While waiting for my winter white xr8s manual to arrive (August) I've be tracking available sales on line. I have noticed that the smoke and kinetic I've seen advertised don't have a black roof, I looked again on the ford web site and they still show everything with a black roof? Has anyone else notice the same?

They'd be the XR6 Sprints mate.

Was a skeptic of the Sprints until one pulled up beside me. It has a road presence of no Falcon before it, the boys at Ford Australia should be proud. And to know they finally fought off the accountants to at least give it a decent paint job inside and out, at long last.
While the VF has all the bells and whistles , it has the aura of a fake Rolex. All the things in all the right places but still fails to impress, by trying to be something it never was. The Falcon Sprint with its spartan, gadget less interior and less sculpted bodywork punches well above it's weight and is more of a car than the sum of its parts. More limited and exclusive and sentiment than anything in its price bracket and more than any M3 or C63 would ever be, and soon no amount of money can purchase a new Falcon ever again once it's dead.

I wouldn't trust the photos in that carsales ad, the lighting is playing funny buggers with how the car presents (blue car with blue sky is a no no).

All Sprint 8's got a black roof to add to the differentiation to the 6.
