Ford Falcon R6?

June 7, 2007 by Alborz Fallah  




Our friends at FordForums have found yet another Ford secret. The blue oval recently registered “Falcon R6″ as a trademark (TM 1179745). Will this be a new model in the Ford range? There is no word from Ford, it might simply be another attempt to protect intellectual property.

In 2003 Ford Australia registered “Territory R5″ (TM 982764) and “Territory R3″ (TM 982766), and so far they have not seen use.

Although there is a possibility that Ford may use the R6 instead of the XR6 to give XR6-Turbo owners a more exclusive feel. Or maybe the R stands for recreational? Only time will tell.

(thanks to Lisa for the tip).

    r6 will be the name for a concept car that will appear at a motor show some time in the future. remember the r7? that was just a territory with different head and tailights.

    R6 will be the name for a special edition commemorative cobra falcon to be released in conjunction with bathurst to mark the 30yr anniversary of the famous 1-2 win (more than likely)

    TP(Tosser Puller): Andrew M does not talk out his “a*se” like you do 99.99% of the time. I just made a little unthoughtful joke, then you come along with your pathetic attitude and ruin it.
