Welcome to another Episode of Ross Reviews AU on this weeks Video we take out this Premcar FGX XR8 Holy Grail! All the Options Where Ticked "Full Package" Installed and this car is massively improved in not only pure Supercharged V8 Performance but in its Handling as well! It really is amazing how this 1800kg 4 door family sedan can move the way it does at speed in the corners!
Using the Miami as a starting point the Premcar team turned everything up to 11. There’s a huge array of upgrades that take the 5.0-litre supercharged V8 from 351kW and 570Nm to an awesome 483kW of power and 753Nm of torque. That’s more power than the HSV GTS-R W1, which makes the Holy Grail the most powerful Aussie muscle car ever made.
To achieve that Premcar added a new cast aluminium intake manifold, triple pass intercooler, isolated air-to-water heat exchanger and recalibrated the ECU to raise the rev limit to 7000rpm. There’s also a new exhaust upgrade, a 3.0-inch stainless steel bi-modal system that allows the engine to breathe more freely and sound suitably loud and aggressive.
The result of these changes is the best engine I’ve ever experienced in a Falcon. The power and torque are so linear across the rev range so it never feels lumpy or stressed, it simply builds speed at an alarming rate. Squeezing the throttle even halfway unleashes so much grunt it feels as quick as any FPV, and if you bury your right foot the speed continues to build and keeps building until you run out of road. The Holy Grail has so much power it feels like it will run on forever if you let it - it’s a fantastic engine that lives up the GT-HO legend.
And the noise! The new exhaust sounds so great when you unleash that performance, there’s a beautiful V8 growl coupled with the whine of the supercharger under the bonnet.

Both Ford and Holden reached the pinnacle with their final models...and then they were gone. One of the saddest moments in Aussie history. I know why...but seeing how amazing this car is it's still very painful to swallow.

[@RossReviewsau]

It’s just not fair to the world 🥲😞

[@rc70ys]

I wouldn’t call Holdens last car (Opel) as at their pinnacle But I agree I think the market was there for them to have continued Ford and Holden

[@kers225abk2]

​@rc70ys op was probably referring to the gtsr w1 but hey, i could be wrong.

[@BadApe351]

@@rc70ys Let me correct myself. The VF I would consider the last decent Commodore. Yes the ZB was Opel rubbish...so bad that I didn't even rate it as a Commodore when it appeared. That's where I went off track hah! But what do I know? I'm a Ford man through and through anyway.

[@jrbuch]

One of my mates was a development tester for Ford, at the period when this car was made. We had a prototype to test and put kilometers on - he'd share the car with us and we'd all have a drive. One interesting thing to note - the engineers apparently tweaked the supercharger by removing some rubber seal which gave more whine. The production cars with the Miami engine were quieter. I remember my first time driving the Miami. It was a revelation compared to the old 5.4 and felt like an utter rocketship.

[@robertfoskett1016]

I agree with it not being whiney enough. Love the sound of a supercharger.

[@MartinJones123]

A great review of a special car... However an extra $45000 for a kit on a car was a big ask when the base car was just an XR8, as opposed to a production HSV... Ford and Holden both went out with a bang! Edit: This car has been driven a bit

Thats an insane car can't imagine going full pelt with a car like that. But at least it will stop proper with proper suspension, rear trailing arm upgrade, stiffer chassis.

Great review of the XR8 Holy Grail. I didn’t know they only sold 47 of the 100 kits but it doesn’t surprise me. With the costs of the kit and some people wanting to keep their XR8 stock even if they could have afforded it. The kit sure transforms the car, power and handling wise. It’s a great looking and sounding car. Thanks for the review.

$$$$ and is just a kit at the end of the day. potential buyers probably didn't see the kitted cars holding value in the same way as something that rolled out of the factory as a limited edition would have, and that's half the appeal to those buying them I think. That said, the fact there is only 47 now probably will help their future value I guess

Great review, at $45K it was a hard sell, so not surprised only half sold, also other than the wheels it looks like a normal XR8 or GT. Also, it wasn't exclusive to the FGX model, any Miami powered Falcon could get the kit, ie, FG GT, GS, GTP etc.

Cool vid Ross that FG-X is insane. I wonder what happened to the other 53 kits. When the XA GT-HO p4 was canned they had heaps of left over parts that I've heard found their way into normal GT's & Fairlane's etc.

[@whakatu4life285]

RPO 83

[@351tgv]

they were made to order so if they stopped at 47 then that's it, remember these Premcar kits are not "official" Ford backed and Premcar waited until the 3 year warranty has ended for all FG and FG-X before they even announced that the "Holy grail" kits could be installed as Ford Australia probably told them that owners would loose warranty if they did mods to the vehicles. It's the same thing that happened to Peter Brock "HDT" when GMH told them no to the VL Commodore getting IRS for the Director and other Commodores that HDTwanted to do, the difference here is that Premcar waited Peter did not and thus would of voided warranty of those cars he did mod (some 14 that converted).

_❤ GREAT REVIEW ROSS 👏🏽…I’m an old Ford fan from way back, probably like a few of you here, that said you’ll know that Ford (Corporate) after the mid 70’s never had the same long term commitment to promote/build their performance product like GM. Yes, Ford did a great job on the budget they had, no argument, but just like this awesome PREMCAR XR8 they never followed through when there was an opportunity to upstage Holden_ … _you can’t take away from GM the way they supported the performance arm of Holden, IMO_

[@Internetbutthurt]

Holy Grail is very cool, and while its able to rev to 7K its an over priced upgrade essentially. Herrods did (in 2016) and could probably still do an upgrade package that makes comparable power and more torque than a W557, suspension upgrades, trans tuning for about 10K less than the base Holy Grail upgrade of $24K, so about $14K and was still on 98 and no exhaust work. Necessary wheels and rubber are extra. Appreciate the engineering and compliance work but premcar is a company trying to make money filling a niche.

For 45k is a bit too much, for that money is could build an xr8 over 1000hp. There are places doing 1000hp kits for 25k and you will still have enough money left over. For 600hp plus people are only paying 10k to 17k. Depends where you go. I remember herrod did a package for 1000hp for 25k If you do handling upgrade, 3k to 4k on suspension and 3k to 4k on Better brakes. 25k+14k= 39K, still much cheaper.

[@RossReviewsau]

It was expensive

[@NoOne56488]

​@@RossReviewsau Yeah it is, If it was around 15k i would've got it done maybe.

[@frankcapaldi3114]

Until you drive it, you would never know that it is worth every cent. When you can throw this car into turn 1 at Eastern Creek at 205kmh, then you know where your money has gone.

Doesn't look like a W1...lol...if looks can kill with the W1...ya goofy m8te from Australia

[@RossReviewsau]

It’s more sleeper

[@moosethe1st910]

Still has not defeated the VF GTS 557 at 735hp

[@RossReviewsau]

Would be interesting on dyno tho

[@moosethe1st910]

​@@RossReviewsaugo test it

$100,000 for a falcon to beat a gtsr in a drag race 😂

[@RossReviewsau]

Gtsr w1 was 170k remember so actually was a deal for the power

[@johnboy5167]

In a drag race my money is on the Holden 😂

[@mrdonny3501]

I watch your video's and never like. Only because when you are in incar video you have the sound from the outside. Can you keep outside sound to outside video and inside sound to in car sound. Just like to hear in car sound. Just a little bitch on my side but I do like your video's. Cheers

[@RossReviewsau]

With my microphone set up you will hear nothing but my voice… I layer in the exhaust at a reasonable sound level to make the video more accurate

until u realise how heavy it is on fuel

[@RossReviewsau]

worth every cent

You don’t buy an 8 cylinder for its fuel economy

[@Jay-bo7bo]

@@joe2653no you dont, but when you compare its economy to other v8’s out there such as c63’s and lexus rcf they are better on fuel

[@marktiltins8845]

🤡

[@tba3900]

Actually the FGX XR8 is very good on fuel . Leaving it on cruise control ADL to Mel 8.1/100 while the new raptor was 16/100. Trumping both FGX Turbo 7.9/100. And if you buy or own one, fuel economy isn’t high on the priority.

Do yourself a favour and replace sync2 with a sync 3.

[@rubinmike-litt1068]

Well Ford made AU's and got it perfect there. Might not be the fastest falcons, but they are by far, the best.

[@MartinJones123]

Sorry but AU's are crap compared to this...

[@novakjovanovic7313]

Why are AU's the best? Serious question?

[@rubinmike-litt1068]

@@novakjovanovic7313 most reliable. Least problems. Ask nearly anyone that has had one and then got newer models. They always say they regret selling their Au and often end up going back to them.

[@rubinmike-litt1068]

@@MartinJones123 sorry, not crap, this newer thing is just faster but won't last as long.

[@rubinmike-litt1068]

@@MartinJones123 and when it comes to crap, when I went to all fords day at willowbank, 2 fgx's did the quarter mile. Neither finished because of the same weak parts. Every Au completed their runs.... so if you go by stats about what is crap???
