C&D Review the Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo

Well, it took a while, but C&D have finally reviewed the Australian-built Falcon XR6 Turbo. I thought you guys might be interested in it.



Come October, these things will have 6-speed manual transmissions and revised gear clusters, with shorter final drive ratios, too. Should make it slightly quicker, while retaining (or improving) fuel economy. The 5-speeder is a bit of a pig.

Fun car to drive, though. Aftermarket tuners are already putting out 700bhp versions. I've personally driven a modified-520bhp model and it's staggering just how fast it is.
