Wait no, I think I see a kenne bell under the bonnet, and looking in the window im sure I can see flappy paddles, which could only mean one thing, it has a 7 speed DSG gearbox......behind that car bra there is a HUUUGE intercooler,
I reckon it's the new GTHO COUPE, all wheel drive with 351kw on each wheel......?

Yep I know it is, cause my uncle Bennys best mates is cousins with the chief head honcho of engines and body panels at FPV and his sisters best mates dad told me.. So nerrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Is that a hoverboard I see in the boot?

If you look closely you can see Allan Moffat driving too!

I think we're approaching this all wrong.

Maybe they are doing a durability test on the bra.

Testing Prodrive Performance Parts maybe?

Anyone know when they plan on releasing them?

Could be anything from front wheel drive/AWD to a 7 or 8 speed auto thats in it.
Who knows.
It could also have the Mustang IRS in it even.

Mustang IRS? Wait, what?

Exactly..."who knows". Given the generally grotty condition of the rest of the car and mis-matched wheels, really why bother with a car bra unless you're hiding something?
Before there was such a thing as car bras they used to use gaffa tape or plastic strips to cover the actual shape of cutouts and headlights...once car bras were developed 9 out of 10 new models and development hacks "caught on camera" in those "scoop" pages in, for example, Wheels and Motor magazine, were snapped wearing one.
It used to be almost a sport amongst amateur photographers to catch these cars driving around, usually in remote outback and country areas doing testing.

well the falcon does have 4 years left of life so maybe they are developing the last HOORAH.
