Inside The Falcon Sprint: How Ford’s Engineers Crafted Falcon’s Swansong

There’s an odd feeling at the presentation of Ford’s Falcon Sprint range - a room full of upbeat engineers and designers, extolling the virtues of their latest creation, all just a little bit downbeat that they won’t get to do a project like this ever again.

Sure, Ford Australia’s engineering, and research and development teams will continue to work here.

In fact, after 2017 Ford stands to be Australia’s largest automotive employer, but they’ll work on global products, like the Ranger ute, or Indian-market Figo.

However, the Falcon - a car originally designed for the American market, adapted and built in Australia since 1960, and uniquely Australian since 1972 - the Falcon is special. Living proof of the capabilities of Ford’s Australian arm.
