Ride and Handling
The Falcon XR6 Sprint was sharper, faster and more in control. It had a re-engineered engine, complete with a larger turbocharger, intercooler and injectors, which is just the start. It also had lightweight carbon fibre air intake under the bonnet, a first for Falcon and the gold standard in performance. The result was a Falcon XR6 Sprint loaded with a hefty 325kW of power and 576Nm of torque. To ensure total performance, the Falcon XR6 Sprint received a tailor-made launch control system and a firmer sports suspension with revised spring rates and increased rebound damping for the ultimate in body control.
Simply Breathtaking
With unique silhouette black accents, striking heritage decals, and gold finished 6 piston front and 4 piston rear Brembo brakes that sit behind gloss black wheels, this car was built to stand out. The Sprint embroidered suede and leather accented seats wrap around your body to give you a breathtaking drive experience.

This was the ultimate expression of the legendary Falcon. A limited release of only 750 Falcon XR8 Sprint models, each individually numbered with an exclusive plaque on the engine.

Ride and Handling
This was the most powerful Falcon XR8 ever. It produced a phenomenal 345kW of power with 575Nm of torque with transient overboost for up to 55kW and 75Nm more power and torque. After extensive testing, Ford engineers chose the ultra-high performance Pirelli P-Zero tyres – ideal for the high-powered V8 engine, and a first for Falcon. What’s more, the Falcon XR Sprint line was fitted with a firmer sports suspension with revised spring rates and increased rebound damping for the ultimate in body control.
Down to the last spec
Not a single detail was missed when considering the Falcon XR8 Sprint. It featured a silhouette black painted roof, lip spoiler, wing mirrors, and Falcon XR8 Sprint specific decals, giving a nod to its exclusivity. 19-inch gloss black wheels sat in front of unique 6-piston front and 4-piston rear gold painted Brembo brakes finishing off the bold exterior design. The interior embroidered suede and leather accented and trims, alongside custom-made branded gear knob and badges matched the exterior’s distinctive design.
