Australia: New FG Falcon From Ford Performance Vehicles

    0 Ratings
    MELBOURNE, Australia — Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV) has released its new range of vehicles based on Ford Australia's latest FG Falcon, complete with new-generation F6 and V8 engines: the 415-horsepower F6 and the Boss 315 V8.

    Power and torque have increased for both engines, and engine refinement and fuel efficiency have both been boosted. The 4.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine has had its power increased by an impressive 54 hp, and torque is up by 11 pound-feet.

    The Boss 315 V8 engine has benefited from a number of unique FPV engine upgrades and components, with the result that the car accelerates faster, while it still feels lighter and more powerful. A new Tremec six-speed manual transmission is another addition.

    The F6, with 415 hp from the 4.0-liter turbo six, is priced at the equivalent of U.S. $62,850. The V8 GT costs the same amount, and the premium GT-P model is priced at $72,350. The top-level GT E luxury performance model — an all-new offering — with an upgraded 5.4-liter Boss V8 engine mated to a ZF six-speed automatic with sequential sport shift, is priced at $73,310.

    What this means to you: More power and choice for the popular Falcon lineup in Australia. — Mike Jarvis, Correspondent
