Ford has unveiled a range of high-performance six and eight-cylinder Falcons for the Australian market.
Now, we’re thinking these would make a great alternative to the Vauxhall VXR8, especially the 422hp 5.4-litre ‘Boss’ V8 with its old-school stripes.
There is also an ‘entry-level’ 4.0-litre turbocharged straight-six with just a few horsepower less, 415 to be precise.
The line-up includes the F6 Ute, Pursuit and the interestingly-named Super Pursuit Utes, the F6 sedan and GT, GT-P and GT-E luxury models.
All of them get cross-drilled and ventilated Brembo brakes and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) as standard.
Gearbox options include a ZF six-speed auto or a new Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual, which is also used by the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Corvette.
So come on Ford, I’m prepared to ditch a Mondeo for one of these - it's so bad it's good...
