The only reason the ED Falcon was released in August 1993 was to battle the best selling Commodore. The EF facelift was still a year off and Ford didn’t want to lose ground to Holden’s new VR. Visual changes were a new grille, and the XR models gained new quad round headlights.
XR models also had red inserts in the bumper and the body mouldings, and a new XR model was released - the XR8 Sprint. The Sprint didn’t stand out from the crowd, instead relying on it’s performance. The Sprint’s engine was almost identical to the EB GT’s V8 and had 195kW and 405Nm. There were different wheels and black inserts (instead of red), and only 300 Sprints were built.The Futura name made a comeback with the ED and was aimed at private buyers to compete with Holden’s Commodore Acclaim. It came with ABS brakes, cruise control, full instrumentation and an 8 speaker sound system. On the outside, the Futura had different wheel trims and body-coloured mirrors.The Fairmont Ghia wagon was dropped.
