Ford Falcon - Limited Edition XR8

Race in for Limited Edition Falcon XR8

Ford fans have been offered a unique opportunity to celebrate the Blue Oval dominance of V8 Supercar racing with a choice of two limited edition XR8 MkII Falcons..

The Falcon MkII Devil R XR8 has been created to celebrate the back-to-back wins by Marcos Ambrose in the V8 Supercar Championship in 2003 and 2004.

The Falcon MkII XR8 Enforcer is named after Ambrose's team-mate, Russell Ingall, to celebrate the 1-2 finish by Stone Brothers Racing in the 2004 championship.

Ambrose and Ingall unveiled the cars at today's Melbourne International Motor Show. The limited edition XR8s have been produced to celebrate the success of Ford on the racetrack and the ongoing success of the awesome Falcon XR in the showroom. Each car will feature unique 18-inch shadow chrome alloy wheels, premium brakes, a leather-wrapped sports steering wheel, unique sports leather seats and carpet mats embroidered with either the Devil R or Enforcer motifs, and decals on the bonnet bulge and front doors. The XR8 Devil R will only be available in Shockwave blue and the XR8 Enforcer only in Envi green. Each driver has personally signed the owner's manual and each car will feature the driver's signature mounted on a plate in the engine bay. In addition, each owner will receive a limited edition racing picture signed by Ambrose or Ingall.

In total, all the added extras represent more than $5000 value. Ford motorsport fans keen to capture a unique slice of motoring history can race into their local dealer where they can purchase either model for a recommended price of just $54,265*. .

Just 125 versions of each car will be produced, making these limited edition models very special vehicles.
