The most important new element of FG Falcon's chassis is the new front suspension.
Gone are the conventional MacPherson struts, replaced with 'virtual pivot control link' front suspension.

As well as being all aluminium for the first time (shedding 22kg compared to the previous setup), the front suspension is purported to give the Falcon even sharper handling while improving the ride quality
Ecoboost-4 will be getting it's first RWD application in the Falcon next year . .
