How much horsepower does a turbo Falcon have?
Turbo Falcons, especially the XR6 Turbo, generally deliver around 360 horsepower (270 kW). The exact figure depends on the model and generation, with early versions closer to 328 horsepower and later ones commonly rated around 362 horsepower.
The question spans Ford Australia's turbocharged inline-six Falcons across generations such as BA, BF, FG, and FG X. Horsepower figures come from official specs and automotive references and can vary slightly by market, transmission type, and measurement method (crank horsepower vs. wheel horsepower).
Model-by-model horsepower (XR6 Turbo variants)
The following figures reflect typical, well-documented outputs for common XR6 Turbo variants in Australian-market specs. They are crankshaft horsepower (not wheel horsepower) and may differ with dyno results or condition.
- BA XR6 Turbo (roughly 2002–2005): about 245 kW (328 hp)
- BF XR6 Turbo (roughly 2005–2008): about 270 kW (362 hp)
- FG XR6 Turbo (roughly 2010–2014): about 270 kW (362 hp)
- FG X XR6 Turbo (roughly 2014–2016): about 270 kW (362 hp)
In short, the turbo Falcon's horsepower varies by generation, with later BA BF FG-era cars commonly rated at around 270 kW (about 362 hp) and the earlier BA models closer to 245 kW (roughly 328 hp).
Other notes about measurement and variants
Horsepower figures are typically quoted in kilowatts (kW) and horsepower (hp). Tire size, exhaust setup, intercooler efficiency, and transmission can influence wheel horsepower and acceleration, while crank horsepower is what manufacturers quote.
- Some regional variants might have different tune settings or optional packages that affect the exact output.
For prospective buyers or enthusiasts, check the specific vehicle’s build sheet or Ford’s original brochure for the exact rating, and consider dyno testing if you want to compare power on your own car.
Summary
The turbo Falcon most commonly makes around 270 kW (about 362 hp) in the XR6 Turbo specs, with older models in the mid-2000s around 245 kW (roughly 328 hp). Variations exist across generations and trims, so always verify the exact figure for a given car.
