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

[Callum31]

Except not LED Strip at the bottom of the light as that's what the G series will have, Ford revealed these dual ones in the tease vid, which have now been made and are able to put on test models now, not having to use the G series ones on the XR versions.

The DRL's will be exactly as pictured:

I assume the coolant temperature gauge is still in the cluster, so what is it and why? Seems a bit gimmicky to me, only because it just says "Engine", therefore is meaningless.

EF = 157kWs
EL = 157kWs
AU1 = 157kWs
AU2 = 157kWs
AU3 = 157kWs
BA = 182kWs
BA 2 = 182kWs
BF = 190kWs
BF 2 = 190kWs
FG = 195kWs
FG 2 = 195kWs

Yeah no... "at least 5kw with every new Falcon"...

It's been hinted on here plenty of times (by people in the know) that Ford will be concentrating on economy...etc over gaining a few extra kWs.

Unfortunately I'm more inclined to think that it won't get woodgrain :(

Hey,

Look at the bumps on the wheel more upspec cars

Hey,

Would have to be oil temp as the hoses would be glue at the top temp on the scale

Did you drain the colour from that pic or is everything inside going to be grey? (bland, boring, cheap looking)

[Nikked]

Big red button...XR8 has Nitrous? lol

[nstg8a]

Love the big emergency stop button lol

Yes I thought so, but what I was trying to say is that it should state whatever it was reading, not just "Engine".

[Road_Warrior]

The red emergency stop button suggests, no. It's grey, bland and boring. Unless you option the alternative colour.

[Callum31]

Hey Nikked, the 'Bucket' doesn't go high enough if you look properly around the lenses so it can't be it. It's just using G series Headlamps in this pic, not the official XR ones

[Nikked]

Be cool if some component suppliers gave us some hints :-)


Don't mind the grey interior...I look at VE's with the red in the dash and puke...even the 00's obsession with coloured leather was hit and miss...

But then you look at the XR50 interior with the colour variations including black console, which makes it a very nice place to be in.

That steering wheel looks identical? They on diff is better looking leather and stitching on the seat, and those extra lines in the door card leather.

I still think there is one or two LEDs btw the globes why would you slit the led strip in the lens white base that is if it's continuous

Hey,
Your missing the point here this was on an XR6t as it's full of chrome in grilles

Had a crack at a chop tonight, before I saw the latest batch of spy shots.

Obviously it'll need a little refinement, as things become a little clearer.

Few more...


Top is the buckets plain with LED DRL's, bottom is a neon style tube (think BMW, Volkswagen golf etc....)





but its bed time...

[Nikked]

One more thing...


One thing about the neon tube style DRL, is that its more expensive to produce...massive investment for Ford to have to separate types of lights (neon tube for XR, l.e.d for luxo/base), rather then just a lense/reflector swap (BA-FG). So the LED strip could be constant between versions, and the reflector housings change, with the XR's getting the "dual hockey stick" buckets finished off in a high-lustre, while the G-series/base spec get normal elliptic buckets...



A lot could happen between the CGI motorshow preview and actual production (ADR's, bean counters etc) that effect the final product.

[spyman03]

Hey,
As long as it don't get called XR8-F we should be happy, this led thing is to pay homage to the bumps in the old cars lights

Who makes the Headlights for Ford? Are they made in Australia?
