Description
| “ | It elevates Grand Touring to a level never before achieved. It bears an impeccable pedigree and introduces exciting state-of-the-art technology. It's the 30th anniversary Falcon GT, and it comes straight from the heart of the team of engineers and designers at Ford and Tickford. This special limited-build vehicle recreates the magic of the Falcon GT legend. It does it with style, sophistication, and refinement, and in the tradition of all Falcon GTs, this model delivers 200 kilowatts of free-flowing V8 power. The letters “HO” are the most hallowed in the Australian automotive alphabet. In Falcon GT lore, they stood for Handling Option. On today's GT, there's nothing optional about fine handling - today HO stands for High Output, as in the Ford US GT HO 5.0 litre V8. |
