Looks like there will be a ute version of the GTS-R and W1. So the GTS Maloo won't go down in history as the fastest production ute in Australia. Whaddaya reckon?

Badge 485kw ... actual rwkw ~350 ... probably nothing that special really. The norm when it comes to these guys.

Soon after Maloo will be extinct as well. So there's no difference there.

Hard to be excited with the Un bogan prices. I'm not missing out on beer for the rest of my life to buy a hopped up ute. **** that.

Good to see them dropping in an LS9 but those VE onward Maloo's still have the ugliest *** around.

Badge aside, isn't this car what people wanted? A stonking big and powerful V8? Weren't people upset Ford didn't offer the sprint, etc in a ute? Here you go...

Pity you couldn't put an aluminium tray on them like the old VZ. Now that would be insane!

Price is a bit outrageous. I understand it is limited but wow. If I wanted a fast ute I'd be in an FG F6 with some dollars put into the motor and get more power anyway? Each to their own I suppose.

I think most of the utes have more weight over the rear axle these days than the sedan sibling, Falcon utes were like this I am pretty sure through BA-F series, not sure if it changed in FG, but most of the modern Falcon utes were heavier at rear than the sedan I thought due to strengthening for load carrying etc.

That's Rare Air.................The Fastest, Last Australian Built, 2 Door Supercar...........the high price of a ticket to ride might keep the entrepreneurial flippers greasy mitts off of them.
