Ford's all-new FG Falcon has become the first Australian-built car to receive a five-star safety rating from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP).



We are proud to announce that the petrol Ford FG Falcon sedan range was awarded the maximum five-star safety rating with a total score of 34.6 points (out of a possible 37 points), giving it the highest score ever recorded by a locally-produced car in Australia by a significant margin.

The FG Falcon's five-star score places it in the top seven per cent of all published ANCAP results, as well as in the top 24 per cent of published ANCAP five-star results.

This positions the new Ford FG Falcon at the forefront of vehicle safety in Australia, with the recently released all-new model generating a higher point score than many significantly higher-priced, premium European vehicles with established reputations for world-class safety.

For us at Peter Warren Ford Warwick Farm, this is a great result as it showcases the great engineering that we can proudly boast about being part of!

The FG Falcon is now safer than that of the BMW 5-Series and as safe as any Volvo. Considering the value equation, the new FG Falcon is a very enticing vehicle for any prospective buyer. The knowedge that you could be driving the family, yourself to work or to that blast through the twisties in your XR, you will be doing it in style and safety.

More than 38 different vehicle crash modes were investigated by Ford during the course of the vehicle's development, with 426 full vehicle-representative physical crash tests and more than 5,000 start-of-the-art simulated crash tests completed.

The petrol FG Falcon sedan scored maximum points in two of the three physical crash tests performed by ANCAP, setting a new standard in vehicle safety for a locally-manufactured family car, with its world-class body structure and comprehensive suite of active and passive safety features.

Ford's new FG Falcon continues to set new standards for the Australian auto industry, following an announcement today by MOTOR Magazine declaring the FG Falcon XR6 Turbo Ute as the outright winner in its annual 'Bang For Your Bucks' award.

The FG Falcon XR6 Turbo Ute's victory is the first time a ute has won Bang For Your Bucks in the award's 15-year history, beating 16 of the best performance cars available in Australia this year for under $80,000, including the best on offer from Europe and Japan.

MOTOR Magazine applauded the engine in Falcon XR6 Turbo Ute, saying "…its stonking 270kW 4.0-litre turbocharged six is a gem of an engine – and the reason why it wins 2008's Bang For Your Bucks."

The Falcon XR6 Turbo Ute also won its class, the $38-50K category, beating last year's outright competition winner in the process as well as finishing ahead of its stablemate, the Falcon XR6 Turbo sedan, which finished third in class and fifth outright.

"As the first Ford model to win this award, today's announcement stands as further testament to the outstanding performance and value-for-money offered by the all-new FG Falcon, in this particular case the FG Falcon XR6 Turbo Ute," Ford Australia President Bill Osborne said.

Adding to the performance credentials of Ford's XR brand, the Fiesta XR4 once again finished third outright and first in class – this year in the Sub-$38K category after taking out the Sub-$30K category in 2007 – building on its impressive debut result to reinforce its classic hot-hatch appeal.
The judges commended the XR4 saying it "lives up to its legendary reputation" and is "still one of the best front-drivers out there", as well as crediting its back-to-back win by saying "victory against a tougher field in 2008 dwarfs last year's win".

The Fiesta XR4 was also the only 2007 category winner to defend its crown in 2008, holding out newer, more fancied rivals to deliver "great thrills for minimal bills".

Mr Watson’s name went into the draw, when he bought the Kia on the promotional weekend of May 30 and June 1. He had a one-in-87 chance of winning the new Fiesta.

The new car was drawn at 2pm Sunday 13 of July and the winner needed to be present. Shortly after the draw, a $3000 cheque was also handed over to the Newborn Intensive Care Unit at Liverpool Hospital, money raised as a percentage of profits made on the 50th
anniversary weekend. The cheque was accepted by Liverpool Hospital’s director of neonatology, Dr Robert Guaran.
