Ford XR6 Turbo
June 12th, 2007 - Posted by Alan Howard
I took my new car for a test drive today. The Ford XR6 Turbo. I haven’t got it yet, but it’s just a matter of time. Based on the colour that I drove today, Deidre and I have decided that’s got to be the colour I’ll be getting. We both like it a lot! It’s called ‘Conquer’, and it’s quite a good shade of blue. As Deidre said, it’s got ‘pizzazz’, and you can’t have a performance vehicle without that certain pizzazz. I agree! Here’s a few photos.
I took Deidre for a drive in it, enjoying the performance. And what performance! Oh my, it was… awesome. Flooring the accelerator pushes you right back into the seat, and the car just leaps forward. You can hear - and feel - the roar of the engine, and on top of it is the whine of the turbo, smashing you forward. That’s the only way I can describe it.
Once again, Deidre was grinning like a cheshire cat - along with me, of course - and making sure I understood that I’ll be driving her to work, and picking her up, and taking her shopping, and… just going for a drive!
An awesome car, and I’m really excited that I’ll be getting it soon!

Alan,
glad you’re excited about the new vehicle.
Is this model the same one that’s called the Ford Fusion in the US?

Hi Chance. No, there’s no equivalent model outside of Australia.
