Tickford Vehicle Engineering Falcon GT 25th Anniversary 1992

[GranTurismo916]

Ford with the help of Tickford commemorated the 25th Anniversary of the first XR GT in 1992, with a limited run 265 EB GT's, the First time the GT badge had been used on a production Falcon since the XB GT in 1976. 265 were built, released just one month after the release of the S-XR6 and S-XR8 models.

The body was adorned by a complete styling kit designed by Paul Gibson, who worked on the Ford Escort RS Cosworth. The kit was tested in a wind tunnel in England, to insure that the additions improved aerodynamic performance, as well as looks. The result looked very much like the Lotus Carlton.

The GT received the Mustang Cobra version of the 5.0L Windsor, with Tickford adapting it for local conditions. The 200 kW was the result of changes to the camshaft, intake and cylinder head improvements. The rest of the drive train consisted of regular XR components, with the only changes being slightly different gear ratios, and recalibrated shift points in the auto.

Specs:
Engine: 5.0L V8
Power: 268 hp
Transmission: 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic
