Just needs an inter-cooler behind the front bar and it's spot on.

It would be nice to see a Ford and a GT badge together again.

I like all the stripes and blackouts, it gets in their faces.

could there be a special runout XR8 come 2016?

Maybe just a few more options?

Or maybe better? A G8E perhaps?

That actually looks very impressive !!

That new bumper style really suits the front of the car and it wouldn't take much for Ford to create a few new bar moulds... ah we can only dream !!

Stop putting this stuff in my face.
It has taken months of therapy to accept all this is happening as it is.

My 5 cents is that they would easily sell a limited run of 500 of something like that.

It's a pity there isn't the numbers for someone to built a bar and side skirts like that and you could convert your XR8.

The rest is easy stripes, wraps and blackouts.

Looks great, but Ford have already serviced this market with the GT-F, imagine the backlash if something like this turned up now

Somehow I don't think Ford would think twice about that but they might leave the 351kW tune for the GTF.
