At launch, the standard transmission was a new 5-speed auto, replacing the previous Australian designed and made 4-speed. The naturally aspirated XT engine specification is identical to the non-turbo XR6, G6, G6E and Utility vehicle variants powered by the 4.0L engine. The engine is the revised I6 Barra Engine which now produces 195 kW (261 hp) at 6000 rpm and 391 N⋅m (288 lb⋅ft) of torque. The brakes are carried over from the BF Falcon. The XT has a business class suspension tune: the rear suspension is Ford's Control Blade IRS, and the front suspension is virtual pivot link, the same architecture as found in the Territory. The XT is the base model of the FG Falcon range. The ute variants included the base Falcon Ute, R6, XR6, XR6 Turbo and XR8. The specific models included the Falcon XT, the luxury G6, G6E, G6E Turbo, and the sports XR6, XR6 Turbo and XR8. The Ford FG Falcon comprised 7 different trim levels, divided into 3 three distinct groups: The FG range achieved an ANCAP five star safety rating, being the first Australian manufactured car to do so, achieving a score of 34.6 out of 37. The Falcon will be the first rear drive application using the Ecoboost engine, however, not capable of matching 370 N⋅m (270 lb⋅ft) of torque available at as low as 1500 rpm on the 4.0L petrol version. The fuel consumption is estimated at 8 L/100 km (29 mpg ‑US 35 mpg ‑imp). The engine will have at least 179 kW (240 hp) and 353 N⋅m (260 lb⋅ft), peak torque will be available from 2,000 rpm all the way to 5,500 rpm. įord introduced the 2.0L Ecoboost engine in 2012 which will reputedly use 20 percent less fuel and emit significantly less CO 2 emissions than the current 4.0L engine. The new system was available from July 2011 and was an option on models fitted with the naturally aspirated 6-cylinder engine. In addition to the engine improvements, the new LPG system now features a 6-speed automatic as standard. In addition to the power gains, fuel use has dropped by around 15% while moreover the peak power of 198 kW (266 hp) is reached at just 5000rpm. These figures virtually match the petrol version for power and torque when running on 95 octane fuel. The new injection set up is accompanied by new light weight pistons and rings, a higher compression ratio of 12.0:1 and other modifications that improve power and economy. In 2011, Ford introduced a new LPG system to the Falcon, marketed as "EcoLPI" the system features liquid injection as opposed to the vapour set up used in the previous E-Gas system. The Turbo variant makes as much as 480 N⋅m (350 lb⋅ft) of torque at just 1500 rpm. The high-performance turbocharged version of the in-line-six produces 270 kW (362 hp) at 5250 rpm and 533 N⋅m (393 lb⋅ft) of torque from 1950 rpm this engine is available in the XR6 Turbo and G6 E Turbo. This combined with hardware updates has improved fuel consumption to 9.9 L/100 km (29 mpg ‑imp 24 mpg ‑US) for all entry level naturally aspirated petrol sedans and 10.7 L/100 km (26 mpg ‑imp 22 mpg ‑US) for the equivalent utility variants.
Flacon car series#
The ZF six-speed auto is an optional extra, the xr6 series having a 5 speed by default. From July 2010 production all I6 engines (excluding E-Gas models) meet Euro 4 emission standards. The standard FG Falcon engine is a 24-valve 4.0-Litre in-line six with VCT which produces peak power of 195 kW (261 hp) at 6000 rpm and peak torque of 391 N⋅m (288 lb⋅ft) at 3250 rpm. The FG was superseded in December 2014, by the FG X series. The FG moniker references the now discontinued Fairmont Ghia. In particular, the long-standing Futura, Fairmont, and Fairmont Ghia models were replaced by the more contemporary G6 and G6 E models, respectively. To make a fresh start, Ford Australia decided to revolutionize the designation of all models within the range. The FG series Falcon was first previewed at a press event on 17 February 2008 and sold until October 2014. Its range no longer featured the Fairmont luxury badge, replaced instead by the G Series. It was the first iteration of the seventh and last generation of the Falcon.

The Ford Falcon (FG) is a full-sized car that was produced by Ford Australia from 2008 to 2014.
