Introduced in 1982, the ESP (European Sports Pack) built upon the foundation laid by the earlier XD, further enhancing the Falcon’s balance between comfort and performance. Based on the Fairmont Ghia, it featured improved coil spring rear suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and new \"Snowflake\" rims that set the styling apart from it's predecessor as well as a host of new options like the Philips Premium Sound System. The result was a capable and composed performance sedan with modern styling and V8 power. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe broader legacy of the Ford Falcon remains one of the most significant in Australian automotive history. Since its introduction in 1960, the Falcon evolved into a truly local icon, engineered to suit Australian conditions and embraced by generations of drivers. From family transport to touring car success, it built a reputation for strength, reliability and performance. By ealry eighties the writing was on the wall for V8 powered cars, and the XE would be the \"last of the V8's\" - until their return with the EB Falcon. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet to be replicated in classic Silver Grey over Charcoal, this 1:18 scale model is scheduled to be produced in high detail die-cast with opening parts, including the bonnet, all four doors and boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA highly detailed interior with accurately replicated trimmings can be seen through the molded clear glasshouse, or by opening the doors to examine the interior further.
