Bf Mk Ii - Fpv & Xr - What Do We Know?

[PASHEN]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know what we can expect from the BF Mk II?

I spoke to a dealer yesterday who said there are no power increases in the XR8's and XR6T's. In fact, the only changes are dash and trim. Is that right?

What about FPV? He told me I'll have to wait until late December for the Mk II FPV's and again, there are no power increases! If this is right, the blue oval will be behind the eight ball compared to Expensive Daewoo and HSV.

I want to order a Typhoon ASAP, but wonder if there is any point waiting for the upcoming release.

Come on Ford and FPV...don't let us down.

Previously covered in this thread: Bfii Announced In Nz, Feature changes to counter VE Spec.

Maybe what was mentioned there is an indication of what will be happing on this side of the pond.

You've got only one real choice of colors for your plate too, Fantasy.

There are two new models.

All cars get 19 inch rims as standard. The optional ones will still be available but will cost less then they do now.

Looks like engines stay the same but you won’t have to wait till December. They are aiming for a release on the 26 of Oct and will be build stock from late Sept (job1)

probably wont be any change in the turbo's, most likely a change in the v8's.

when you say standard 19ins, are they the dark typhoon ones on the f6? Will they be standard and then new ones as a extra option?

Any news on if they will have Dynamic stability control on the F6?

and a no cost AUto option?

No the current dark wheels will remain the option but cheaper then they are now to reflect the standard fitment of 19 inch wheels.

Yes they are the Force 6 and Force 8. Your dealership will have information on these cars and I assume they only have the stuff that isn't embargoed.

Although the cars are referred to as having Boss 290 and F6 270 engine options I guess power levels could be altered for surprise factor on release, but for these new products if you think Senator competitor then you wont be disappointed with what they come up with.

If you want a F6 with more luxury 45 to 50 years old then the Force six is probably for you.
