But I'm super keen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So keen for this, and the new Mustang. If only they would bring out a Turbo barra mustang.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LolI 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.
