Ford's Final Xr6 Turbo

[The Kerb Warrior]

Hey Guys,

Sooooo, I've been hearing that ford may have confirmed a final edition XR6 Turbo.

I know there were many people who said that it would NEVER happen, but it looks as though it's happening.

Quite similar to the new XR8's, it seems as though it's basically an F6 R Spec in an FG X XR6 Turbo body. 310kw, F6 GT3582R turbo, Brembo's, R-Spec suspension, and apparently starting at under 50,000.

Don't know about anyone else.... But I'm super keen.

There is nothing in that article that says yes it's coming

And the picture of an engine is from a B series

When it's on the road or in a showroom I'll believe it's here

I really hope it does happen coz I will be in for sure. Be nice if the lean on it a little more than 310kw.

GT's have heritage, the parts catalogue Miami is a beast. But the xr6 turbo has no doubt been their hero car of the past decade. From a turbo AU project that 2 ford engineers were playing around with(so the story goes) a legend was born and suddenly the v8 paled into insignificance. It would take almost 10 years and a supercharged v8 to put it back in its place and even then the fg f6 would have something to say about that....

Everybody involved in the barra engine program over the years whether it be n/a or FPV donks should feel very proud. Yeah maybe I'm being a bit of a fan boy but there really is no argument. The barra is the greatest donk tooled in Australia by a mile...can't help but think what might have been if it made it into other performance vehicles around the world.

Cmon ford aus, give one of your greatest acheivments the send off it deserves.

Yeah that's the article I read on it. So keen for this, and the new Mustang. If only they would bring out a Turbo barra mustang....

I just recall you (I think it was you anyways mate haha) writing that it would never ever come out.

I'm hoping so too, it would be a great way to send off the Charged Coyote V8 and the Turbo Barra 6 motors.

I put a link a little while back in the FGH thread or whatever it was renamed as.

It wasnt stripes...it was someone else who wagered their house or something; that it would never happen. I chickened out of coarse....cause poor kent (and cause not real bet)
