In time for the 25th anniversary of the original XR GT, 1992 saw the return of the Falcon GT in the form of the EB.
The new partnership between Ford and Tickford Vehicle engineering took on the challenge of re-introducing the GT for the '90's. With a 200 kW, 5.0 litre V8 engine, modern technology and development processes, the result was a stunning success.
