Just so silly! The Falcon digital speedo is the best part of the gauge cluster. Gauges are stupid! Your brain has to unecessarily process an interpretation of a needle on a dial...its a 100 year old idea that should be dropped. |

The antenna is for the recharging of the Flux Capacitor so you will always be able to transport the car back to a time where Australian Cars are manufactured.

With Spymans reference to pay attention to the screen plus the addition of the antenna, could we possibly be looking at Apple's Carplay to be introduced? That would be a step in the right direction I think.

Steve, you can achieve a similar result easily. You might put the number inside a circle. The circle lights up around the number according to the value.

Will the G series get woodgrain door and dash inserts?

I hope so. Woodgrain trim when tastefully applied looks classy.
Unfortunately I'm more inclined to think that it won't get woodgrain :(

I'm starting to see what it could be, the dual hockey sticks are the buckets for the high and low beam lights, and the led strip runs underneath?

NIKKED! YES YES! THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO PROVE!!!
WHOOP WHOOP! I just didn't have the editing skills to properly prove it! It seems the reason why they were't covered is because Ford revealed them extremely clearly in the tease vid, as a 'key feature'. Where as earlier the XR wore the G series ones which were covered (being not shown in the tease vid or revealed yet, like the dual XR ones). It should be neon looking like the rear taillights. THANKYOU NIKKED! YAY! |
