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

I was going to say Daniel, your photo skill have gone down :P :P
That looks alright actually. I like the look of the F6 with no spoiler!

That is a very rare F.E.V. |

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.

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. |

That's what I was thinking. They were trying to give the XR's the racoon eyes too. Glad they didn't stick with it.

I do believe that was the original design FG package. Very similar to the concept pics released on various magazines before the FG's actual release. Also saw a front bumper the same as that on E-Bay a little while ago. Different

Very interesting, the much talked about FG -1 XR shows its face!
Glad they went with what we have now  Very interested to know which V8SC team it is, my bet is 888 considering they were developing the FG V8SC before the FG was released to the public.. |

It could be a F6-E test mule as it has many GT-E looks.
Rear bar, skirts & Rear spoiler. It also looks like it has brembos from the rear side shot.
