Ford Australia FG X Falcon XR6 (2014 - 2016)
This FG X generation Ford Falcon is the last in an unbroken 56-year line to be manufactured in Ford's Australian operations.
The very last Falcon is due to roll down the Broadmeadows Assembly plant in early October 2016, the very 'end of the line'.
With it will go the iconic inline six-cylinder engine, known for its silky smooth, rich torque, which is manufactured in Geelong.
The final version of the engine, at 4-litres and 195 kw in standard form, and a highly impressive 325 kW in turbocharged form, was one of the first projects I worked on when I joined Ford's Product Development team in 2008.
The image included in this series with figurines shows a version of my little family while I was working on this final version in 2011. We have another little person now, and the other small people are much bigger.
