Skooby Donating Members 398 Member For: 18y 5m 25d Location: Phillip Island Posted 31/08/10 01:42 AM Share Posted 31/08/10 01:42 AM According to the latest Wheels magazine there is to be an entry level FPV with 315kw and the GT with 335kw. The picture they show has grilles under the headlights on either side. Wheels once again referred to the GTHO having 375kw in 2011.It also said that the XR8 will be released next year, not sure if it will be supercharged, but the picture of the mule car they have doesn't have the grilles like the FPVs.And they are also bringing the Focus RS downunder (224kw). Think it said they will be limited to 315 cars and will retail for $59,995 making it the most expensive hatch in Australia putting it in direct competition with the WRX STi.
