In Geelong today spotted a black xr6 turbo by the looks of it, the badges on the back where covered in black tape but evident it was a turbo by the badge. Front black covering over the lights and grill and bumpers.

1. Typhoon gauges inside the car.

2. Some racing bucket seats and a roll cage. Guy had a laptop that he was using, car came out of the geelong FORD plant. Had BA 18ins on it, Ba back lights. I got a few shots on my phone but you cant see anything good.

Good spot, bout time they put some boost/oil pressure guages in the Ts! But I bet they are just as useless, okay not entirely useless but not far from it, as the ones in our F6s!

Probably just the run of the mill test mule. I used to see them all the time back home from a variety of auto manufacturers. I was always curious though what was being road tested though.

May have been one of the car fitted with the updated Orion drivetrain and underpinnings, there are a few kicking around. Apparently the pre-production bodied cars will be around late in the year / early next year, so keep an eye out for those !! I saw some info saying styling cues have been taken from the Mondeo in the UK. If that's the case the new Falcon is going to look hot !!

Robin.

So something like this then?

I might be buying a new car sooner than I thought then

Post em anyway good for a look

On a side note, that Green Mondeo looks hot! Ford need a car here in Australia to fill the gap between Focus and Falcon.

Its the same with Expensive Daewoo and the Vectra.. Im led to believe that Expensive Daewoo have or are going to stop selling them here

And yes the Green one looks sweet.. The blue one has a bit of a phoon looking front bumper..
