Ford Falcon / FG X

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Ford Falcon / FG X is a large sedan in production from 2014 to 2016 for the Australian market (legacy of Holden). It was available with a range of inline-4, inline-6, and V8 engines that displaced 2.0 to 5.0 liters.

Unlike other Ford sedans of this period, the FG X Falcon had some very interesting powertrain options. Topping the list is the 5.0-liter supercharged Coyote V8, which thankfully was also available with a 6-speed manual. In RWD layout, this is exactly what enthusiasts want and need.

Just below that, Ford offered variants of the I6 Barra engine with 4.0 liters of naturally-aspirated or turbocharged power.

Ford has also made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.29 coefficient of drag to show for it.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the FG X Falcon comes with double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspensions, giving it great handling characteristics.
