I think i've just seen Orion...(whoops, its an Aurion, nothing to see here)

[parawolf]

Driving through South Melbourne/Docklands this morning was a black 'Falcon sized' vehicle with taped down car protection front and rear. Included every one of the glass decals had black gaffa tape over it. Licence plate UGL-448 The details?

Well let me say, this car was sheet metal different from the BA/BF. Different doors, different roofline, different boot glass, different exhausts (i'll get to that bit). Interestingly, this car looked and sounded like an FPV Typhoon. Why? No bulge first up, and it had turbo wind up when this guy driving it gave it berries (and he did it on more than one occasion).

Rather than draw differences from the BA/BF, let me start with the image from The Orion Hub of Knowledge...



Remove the sculpting from the doors, they are fairly flat. The bonnet was more similar to the BA/BF, higher nose, flatter front.

Rear glass was very long, the boot lid would have been about 50cm long.

LED tail lights. Circular too. Kinda Honda Integra design from what I could make out from the car bra.

Interior? slick. Far more Audi. Emergancy Blinkers (hazard lights) button was center top of the dash above the middle air vents.

The car I saw also was completely black, wearing black Typhoon rims. Fuel filler... was on the left had rear panel.. thats different right?

As I mostly saw the rear (he was going hard) and I was in a BF XR8 ute, the rear exhausts? dual outlets each side of the rear bumper... INTEGRATED INTO THE BUMPER! Very similar to the intake ducts in the picture above in the front bumper.

Looks good. Shame I don't have a camera or camera phone. 2007 release date??!?! This car looked complete!
