cdm Member 886 Member For: 22y 2m 19d Posted 10/11/03 09:39 AM Author Share Posted 10/11/03 09:39 AM According to MOTOR, you can expect the FPV XRT to appear in about a years time at the next Sydney motor show, including 6 speed and 280kw. I don't know if the rest of the range will receive the 6 speed or not, and I doubt there would be any significant power increase if at all. Expect the usual goodies, new colours, different wheels, maybe some extra options...they will probably bring back the sunglasses holder from the AU2 or 3, ha. I would be interested to know where they are getting the six speed from though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will also handle any increase in torque the improved turbo will produceCraig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want more involvement, you can slide the selector across the gate and change gear manually, pulling back for upshifts and forward for downshifts. With truly seamless changes at any engine speed, there is simply no slicker automatic.This is probably the same trans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
