Offered in classic and sporting variants with a choice of engines from the high torque 250PS straight six to the sharp and powerful Boss 260 V8 with 350PS, the Falcon is Ford’s everyman car for Australian drivers.

The Classic is a modest package targeted at family drivers, however the Boss-powered XR8 is not modest, it is an overt performance car that feels only a short way taken off a race car, with crisp handling and considerable road presence because of input from Ford’s team of enthusiastic designers and engineers.

Falcon’s success like a race car helps maintain its image a significant performance contender.
