The Ford Falcon EF and EL, produced between 1994 and 1998, marked a significant evolution in the iconic Australian sedan. The EF, launched in 1994, introduced a sleeker, more aerodynamic design than its predecessor, the ED. It featured a new chassis, suspension, and interior, along with a range of engine options, including the powerful 4.0-liter inline-six in the XR6 and the V8-powered XR8. The EL, launched in 1996, refined the EF's design with minor cosmetic updates, revised suspension tuning, and improved interior materials. Both models were known for their sporty handling, comfortable ride, and strong performance, particularly the XR6 and XR8 variants.

The XR6 and XR8 were the performance flagships of the EF and EL Falcon range. The XR6 was powered by the potent 4.0-liter inline-six engine, producing over 150 horsepower and notable torque. The XR8, on the other hand, packed a powerful 5.0-liter V8, offering a thrilling driving experience with its strong acceleration and muscular sound. Both models sported distinctive styling cues, including unique bumpers, side skirts, and alloy wheels, setting them apart from the standard Falcon models. Beyond performance, the XR6 and XR8 included features like sports seats, a sports-tuned suspension, and more comprehensive instrumentation, contributing to a more driver-focused experience. These models solidified the Falcon's reputation as a sporty and capable Australian icon, catering to those looking for performance and distinction on the road.
