Some Breaking News: THE iconic Ford Falcon GTHO muscle car has been brought back from the dead ! Former Ford Performance Vehicles insiders have revived a top-secret project to create a version of what should have been the final fast Falcon. The last Falcon GT was intended to have an even more powerful supercharged 5.0-litre V8 than the one that finally made it to showrooms. The target was a mind-boggling 484kW and 750Nm of grunt, a significant step up from the final GT’s 351kW and 570Nm. Ford’s performance-car division even built 10 test vehicles to show executives what the Falcon was truly capable of. However, the program was axed because Ford ran out of development time before the Broadmeadows factory closure. Now, almost two years after the final Falcon was built, the engineers responsible for the car that was to be dubbed GTHO have brought their dream to life. “This is the car we always wanted to build,” says Bernie Quinn, a former Ford performance-car engineer for 19 years. “The plan was to finish with a modern GTHO but in the end we ran out of time.” .
