AN early rethink on the relativity between Tickford's FTE Falcon series and Holden's HSVs has given us a slightly revised range of upmarket hot Falcons.

Strutting their stuff with more assuredness, particularly at the lower TE50 end of the range, the Tickfords recognise that subtlety is not necessarily what people want in a sports sedan. And the adoption of the high-performance 220kW engine across the FTE range provides better separation from the working-class XR6 and XR8 Falcons.
