"There's little doubt that everyone will know the new XR8 when they see it," said Ford Australia President Geoff Polites.
"The power bulge in the bonnet is a real give-away.
"And it's not just for looks. Underneath the bonnet lies a unique V8 engine that will deliver a new level of response and refinement for the Australian performance car market."
The Falcon XR8 will be powered by a 5.4-litre V8 boasting quad camshafts, four valves per cylinder, high flow cylinder heads and stainless steel extractors.
"What that all means is 260kW of power and 500Nm of torque, and a new chapter in Ford's rich performance history."
Mr Polites said the BA Falcon XR8 would be released in early 2003.
