Default Auto Action - 5.0L XR8 ute will be FH

Reading issue 1377 Auto Action, sometimes referred to as Auto Fiction they talk about the next Ute from Ford.

Series organiser Craig Denyer said testing the FG will be a good opportunity for the FH which moves to a 5.0L V8 engine... "The change in the XR8 to the FH will see a new engine produced with all 16 Utes to use it in 2011"

Series competitor Andrew Fischer is competing in an FG XR8 Ute at this weekends Bathurst 12hr is expecting a strong performance from the car. "It should be very competitive, it has good horsepower with 15-20% more than the BF."

So, we will still have an XR8 (not XR50) & the next model will be FH?

Interesting. See how true all this is in ~ 6mths.
