That makes them heavier than the GTF!

The New XR8 is Supercharged right? Website doesn't say it is...

[Nikked]

Yes, It is...


Oh...and...


19" x 9" XR8 alloy wheels - 275/30 R19 tyres (rear)

When it comes to price you should negotiate once they have pricing, but if they are decent people they will come too you with a good price first

Imagine all the hate you will get on your Facebook page if they're not, you've only been drumming on to people for ages acting like you know all the details.

Or conversely 1761Kg instead of 1861Kg.

My BA XR8 sedan is 1745Kg, and the FPV GS is 1774.

Really like the rear end.

[SensationFG8]

The things I note most on XR8

Everything premium is standard, that means no sub 50k car.

The suspension is listed exactly the same as the xr6t except "performance tuned" versus "sports tuned".

Towing is 1600 on auto, definitely supercharged.

The rear badge still looks a bit odd.

Of course it is, you have been here the entire time right? The key people here have been confirming this for months.
Report it on your facebook page.

I'm in and the minister for finance has approved. But if it's North of 60k it's gonna have to be something really special to close the deal as in R-spec as has been suggested.

If it's not supercharged I'm out no matter the price.

[SensationFG8]

The di-vct 16 listed on the XR8 must be a typo carried over from the I6 description, the Miami is 32V and so is the coyote.

Also coyote is ti-vct not di-vct (I think Miami is just vct, could be wrong tho)

Fruit loops

[No.6]

I know im late but I just checked the specs out comparing the xr6t and xr8. The xr8 comes with EVERYTHING. I guess it'll definitely be more than 65k? Just a wild guess don't shoot me if im wrong. Has pricing been released yet?

They won't sell any at more then 65k

[LASTXR]

I realy want the XR8 but if its out of my price
range I will be just as happy with an XR6T.

Is there a leather option for the XR6T

Is that the colour they are painting GTF no 500??

It looks dark for Gold but I'm assuming that's because it's taken indoors under bad light or is it suppose to be a bronze??

XR8 looks fantastic. But then all fords do!

[b2tf]

Is it just me or does the rear XR8 badge look like its just been slapped on there? It just doesnt like right in that position.

[Mick K.]

Would have thought lane change assist would have at least been available on the higher spec models. Had this on a rental SV6 (standard feature - optional on evoke) recently and think it is a good accident avoiding feature.

Will look awesome de-badged.

Agreed. Its such a minor detail but it just makes the back look awkward...I too would remove it.

Other wise thats pretty nice.

[Ford17]

Interestingly a shorter length on the new model XR's, which results in less front & rear overhang:

FG:
Front Overhang: 954 mm
Rear Overhang: 1179 mm
Overall Length: 4970 mm

FGX:
Front Overhang: 943 mm
Rear Overhang: 1168 mm
Overall Length: 4949 mm

Turning your head is an even better accident avoidence feature.

[richo77]

Looks like a change from the dunlops to michelin, a good thing in my view.

[ford man xf]

That front end just s**ts on the Commodore design, the rear is a bit odd much like the Commodore but I suppose we can get used to it.

Looks fine but I'd prefer it on the right side

Falcon’s high-tech, renowned engines spoil you for choice and power. There’s the 4.0 litre I6 engine which delivers 195kW of power and 391Nm of torque. If thrilling performance is your thing there’s the awesome 4.0 litre I6 Turbo, with turbocharger and air induction system, giving you 270kW of power and a whopping 533Nm of torque. If that's not enough our LPG fuelled EcoLPi engine delivers outstanding fuelling costs with no compromise in performance, delivering 198kW of power and 409Nm of torque.

Nothing amazing there.

NOTE: those exact words have been up since the fg release...hence the pic of the fg with that info...but still could possibly be unchanged in engine specs, but no official word from ford ?

[Bonn]

It would look sensational with a GT (or better still TE50) rear wing

[csv8]

Price will be the decider......
