"The XR8 represents the top of the Ford Falcon line. Under the hood is the grunty power of the Boss supercharged 5.0-liter V8. No matter where you are in the power band, the XR8 is ready to pull away with a gesture from your right foot. Outside, the smooth lines of this four-door sedan are reminiscent of the V8 Supercars that are built from its mold. Sure, this is a production vehicle meant for the city streets and country highways, but you will find performance ready to thrill you at every corner."—Official description[1]

Trivia[]
- As is the case with other Ford Falcon cars, the XR8 originates from the United States in the Forza games even though it is actually of Australian origin.
- Since Forza Horizon 3, a low detail model of this car is used for replacing all cars that won't load correctly. This is referred to in-game as Null Car.
- This car incorrectly shares the 'G-Force' dash derived from the Ford Falcon GT F 351. The real-life vehicle uses Ford's SYNC 2 infotainment system.
