Ford Australia Falcon FG GT-F 351
The Ford Falcon FG X GT-F 351, released in 2014, was Ford Performance Vehicles' (FPV) final act and the most powerful Ford Falcon ever produced. Limited to 550 units (500 sedans and 50 utes), the GT-F 351 was a celebration of 50 years of Falcon GT heritage, and it packed enough performance to justify its tribute status.
The GT-F 351's engine was a 5.0-liter DOHC V8 fitted with an Eaton TVS1900 supercharger producing 462 horsepower and a thunderous 457 lb-ft of torque. The '351' in the name was a tribute to the legendary 351 Cleveland V8 that had powered the most famous Falcon GTs. While the modern engine was a completely different design, the nod to history was deeply appreciated by enthusiasts.
The powertrain used Ford Australia's own 'Miami' 5.0-liter V8, a bespoke engine designed specifically for the Falcon that shared nothing with any American Ford engine. Supercharged by an Eaton blower, it produced more power than any standard Ford Falcon before or since. A six-speed ZF manual or six-speed ZF automatic transmitted power to the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential.
FPV's chassis engineers developed a comprehensive package for the GT-F 351. Brembo four-piston front brakes, unique spring and damper rates, and specially developed Dunlop tires gave the car handling that was remarkably composed given the power output. An electronic stability program with a true off mode allowed experienced drivers to fully exploit the rear-wheel-drive chassis.
The GT-F 351 received unique styling elements including a heritage-inspired bonnet scoop, side stripes reminiscent of the original Falcon GT, and specific GT-F badges. The color palette was deliberately limited to evoke the classic GT era. Inside, premium leather, Alcantara, and a numbered build plaque reinforced the car's special status.
As the last performance Falcon ever produced, the GT-F 351 marked the end of an era that began with the XR GT in 1967. Ford's decision to cease Australian manufacturing in 2016 meant there would be no successor, giving the GT-F 351 the melancholy distinction of being the final chapter in one of the greatest performance car stories ever told.
All 550 units sold immediately, many to collectors who recognized the car's historical significance. Values have climbed steadily since production ended, and the GT-F 351 is now firmly established as one of the most collectible modern Australian cars, a fitting tribute to half a century of Falcon GT excellence.
All 550 units are documented within the Falcon GT community. Verify build number and FPV documentation. The supercharged Miami V8 is unique to Ford Australia; parts are becoming scarce. Check supercharger belt and coolant system condition. Manual transmission examples are more valuable. Low-mileage, unmodified examples command the highest prices. Some were modified immediately after purchase; factory-original cars are preferred by collectors.
Limited to 550 units: 500 sedans and 50 utes. The 5.0L Miami V8 was unique to Ford Australia and not shared with any Ford USA engine. FPV (Ford Performance Vehicles) handled the conversion and tuning. Each car received a numbered build plaque. The GT-F 351 was the last FPV model before the brand was dissolved in 2014.
