2008 Falcon Spy Shots - Page 4

SODA · 03-05-2007, 07:45 PM

Guys I snapped some pics of two Orion test mules today, on the Hume Highway, can't put all the pics up yet a magazine has first dibs, but I will post a sneak peek later tomorrow. Stay tuned One of the cars looked like a XR and the other was a standard falcon. Lets just say the guys driving them weren't to happy when they saw the camera taking pictures!!

Then we can stalk them for the truth

Actually, all employees have already had viewings of the final product. It's not really top secret anymore.

In fact, one worker has been fired to taking mobile phone photos of the car during the showing.

The photos are definitely of the Orion during testing. Heck, that's probably at the proving grounds anyways.

You could have put them up here with a watermark so noone could use them.

Were the cars totally covered in cladding? What were the colours? Any distinguishable/notable features??

Sir, if these photos are decent you will be a god.

SODA · 03-05-2007, 08:23 PM

Just as promised here it is guys, I think this is a XR of some sort.

Dazza XLT · 03-05-2007, 08:26 PM

Top Effort Soda, and thanks for sharing!
Any features you noticed that stood out from the norm??

Paul · 03-05-2007, 08:28 PM

Good work mate. Also shows the car pictured in the first photo in this thread is also the new Falcon.

Note the white tarp thing over the rear 3/4 window to try and make it look smaller than it is. Same sort of thing used on the red vehicle pictured.

SODA · 03-05-2007, 08:32 PM

No worries boys, from what I could see it looks good, really good.

JBomb3000 · 03-05-2007, 08:35 PM

Good work, you can't really tell a hell of alot but it's easily the best one i have seen so far. When are you going to post the rest of them?

kocho · 03-05-2007, 08:37 PM

Soda - Awesome work.

kocho · 03-05-2007, 08:39 PM

Sorry to double post, but look at the rear windscreen. The sides sort of extend over the sides of window. I dont mind it to be honast, makes it unique, I guess.

FlipXW · 03-05-2007, 08:42 PM

Good work mate but is it possible to move the copywrite thing to the top or bottom. Its kinda covering the pic.
Oh and what magazine is getting these pics?

FPV8U · 03-05-2007, 08:45 PM

Well done Soda!

silverxr8 · 03-05-2007, 08:51 PM

Looks pretty damn good from that angle.....
Where were they Soda?

Not sure who yet, but I'm holding them for ransom!! For the moment, I will post the better and close up ones later.

Ok no worries mate. Once again good work

silverxr8 · 03-05-2007, 08:52 PM

So which way were they headed?
Maybe a trip up the mountains?

SilverXR8 thats my thoughts too, there were the two orions and a gun metal grey BF RTV ute which I think was a support/instrumentation ute

Thats more likely to be a disguise to hide the shape of the glass house and C Pillar than it is to be the final design

Exactly mate, there looked like a hell of a lot of plastic stuffed in there and tapped over.

Road_Warrior · 03-05-2007, 08:59 PM

Yeah that is definitely cladding around the rear window. Odd that the doors arent covered as well?? Also I can see an exhaust tip, a-la XR6/8

XR8 Uterous · 03-05-2007, 09:00 PM

Great work soda, but chuck up the rest of them!

Please?

I think that isn't and this is only my opinion some left over bits lying around the factory from BA/BF and probably wont be on the finished product. The standard car that was there also, has a different sort of tip to whats on the BF currently.
