Back on topic, this is the cover of the latest Motor mag, I left my copy at work so haven't read the article yet.

Looks like Ford must be making the RS badge their performance version of all their cars.

Awesome! So keen for this :) on a side note, the little competition down the bottom of the magazine cover is definitely gonna get taken out by that V40 T5 ;)

I do like the bonnet vents, I've been looking at doing something similar for a while, people have done the XR8 bonnet on G6E T's a few times and I don't mind it, I want something subtle to go with the car, most of the items on eBay etc. are just junk stick on stuff.

I'm currently tossing up between two ideas, firstly something along the lines of a 2008 BMW M3 bonnet like this http://www.carid.com/vis-racing/m3-style-carbon-fiber-hood-mpn-07bme922dm3-010c.html?gclid=CjwKEAjwkcWrBRDg5u6SuPS11C0SJAChLLAHGBFgl6XIA0LLVtQRDMzGKrPso6LutggPqXZBHEV9ahoCS8Tw_wcB

Or more than likely, this mock up GTHO bonnet minus the bonnet pins of course http://imgur.com/5FRlJpe

Since I love the white-with-black/red-accents look (Golf GTI, Nismo GT-R, etc) this looks great to me.

Buuuuuuuuuut the red trim along the windows? I'unno about that one.

Still hyper interested, might be worth getting deeper into debt for!

Holy crap a falcon with a RS badge? I really hope this thing is a bit bonkers. Needs Jim's GT's wide body mods and tyre combo to make it proper bat sh*t.

Looks like I will be trading the g6et then...seen quite a few xr6's and a few 8's in the flesh now. Honestly that front only looks weird when photographed at certain angles. They look mint to me...

Other than that mag cover the interwebs turns up nothing though?

Not surprising really, I expect Motor got this story and Wheels will have first test drive or a story on another big project Ford have on.

The car manufacturers want to keep the media onside, as they help drum up interest, so they tread a fine line by giving different exclusives to each one.
