Australia gets new Ford Falcon models
Ford has redesigned their limited-to-Australia Falcon, calling it the FG series. While it looks great, it really looks like more of a minor update on an outdated car. But with rear-wheel-drive and insanely powerful engine, who cares.
The cars will debut at the 2008 Melbourne Auto Show soon. Shown above is the FPV model by Ford Performance Vehicles. Powered by a turbo V6 or a V8 with as-of-yet unknown specs. Features include manual or automatic gearboxes, 19-inch alloy rims, Brembo brakes and the weird-yet-aggressive bodykit.
As for the standard FG Falcon offerings, there are sedan and ute pickup body styles, in both basic and sporting trims. Engines include a 261 hp 4.0L inline-6, a 209 hp 4.0L gas-powered inline-6, an amazing 362 hp 4.0L turbo inline-6 and a beefy 388 hp 5.4L V8. Trannies include six-speed manuals and four/five-speed automatics. And that’s all just the standard models.
