As far as I know you can't buy a fairmont in turbo form maybe in the future like BA series 3 they might bring out a more dosile version of the turbo engine like 230kw but the XR6 turbo should be up to about 260-270kw before that happens. maybe your mate saw some tosser that put a turbo badge on his fairmont or it might have been a special order from the factory that cost a fortune.

I think the "tosser with the turbo badge" explanation is most likely!

... or the "mate on drugs" explanation by AMoffat.

I remember the xf fairmont ghia was the top of the litter with those famouse mesh ghia rims and efi motor they use to be cutting edge now the only good thing it has is climate ..

IIRC, the XF didnt have climate control. It just had the normal air con.

Does the BA Fairmont or Fairmont Ghia come in turbo form my mate swears he has seen two with the turbo badge on the back and a intercooler, I told him you prolly saw the radiator or air con but he swears it was a turbo, now I need to respect these guys because they know a bit about cars,, Hmm is this rumor true will this be the next VL CALAIS ???????

If anyone can shed some light on this I would appreciate it ....

its actually quiet likely that these cars were turbo fairmonts and the like, as FPV were putting turbo motors in any body they could get during development of the turbo engines. Nice cars to as, they were luxury and speed in 6 cylinder form. Not sure about the badging though, as none I saw had been badged as turbos. Haven't seen a fairlane yet with the turbo motor. would be nice but!
