Default FG MK2?? *Pics inside*
I spotted these parked out the back of a well known race teams shop this morning.

FG MK2? FG design that never made it?




Not sure what the go with the F6 is though, looks the same as the current model...who knows - I'll post it up anyway. You could see the clips and holes where the camouflage went as well. Looking very worse for wear.



Sorry for the busted looking pics, taken from my phone

not FG MK2. that was the initial design that was then changed to what we have now.

That is a very rare F.E.V.

That's what I want to know - especially at a Ford team that currently has nothing to do with Ford.

Interesting to see what the XR front might have looked like - I wonder if they will resurrect it?

I'm so glad Ford shelved that ugly thing. Fog lights half way up the bar is too unbalanced for me.

They look like BA Xr8 mags to me. Perhaps it was a ex test car from Ford...hence the thrashing.

its not weird at all, test cars only need the basics for the test, not all the trimmings.

Also ford have sprayed there rims black for a while now. Still no explanation on the location though, unless they did some hot weather testing further north and couldn't be bothered coming all the way back.

I prefer the front end they went with, the foglights on this XR look like an afterthought.

It looks like they may have been trying to carry the "raccoon eye" look across all models.
The design is similar to what BMW have done on the newest 5 series, a wide smiling air dam.
