Default info requst on fords XF AWD project.

sorry if this has been talked about before but over at http://www.geocities.com/falconfacts.../xffalcon.html
under models, they have listed a Falcon AWD with this info:

(Prototype) 268kW twin-turbo, all-wheel-drive Falcon. Project failed when the XF range was superceded by the EA. 1987.

Anybody got any info and possibly some sort of specs on this car. And even if they got it working. Just out of curiosity really, it sounds really cool.

It's brilliant. Can you imagine the Falcons we'd be driving today if the TT AWD XF was a success!

It really is a shame this car never went into production.. Life today would be different. Aus would be recognised a turbo AWD country . I would love to see the F6 in AWD these days.. :
