The Ford Falcon GT-F marks the beginning of the end for the Australian manufacturing industry. It is the first model to be dropped from the line-up before Ford closes its car assembly line in Broadmeadows and Geelong engine factory in October 2016.
Fittingly, the GT-F (the “F” stands for “final edition”) will leave the Ford Falcon range on a high note. Ford has thrown every piece of available technology into its performance-car icon. The only tragedy is that all these changes didn’t happen years ago. Perhaps then we wouldn’t be writing an obituary for such an iconic car in 2014.
