Australia's most iconic muscle car has risen from the ashes, two years after production of the locally-built Falcon officially ended.
The legendary Falcon GT-HO has been revived - in spirit at least - with an aftermarket kit that was originally developed for the swansong high-performance Falcon.
Dubbed "The Holy Grail" and created by the engineering team behind all FPV models, Premcar - the Australian independent vehicle development operation that was born from the demise of Prodrive Australia - the kit includes performance and handling upgrades for owners of any FG-X Falcon with a supercharged 5.0-litre V8, such as the Falcon Sprint and FPV GT variants.
Limited to just 100 units, each costing $24,885, the kit consists of an all-new intake manifold equipped with a triple by-pass intercooler, as well as recalibrated engine management system that lifts its rev limiter to 7000rpm.
The net result is a significant increase in outputs, elevating its maximum power to 478kW while peak torque is increased to 753Nm, which puts it on par with the HSV GTSR W1 (officially Australia's most powerful production car) with 474kW and 813Nm.

Beyond the engine upgrade, the Holy Grail Falcon can be ordered with suspension upgrades including a new Trail Blade that allows the fitment of lightweight forged alloy 19-inch wheels (measuring 8.5-inches wide at teh front and 10.5-inches wide at the back) with sticky Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tyres. Premcar has also created an adjustable coil-over set-up for the Holy Grail kit, as well as a specific three-inch stainless steel exhaust system, with assistance from touring car legend John Bowe in the development process.
Bernie Quinn, Director and Chief Engineer of Premcar, told Drive "this is the car we always wanted to create to send-off the Ford Falcon, and we're really excited that we can offer it to a limited group of owners now."
