That video was great and really showed off some great detail and confirmed a few things in question. Saw a scene of the 335 intake as well Looks like Friday will be the day the XR8/range get's revealed.

Will it use the 335 rims? Or are they just placeholders for R&D to fit the Brembos and new wheels will be revealed on Friday whenever?
I wonder too if that bloke in the video has anything to do with/ works with/ is Spyman? He dropped off the scene just before official teasers were released

It's looking like this is going to murder the VF style wise. Bonnet bulge looks super aggressive.

If you had any doubts how serious Ford were at finishing the last Falcon strongly, then look no further. The attention to detail on this car is brilliant and it looks the goods. Going to be a long wait until March when I get one.

The XR detail in the headlight looks sensational. Can't wait to see the whole thing.
