Ford Falcon XR6

The Ford Falcon XR6 was a six cylinder sports sedan based on the Ford Falcon and produced by Ford Australia from 1992 to 2016. It began as the Falcon S XR6 in October 1992, with suspension and engine tuned by Tickford Vehicle Engineering and a 4.0 litre Ford straight-six making 161 kilowatts, 13 more than the base engine. The name lost its S prefix in 1993, when a wagon and later a utility were added to the range. A turbocharged model, the XR6 Turbo, arrived in 2002 with the Barra 240T engine producing 240 kilowatts, and later generations raised output with the Barra 190, 195 and 270T engines. The article follows the car through three generations to 2016, the last year of its production.
