This is the final version of Ford’s Falcon sedan designed and built in Australia. The latest Falcon was revealed today in its XR6 and XR8 performance trim and will be hitting the Aussie and New Zealand markets at the end of the year. The regular model will be revealed at a later date. Sadly, Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] has confirmed it is ceasing vehicle production in Australia in late 2016, meaning the car will only have a two-year production run.

It might not be that tall of a hill to climb, of course, considering that the engine will produce 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque. CHECK OUT: Lamborghini Veneno...
