I'm a big fan of the Territory, now even more so. It'll be interesting to see how they price it though.

[SECURITY]

imagine throwing one of them engines into an xr6 and making it 4wd turbo.

that'd be a nice little project.

Cut price Porsche Cayenne anyone???

Love it.

cayenne = death

cayenne by ford = cheap death

Niiiice idea! Almost an Aussie WRX equivalent (notice I DIDN'T say an Aussie GT-R eqiv'? The idea wouldn't equate to a Group A tourer...or could it?). Any takers?

LoL

Got fuel bill?!

[SECURITY]

245kW and 480Nm performance pack and a bonnet air inlet to signal the extra go.

It is available only as an all-wheel-drive, six-speed automatic.

a standard ford xr6t is around the 240kw mark anyway. would it be possible to use the drivetrain to make a standard xr6t 4wd?

if ford released an xr6t 4wd i'd buy one.

The Ford territory's are suprisngly good on fuel. 12.8 for the awd or 12.2 for the rwd.

No doubt being the turbo it will use slightly more but driven well it will return the same economy as its n/a version.

This has been proven to be true with the skylines and xrt fords so why should it be any different with the territory.

hehe..

So what the fuss about? a turbo tank is not a new thing.. Ever heard of a Nissan Patrol?? what a performance vehicle those are!!

Factory claimed 12L/100kms. tongue.gif

hehe.. I love the new average thing they have got going.. so if you do city driving expect about 16L/100km.. country, then maybe down to 10L/100km..

I think we all agree that claimed fuel usage is just that... claimed.. Actual will more often than not be much worse! However, as far as its direct competition goes, it should be a good package =)

Note: I'm NOT a Ford fan at all =D

The R32 RB20DET is claimed to have 10.5L/100km's. I used to achieve that with the stockish rb20det.

Even now after its been tuned, injectors replaced as the others were stuffed, o2 sensor replaced its now getting 10.6L/100km's with the rb30det.

Prior with the buggered injectors it was getting 13-14L/100km's towards the end.

The oldies V8 100series Landcruiser.. Rated at 16L/100km's, that gets 17L/100km's, and my old dear is a lead foot. She loves that toyo v8 growl.

I think the average is a fairly good indicator.

The Territory being only slightly heavier than the Falcon it shouldn't be much different, possibly highspeed cruise may due to aero thats about it.

my R32 on its 2L did 15L/100km city driving.. about 11L/100km highway. Piece of crap 2L there was a massive difference between highway and city, and i drove it nearly all city.. as would your average Territory family car.

So I think the country driving averaging out the shitty city fuel economy is misleading..and it should be broken down as per the old days.

[No Crust Racing]

Around town my RB25DET will average 12-14L/100k's easily, not sure what it's claimed usage is. That to me seems about right for a car of it's weight and with a regular PSSHT =)

Woops, getting off topic =) Yeah Turbo Territory... Yet another over powered family car =\ I'm gonna need to mod my car up just to keep speed with traffic =\

I only ever drive mine locally... No open road.

15L per 100 is pretty damn bad.. To the usual 50litres thats around 330-340km's per tank.

Depending on how much I am stuck up it I get no lower than 410-430kays per 50litres. Thats a lot of spirited hills driving.

General driving to work/uni and back up to the oldies I get pretty much spot on 470km's per tank.

The rb20det was pretty much the same.
