2015 Ford Falcon XR8: Price And Features

The Ford Falcon XR8 is back, and now the headline act for the 2015 Falcon range has a price tag.

It was no accident that the XR8 was the first variant officially revealed in the new FG X range, joining the XR6 to herald the arrival of its next - and last - Falcon sedan and ute line.

Now we can reveal that Ford fans eager to get into the reborn XR8 will hand over at least $52,490, plus on-road costs.

That amount, which gets you the six-speed manual, sees the XR8 going eyeball-to-eyeball with the Holden Commodore SS V Redline manual and its identical starting price.

The six-speed auto adds $2200 at $54,690 plus on-roads - again matching the equivalent SS V Redline auto dollar-for-dollar.
