Why not a FG f6 wing ?

Cause I personally like the BF F6 wing better.

Ah if only there was an fgx GT. That's the best fgx rear end I think I've seen so far.

Finally been told that my smoke manual xr8 (ordered in October 2014) is slated for a May 15 build. Probably late May/June delivery.

Also told that there will be no further allocations of manuals...guys wanting manuals better hunt down dealers with free manual allocations....

Anyway, pretty excited, to make sure my driving is up to speed in preparation for the xr8 (and cause I feel excited like I was when 18 and getting my first car) took my Honda Euro manual with quarter of a tank of fresh 98 premium around a uhmm local circuit, understeer everywhere, gutless up the hill straight, left hand fast sweeper chronic understeer, and then the brakes started going off....

Did this circuit in a M3 manual with the 4 litre v8 which made the nether regions tingle, the Honda was so underwhelming in power....the Xr8 cannot come soon enough....

Looks nice, be good to see when its finished and on different camera angles...looking at that has got me thinking of maybe eventually putting a GT wing on my XR8 (when i get it hopefully next year) and maybe have it painted in the dark grey to match the mirror,grill, and wheel acents, but wouldn't want to drill more holes in the bootlid for the middle support (maybe foam or double-sided tape instead) so i could revert back to the standard spoiler if need be.

You might find the FG DJR Bobtail and FG G6E Turbo bob tail will also fit as the FGX boot lid profile seams to be nearly the same as FG give or take a 1/4 mm here and there.

fgpsi · 04-03-2015, 11:49 PM

The Djr one could work

Just buy a spare bootlid fit one with a wing and change them over at will.

FOCUSonTHIS · 05-03-2015, 03:41 PM

Good to see clear side indicators as a running change

Ford17 · 07-03-2015, 05:48 PM

Just put a deposit down on a winter white manual XR8.

Last one the dealership had in their 2015 allocations, apparently.

Due sometime towards the end of this year.

I didn't see this anywhere else so I thought I'd put it here.

Images captured by CarAdvice’s spy photographers suggest a high-power Ford Falcon Ute could be in the works before the Blue Oval brand retires the iconic nameplate in 2016.
Fitted with an FPV front end from the defunct Ford Performance Vehicles arm that ceased manufacturing in 2014, the Ute carries a V8-style bonnet bulge, along with blacked out wheels.

You reckon they would do a bigger ute than the GTF Pursuits? It would seem to me that if they were going to do that they would've done it then. Possibly just journo's grasping at straws.

Dust off the camouflage.

I'm sure a High powered Falcon ute would be more exciting than a FWD Chinese Commodore anyway. ��

But we'll see

OLD BALDY · 09-03-2015, 07:07 PM

How low can you go spyman!!!! Who is interested in FWD Commy?

**PepeLePew** · 09-03-2015, 07:16 PM

Hmmm might hit the subscription button again......though I'd prefer to see a F6 style ute and some work done to make the front and rear look more physically comfortable with each other

jimt3te50 · 09-03-2015, 07:59 PM

I know it isn't strictly FG-x but does tick a few fgx buttons and may help guys debating wings etc...

Bossxr8 · 09-03-2015, 08:40 PM

Quite clearly a proving ground work ute judging by the tray and push bar on the front.

They have got this way wrong if they thing this is some sort of prototype, as we all know they have killed the idea of a V8 ute.

Hey,
They are very old shoots as the pics don't have the new wire fence in the back ground.
