Have to admit it looks pretty nice.

looks tough, livery sucks though.

can't wait to see it in the Vodofone colours, then it'll look good.

LOL no!

I don't know if I like the FG. I'm a big Ford fan but I just think the BA/BFs lines are tougher.

[flyingfridge]

Yeah, you're right about the lines, the BA/BF is tough, but the FG is svelte.

[blitzxtr]

Dont like it looks funny. Think the Holdens look better then again I reckons the R32 GTR looks the toughest of them all LOL

[t01-100]

yeah the front end has lost its firm edges on that one.

[ctjet]

[madbung]

I dont think the front bar blends well with the lines of the car.

Cant tell if its just that photo of it, but seems to lack any fine detail on the front bar?

[r33cruiser]

has the resemblence of the VE commie.

BA was the best,

atleas they still sell a turbo'd 6 option

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

What kind of fine details would you like to see?

It's an aero package for racing, looks smooth and slick.. as it should.

I'm sure they'll have some bling on the road car.

Based on the 290kW, 520Nm 5.4-litre Boss 290 V8-powered Ford XR8 road-going sedan, the new FG-01 will be displayed on pit lane throughout the race and then take to the track for the assembled fans to witness its maiden run

Hahaha Thats a laugh...yeah the body shell was made in the same factory and it has 4 wheels...thats the only thing they have in common

I think they meant thats what it's styled to be like, the color, bonnet, headlights ect...it's meant to look like a race going xr8 (good marketing)

As oppossed to being built from an xr8.

But hey I could be completely off track

I think its just a Typical motoring journo having NFI what there talking about. bit like Ch10 claiming that the V8s had 750hp and that the LS1 in the Brute series was a 350 Chev.

IMO its should have read "Based on the FG falcon" with out mentioning the Donk because it makes it sound like the V8SC is running the 32V 5.4 and not a 302 Windsor.

It looks very FGy

Maybe paint it FGy pink colour too. Donut King? Actually that name has just got a whole lot of wrongness.
