The latest news from Oz comes courtesy of <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/prodrive">Prodrive</a>, which has a close relationship with <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/fpv">Ford Performance Vehicles</a>. Starting with a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/coyote+v8">Coyote V8</a> engine block, Prodrive has created a supercharged V8 that's lighter and more powerful than the naturally-aspirated unit it started with.<br />
<br />
Known as the "Miami" engine, the supercharged V8 generates 449 horsepower at 5,750 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque from 2,200 rpm up to 5,500 rpm. By altering the boost levels, Prodrive offers a less powerful version that produces 422 horsepower.<br />
<br />
Both versions are planned for use in various trim levels of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ford+falcon">Ford Falcon</a> four-door. The 315kw (422 hp) unit will be available in the Falcon GS while the 335 kW (449 hp) engine is offered with the Falcon GT, GT-E and GT-P. The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/26/ford-shows-aussies-whos-boss-with-special-fpv-falcon/">Falcons will wear the Boss name on the fenders</a> and both versions provide yet another reason to book a flight on Qantas. <br />
