Australians know how to do Ford performance cars right. I'd buy this in a heartbeat if they offered it in the US. I'd love to have a fast V8 sedan that isn't a Chrysler or GM product.

[@leechylivey4881]

if uneducted Australians did not buy hyundais etc , maybe you could have!

[@MrTrout7]

America needs this!

[@jdh825heatt]

[@danielson1989]

Sadly that was the last one.

[@HULK-HOGAN1]

No they don’t. They have the Mustang

[@nolan15nelson]

They introduced the Focus Rs/St, Fiesta St only for them to take it from us.

[@stuartwesthall]

Daniel Triantopoulos She's the l-l-last of the V8s...

[@marty.8225]

All I can say is a supercharged 335kw V8 with GT- R Spec suspension and Brembo"s for under $60,000.Even if you don't like the looks its an absolute performance bargain. We Aussies will miss them when there gone V8 Holden's included.

[@mills3375]

Marty. Agree but I love the looks of it

[@manofwar577]

And there a few at sub 50k on carsales; f@#king bargain!!

[@huntaaa4]

[@thecombatwombat833]

omg the front end is what i love about the most on the new falcons. they look mean.

[@aaroncrossling]

The Combat Wombat they look too much like a mondeo, I still love the fg's though

[@KCinemas]

It reminds me of the Lancer

[@smartey2612]

NC NC Mitsubishi copied the design from Ford since the design of the FG X is a 2014 design and the lancers design is quite recent.

[@jakob31448]

They look identical to the mustang gt

[@smartey2612]

This username yeah and I have an FG X and I’m talking about the recent Evo design not the old one. The one with the LED daytime running lights. It might have the same shape as the old Evo but certain things have been updated to look like an FG X

[@duckingfickhead367]

The new falcon looks so good!

[@user-fp1he9mk8v]

Ultimate ford sleeper this thing is so awesome...

[@stuartwesthall]

I'm from the UK and I want one of these. Loved proper Australian fast Fords since seeing Mad Max as a kid. Truly the last of the V8s. Just as long as I can have it in matt black on gloss black. Actually, I'd also have it in standard MFP yellow, red, and blue...

[@TheWretchedWorld]

People can bag this car all they want but the fact of the matter is for the money its performance is second to none and if you want more performance it costs fuck all to get more power out of this thing compared to the Naturally Aspirated GM engines. As an all round package though the VF SSV is better with more technological features and up to the minute interior but when it comes to the drivetrain and pure performance this is leaps and bounds ahead.

[@jaybothebig]

TheWretchedWorldYuuup

[@mills3375]

Agree

[@kadeandcars3389]

heard one of these on the highway a couple of days ago music to my ears

[@middyacdc]

Damn that makes a good noise. Love the cracks and pops too.

[@pontiacGXPfan]

I wish Ford had this in the States. All we get is the tired old Mustang

[@Ellista2k]

and we australian wants the mustangs here LOL

[@pontiacGXPfan]

Trust me. You don't. The fact that the Mustang is the only RWD Ford that exists now is not a good thing. It's simply because they're too hung up on their Ecoboost gimmick and too lazy to build a decent RWD product. Plus, they spent all their money on building F-Series trucks from beer cans.

[@holdenlsssz]

El lai Speak for yourself. Im not a Ford fan by any means and are Aussie, but even i would rather take a falcon over the mustang.

[@2theCore777]

And only if usa got the XR6 turbo Falcon, a 4.0ltr turbo beast...that would have been fun for you guys too. But there not making anymore now, I love mine it's awesome mate.

[@danielson1989]

Sorry sir - Today was the last day of Ford Falcon in Australia. 7th October 2016.

[@MrTrout7]

America needs these! Too many Mustangs around here

[@smartey2612]

E Trout to bad people never wanted to buy one they stopped ads a long time ago and lost a lot of money year after year after year and then they put of all of what they know into this great car over the past years. But still if you want to drive one your always welcome to come to Australia for a week or 2 and rent an FGX

[@SugmaDick]

Well the americn ford killed them so you aren't going to get one.

[@maxmillman9477]

The front is reminiscent of Ford's recent iteration of the Mustang.

[@OliverMoore1973]

Funny thing is that Ford America said no to an intercooler on the V8 Sprints. Just get it to market it's taken you to long. An intercooled Sprint in either XR8 or XR6 form would beat a GTS. I'm a Holden boy but I've got a lot of respect for the FG Falcon. Nice car. I actually bought one last year. 2011 XT. The standard 4.0 six is a nice engine.

[@chesterbassman1]

wow fantastic we could do with Ford importing this XR8 model to the uk The best we've got is the 2.5 Mondeo.

[@dergiindir5955]

I love that Australian legend 😍

[@nodad8763]

same time as the r-spec. That's great for falcon.

[@OfficialMINIm]

I'm usually into smaller and agile japanese cars.. But I gotta say if I had 50 grand to spend on a ride I'll get me one of these bad boys over a golf GTI or. WRX anyday I know mates are gonna go wtf since I'm an asian dude and im supposed to like them Hondas but I rather have a super charged V8 and 450hp on go

[@justafrind8927]

you have some fine taste mate

[@smartey2612]

Well said buddy! 👍🏻

[@HULK-HOGAN1]

Lexus V6 sedans output a solid 390 nm torque. They’re not “supercharged” figures, but very respectable and extremely reliable.

[@nicholascoleman8679]

Too bad they don't sell these or the Ute equivalent in the U.S.. I'd definitely own one!

[@louisss666]

OMG i love this Ford Falcon

[@nezzy2121]

im kinda glad our falcon is only produced in our country i mean like imagine one of these left converted. its weird to me

[@googIesux]

dodge sells the charger in the US successfully. why ford, why no US falcon? bring it under a different name...like fairlane.

[@DigiDrone]

Because people get butthurt at the slightest mention of 4 door Mustang variant

[@gazzamate.9222]

My dad just bought this car love it he got it in white red calipers xr8 we went down a back road and got it to 200khm is seconds

[@patrickaussieMilartry]

Yeah they are fast. With it tuned they can reach 280 to a very close 300 kmph. At 250/260kmph it felt like the steering was almost gone the feel on the road. I believe this was the air rushing under the car. It probably weighs 500 kilograms lighter when travelling at 260 + put wings on her I bet she would fly?👍😂🇦🇺

[@hondacar]

Unlike the Daewoo designed VF Holden,this XR8 even sounds better than the overrated LSA.

[@Mr500RWHP]

Pity it isn't as quick as the LSA equipped holden...

[@19jacobob93]

It's quicker you idiot

[@Mr500RWHP]

Since when??? Check out the video these guys did of the GTS Maloo and see which one is quicker...idiot

[@Mr500RWHP]

***** What wrong with a big cube alloy pushrod V8?

[@19jacobob93]

Unless that make is anything Chinese, French or Korean. Then everyone has every right to put shit on that car hahaha

[@duckingfickhead367]

I'm glad falcons are still using stick! I wouldn't drive it if it had flappy paddle or tap shift

[@henchicken1]

So they finally put a proper motor in it and now they are killing it? Come on Ford its time to update this segment and start selling them world wide to compete with rear wheel drive crowd! I am amazed that they do not offer this car in the states to clobber the Dodge Chargers and Chevy SS.s ......

[@wasup9439]

we need this so much. Or at least make the Taurus some what like this.

[@henchicken1]

No doubt, I believe they need to design a modern chassis. Seems all the ones they are using now are getting pretty dated. They should design it to be primarily rear wheel drive but with awd optional and use this awesome supercharged 5.0L and call it a Thunderbird!!! Things are really changing rapidly in the auto industry so I doubt they will ever build another V-8 sedan again.... which sucks! Bet we get stuck with some lame hybrid or plug in....At least the Tesla kicks ass!

[@enzo478784]

Damn!!! Look at that Jaguar XFR rear end!!

[@justinnigel3822]

Amazing bang for your buck muscle car. Holden could learn a thing or two about muscle cars. Their aforedable v8s are slow and sad. And I like the looks. Very modern interior not good tho....

[@word1901]

+vxr8clubby bet the supercharger alone makes more power than a holden/HSV V8

[@coopsnz1]

Still a holdens a dog stock . The lsa clubby isn't that much quicker

[@iamasmurf1122]

Bullcrap this car is 1 second faster 0-100 klm/hr than the stock 225KW VY LS1 calais i have , and there are holdens that would leave this car for dead , fords have high weight to power ratios meaning they weigh too much to really take advantage of power

[@videomaker8207]

You haven’t even seen the hsv maloo gts

[@xaviercrawford650]

Since they got rid of the v8 crown Vic, this would be a nice option to have instead of just pushing for everything they sell to be a twin turbo v6.

I took a 2014 SSV Redline for a drive on Saturday, loved it. But doesn't have the V8 sound like an XR8 :( Sadly I cant afford 60k so I will either have to settle for the SSV or hold off for an XR8 in the next 12 months.

[@danielson1989]

j4zmine If you saved 2k more you would of got the xr8 - SSv is 50k and the beautiful Ford Falcon FGx XR8 is 52k

+j4zmine if you hold off for 12 months you will have to chase down a second hand xr8. i ordered mine in october 2014 and picked it up in july 2015. long waiting lists for them.

Totally agree !! ZF Auto almost a full second faster over the 1/4 mile & possibly a half sec quicker to 100 k's. Look at that delay in clutching !!

[@aidenbrister1794]

Fastest 0-100 I've ever seen!

[@calvinchoe100]

In my honest opinion, why would ford & holden put the bi mode exhaust on for when people are going to rip it out and put a louder exhaust on ? Plus the bi mode exhaust sounds tinny and doesn't have a growl to it...

[@TransitionLevel110]

Dude, all you have to do is pull the black vacuum line (that runs from the engine) off the bimodal near the exhaust tip on the passenger side. Kink it and secure with a cable tie. Bimodal deactivated :-)

[@CalaisRider]

Geese the front end looks so much like a Mustang. With forced induction of a V8 I sincerely thought it would make way more power and torque. Its seems its actually less power than my VE Commodore 416ci in N/A trim with A6 and running 4.11 diff gears? Mind you the cam on mine is "Tremaniac" Racing Engine Build with overkill custom grind that would power the space shuttle at 5,000rpm to 7,500rpm. Mine is grumpy and lumpy as shit, useless and thirsty as a city traffic daily driver which I use every day. Oh well I suppose to each their own.

For the American fans of the Falcon the Mustangs IRS is a direct copy pretty much of the Falcons dual link IRS...The Commodorre has mostly Chinese bits and is way less tough than a Falcon. Germans know of GTHO...The Holden 6.2 Chevy is heavy and inpredes the car handling especially at the front...The XR6 turbo running a Inline 6 Turbo is also a missile.
