timetaker Donating Members 217 Member For: 14y 1m 28d Gender: Male Posted 06/08/13 02:00 PM Share Posted 06/08/13 02:00 PM I'm still confused what Ford wants to actually do.It mentions the 270kw/565nm motor in a xr6 f6 Falcon???Below is an interesting extract from the article:"Ford engineers have developed far more potent versions of FPV’s ‘Miami’ V8, but Ford Australia will not spend the money to introduce them given the limited return on investment before October 2016, when strict new Euro 5 emissions standards come into effect."http://www.carsales.com.au/news/2013/large-passenger/ford/falcon/ford-to-reveal-final-falcon-next-week-38047 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We understand the top-shelf FPV GT’s 335kW/575Nm supercharged 5.0-litre V8 will continue unchanged in Ford’s 2014 ‘Falcon GT’, while fitting the entry-level FPV GS sedan’s lower-output 315kW/545Nm version into the born-again 2014 Falcon XR6 is a similar no-brainer." XR6? Dafuq I just read? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
