Kind of strange though they would portray an XR8 bonnet but XR6 wheels? But I guess with a CGI you can show whatever you want!

And it was early days back then, anything could have and most likely did change since.

Not as we've known it since the BA days by the looks of it.

It's wider and less pronounced. But still a bump that xr6 don't get.

Surely it's looking more and more like we'll see like VF at least two XR8 specced models? One with bigger wheels and brembos and a base version??

Only if they run different tunes. They won't make a 335 without brembos, that means that there may still be a 315 with out, aka GS

OK ..... IF the XR8 does not have a 'real' bulge AND is relegated to the 315 tune ....... is it wrong that I would be quite happy about that considering an XR8 will not better the FG 5.0 GT?

I think at least two XR8 models with two different tunes, 315 and 335 is obvious. Allows them to stagger the models and price points.

Still can only imagine 1 only V8 XR8 plus options. Cannot see 2 fitting into the line up at all!

So the bulge sounds a lot like the Gt500 bulge...minus the speed holes.

I would have also bet on a two model XR6t lineup two, but the chance of an F6 spec engine appears to have been ruled out. I think for simplicity and efficiency on the line we will see two or three preconfigured XR8 models.

Here is the interior of the new 2015 Ford Edge.....
That stitching on the door card leather inserts looks familiar.

I reckon what was planned and what we will get are 2 different things. Four models between the 2 power plants would be a stock controllers nightmare. XR6T = cheap performance, XR8 = big daddyo

Surely a base XR8 at a similar price point to the XR6t and one or two big daddyo (FPV replacements) would be a smart move? Quote:
Also think about all the entry level V8 buyers they could try and claim back from Holden, sadly with only 2 years of a model run return FPV customers might not be high on Fords priority list.. Maybe FPV owners after a second car?

The clowns at Holden even take out the centre brake light from a VF SV6 ute to offset the cost and features when stepping up to a SS ute, there must be money in it. (I personally can't see how having two body looms and sailplanes for your utes can work but they do it).
