But no real details as yet.

yeah i just heard a guy mention it today, reckons it was a turbo EFI 4 wheel drive falcon, i have also read before that it was taken to england for testing and it was crashed into a tree on a slippery country road...bugger

yeah i saw a pic of it ages ago.(wasnt it blue or something?). turbo 6 pulling 268 kilowatt i think. and oh yeh, with all that goodness running through four wheels.

is that the beast that you guys are talkin about?

jmartion · 11-15-2002, 00:23

- me a smart like person. -

lbfalcon · 11-15-2002, 01:10

could be, but i thought it as a xe

MADNC_8 · 11-15-2002, 01:32

the car you are thinking of is an XF yes it was a 4 wheel drive turbo running through a 6 speed box it went to england for testing but was totaled on an icy road by stupid pommy testers this is all i know unfortunatly

the vehicle never was mass produced as it was built late 87 - the enf of XF production, and would have been pointless going into profuction with the EA just around the corner

so the car isnt an XE at all
