Some cars are built to impress on a spec sheet. This one is built to be driven. The Falcon XR8 was Fords final word in the big rear-drive V8 sedan, and this example has been pushed well beyond the factory brief. Its a car that gets noticed in a carpark and remembered on the road.

Under the bonnet is a supercharged 5.0-litre V8 making 435kW and 583bhp. The power builds quickly and keeps coming, and the soundtrack is exactly what youd hope for. The six-speed automatic keeps it relaxed in traffic, then holds gears and delivers hard when you want to make the most of it. Power goes to the rear wheels, as a performance sedan should.

Despite the numbers, its a car you can live with. There are five proper seats, four doors and a generous boot, so it handles the school run, the airport trip and the weekend blast on a good road equally well. A genuine Ford towbar is fitted for trailers, boats or the occasional race car, which is something you dont often find on a V8 sedan.

It sits on 5k510 tyres, and paint protection film (PPF) has been applied to help keep the body looking as sharp as it should. With only 47,500km on the clock, this is a young example of a car thats only getting harder to find.

If you want a V8 sedan with real presence, serious power and everyday usability, this is the one to see.
