Yes it is the same car although it has had some work done to it since Sydney.
The engine in the later shots has been stroked to 5.7 and has eight seperate throttle bodies. This motor produces 350 kws and with the right management system they reckon 500 hp could be possible. It is the motor that the t series is likely to pick up although it wiil be back at 250+ for those cars.
The exhaust and wheels also received the Herrod treatment. Not sure about you guys but I like the new wheels better

Yeah, agreed. The new ones look cleaner, I've never been a huge fan of the split / double spoke alloys. It could be me, but there seems to be something not quite right with them 
Ah if only Tickford made my ones (EL2 16's) in 17, 18, and 19"... one of the all-time sweet looking alloys!

There doesn't appear to be access to it from below to pop it open manually. Anyone have any insight? Thank you in advance...- 2
