Quite a gain there, the F6 will be hard to beat as a performance package.

V8 badge makes sense to be on the fender of the XR8 with the FPV being on the F6 and GT..

310kW F6 holy crap!!!!

GT must be around 320 - 330kW i hope!!!

310 is going to be awesome.

So whats GT going to be ? Are GT GT-P and GT-E going to have same outputs ? I think GT and GT-P may be the same as like BA/F but the E will be more. (can only hope).

Wheels has a pick of the SP, its on the side under the indicator. Sedans will have a chrome badge as indicators are in mirrors, so maybe only utes will have it.

A 310kw F6 would outperform everything on the market, they would have to make the GT's atleast 320+ which would be great for sales. It'll be interesting to see which way they go.

If they are going to be 310kw for the F6 and the V8 varient's only around 315-317kw, to me that's not much off an gap between the two, considering the differences in the past between the two.

Anyone else notice the badges go top to bottom, usually cheapest at the top, most expensive at the bottom. look where the F6 sits compared to GT-P and GT-E? maybe its a sign that F6 310 is a step up from a standard F6?

EDIT: It goes GT as the base, then GTP then F6 then GT-E, B series went F6, then GT etc. If that makes more sense.

looks like holdens recent upgrade of the 6L monster is already outdated and beaten..a 317kW R8 is no match for the mighty 310kW F6!!

F6 is gonna be off it's face!!, IMO, the GT should also be a bit of a weapon with the high-ish rev limit an an intese induction setup, I think it could turn out to be a good surprise as to how the beast goes.
