Falcon options that where tested but never made it to production

[Eaturbo]

I would love to know what things where tested for the Falcon range but never made it to production. It would be great if after production ended if Ford Australia would detail some of the things that nearly made it but only got left out at the last moment. Maybe some more details about what an FG Fairlane could have looked like. What different engine and gearbox combinations where considered and even tested on the road. What sort of maximum power they had seen from some engines. This is going to be part of history and something that will never be repeated. We found out a lot of information about the old XT to XF Falcons from some of the old ex employees but that's only because the Falcon is still in production and still talked about. I don't think there will be the same amount of talk about the recent cars in say 20 years time.

If your a current Ford engineer or know one, than please feel free to tell us about what your saw or what was talked about in the later Falcons from say EA to FGX. There has got to be some amazing stories about what nearly was and what could have been. I would actually love to contact Ford and see if there was some sort of information that details the history of the Falcon of what was tested and what could have been if only the timing was right. Even things that were tested but knocked back and for what reasons. Maybe Russell W could get in contact with a Ford and see if they could put together a list of stuff that was tested, considered and even investigated as a possible option or feature on Falcons. This sort of information could be lost forever if not recovered and documented before the Factory closes along with all that history of what could have been. Let's see what we can come up with.
