The HSV's look good.... When I was back home on the Gold Coast in Dec/Jan (hadn't been back for 6 years) I noticed the ute's had gotten mean looking, love it.

Still think the GM product has it over the Falcon...

+1. Never had one but always wanted one, especially a custom ute like the BMW.
Many years ago, a local VW garage made a beautiful orange ute out of a type 3 square back.
I have seen pics online of a couple of 928 utes that were done better than the one here but this will still attract attention.

Steven,

I know and with 340KW (!!!! in a ute?? ) and 550Nm…. (or 456HP and 405ft-lbs…..)

The new VF is better looking but i would rather an SSV , my own wheels and a under bonnet SC… :P

Simon.

Call me crazy, but I think that 928 pickup is awesome... I'd ditch that hood and go back to stock. But that is wackiness in a good way...

I know what you mean Simon.....

I would love to see how well it puts power down, the backend is still pretty light.....

Crazy bastards race them round Mt Panorama Bathurst, and we love it.

The M5 ute is a power house with it's V10 engine, the only issue that I see is weight imbalance with the ute back you will not be able to keep the rear on the ground, otherwise I love it. I'd like to see an X5 transformed into a ute like the M5.



The 928 just doesn't do it for me, the rear window and bed suck.

Here's what an X5 ute might look like, a bit crude but that was the best I could do with Photoshop.

Here's a lowered X5 ute, the bed looks elongated.
