With garnish lights taped up and the black colour, could pass as a new audi from the rear.

Comparing those pics of the black sedan to the original Ford released gold coloured CGI, it appears that there will be two specs of XR8?
The gold car had side mirror indicators and graphite colour mirror scalps lacking on that black car. Or would that be a prototype thing?

So XR8's have the orange repeater in the vent? Not in the mirror?

Good. I'm wanting the XR8 to be of high spec personally.

I actually saw a Jag XF today but before I caught up to it I honestly thought I had a new Falcon in front of me and camera ready, but I quickly realised it was a Jag.
Liking the LED tail lights on the Jag though compared to the old incandescent FG-X. Hope to catch one soon for photos.

These early build prototypes aren't running production pieces. Hence why bonnet and bootlid are still covered cause they are rough. |

I should also add that at the back of the XR8 bonnet bulge there is a plastic in-fill panel that blocks it off. But I think you could either remove it or cut it open to make a sweet reverse cowl.
Can't recall if the panel is at the back of the bonnet or the cowl though? |

The rear shot, im converted. Wish ford would released shots of black cars and not orange ones. Black paint and wheels, looks a winner to me.

Imagine that perfectly polished, without the covers and with dark tinting - horn!
Can't wait to see this at the dealer's and give it a squirt.
