Taken from the XR5 Forum...

The cars will be coming in standard RS spec with the addition of the luxury pack that includes the rain sensing wipers, auto headlights, etc. 224kw and 440nm torque. The original numbers showed 100 green, 75 white and 75 blue. This number has been lowered to 220 over the weekend, but I haven't heard from ford if that number has changed. I don't even think every dealer knows about it yet.

At this stage every dealer will get the opportunity to have 1 each and with the original numbers the top x number of xr5 dealers would get a 2nd. There is no confirmation of what colour will go where, and as Barnesy has said, good
luck getting a transfer to another dealer once someone has their mitts on it.

The car will be $59990 plus onroads, but that price can probably change. It will be the 5 pot motor.

$59990 is expensive but it worth paying it.....and i m just guessing that if there will be small number of rs are coming here you can not make a deal to lower the price

Yeah, no chance to get it cheaper with only 220 coming in. They will all be sold before they even arive i'd imagine.

What a fkn shame is all I can say. I would have bought one if they had sorted it all out a while ago and brought in sensible numbers...but the pause was painful and now I'm luke warm even if there was one unclaimed. I will hopefully be getting a ride in one while back in the UK next month... I hope it doesn't blow me away - or I will come back frustrated Im sure.

$60k is a lot of money though for a car with power on par with our stage 3's....then you have to go in the wallet again to get the gains there getting back home (impressive gains mind you)

How do you get on the list I wonder.. I called FPV 4 mths ago and they said no go for this one..and wouldnt assist on a personal import - but it seems ford have changed there mind.

Interesting.

They are coming in through Ford Australia, not FPV. The only way to get one is call a dealership and pay a deposit. Each dealership is only meant to get 1 to sell.
