"Nowhere else on Earth will you find an appreciation for four-door performance sedans like that found in Australia, and nowhere else will you find the kind of performance that is imbued in the Ford Falcon XA GT-HO. There was only one production model ever completely built. When news of these and other 160 mph “super cars” hit the media, the uproar over public safety was simply too much, and the government stepped in and stopped production. The car would never see homologation or its destiny of dominating Bathurst. You can drive it here in Forza though, and that should be more than enough to validate the following it created."—Official description[1]
The 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT-HO - abbreviated as "Ford Falcon '72" - is an Australian made rear-wheel-drive muscle car by Ford.
It appears in Forza Horizon 3 as part of the Rockstar Energy Car Pack and in all subsequent Forza main titles, with its appearance in Forza Motorsport (2023) being as part of Update 15.
Synopsis[]
The XA Falcon is the successor to the 1971 Falcon XY GTHO Phase III. Due to the Australian Supercar scare of 1972, only four XA GT-HOs were produced.
Variants[]
Forza Edition[]
The Forza Edition is a special variant in Forza Horizon 4 featuring a Speed Skills boost and an S1 886 upgrade preset.
It is primarily unlockable as a Wheelspin prize, but has also been made available as a seasonal reward.
