The Australia V8 Supercar series are getting an FG Falcon of their very own. The FG01 V8 Supercar is going to be unveiled during the weekend race in Melbourne, Australia. When it arrives it will run some demo laps.
According to Ford, the race car was designed to maximize driver safety while minimizing teams’ operating, maintenance, and repair costs. Best of all, unlike the “stock” cars run in our various NASCAR series, Australia’s V8 supercars actually bear more than a passing resemblance to their production counterparts — four doors and all.
There’s no mistaking the fact that this car is derived from the Falcon XR8. Plus, it has a Giant Wing that makes the apparatus hung off of some Pikes Peak hillclimb cars look like the ducktail on a ‘73 Carrera RS. The FG01 will battle it out with its Holden counterparts next season.
