IT'S not often one runs out of superlatives with which to describe a car. But then, the Blue Oval's 250kW TS50 is not just any old conveyance. The latest generation of HSV-rivalling sports sedans from Ford's performance partner Tickford - dubbed T3 and packing a stroked, 5.6-litre Windsor V8 - is the quickest and most powerful production Falcon ever produced in Australia. A return to the big-inch Ford V8, the TS50 is also a prime example of competition improving the breed: the car Henry had to build. Ford may be late to the ultra-high performance party, but the new T-Series flagship finally has the urge to match its class-leading agility. Sure to become a collector's item, the limited edition TS50 is also a fitting finale to three-and-a-half decades of Windsor V8s.
