Gale-force Falcon
By The Drive Team
The Age
Ford's recently relaunched performance division, FPV, will use the Melbourne motor show to unveil what is arguably its worst-kept secret -- a beefed-up version of the Falcon XR6 Turbo to be known as the F6 (for force six) Typhoon.
The high-output version of the Falcon's in-line six-cylinder turbo engine in the F6 Typhoon is expected to put out about 280kW of power, just 10kW less than the flagship Falcon GT.
Engineers are understood to have been blessed with the problem of having too much power, forcing a slight detuning to ensure the V8-powered GT remains king of the HSV-fighting line-up.
