Great to get another XR8 Sprint on the register - one of the car's that's seen the fastest growth in prices - rarer than the GT, it has the same mechanical specs but is a bit lighter - making it the fastest Falcon at the time with the 200kw trusty 5.0 motor. This example was offered through Lloyds auctions in March 2020 - see the original listing here.
The seller at the time provided the following vehicle description: After the 200kW 25th Anniversary EB GT of 1993, Ford decided to use the same 5.0l GT40 roller Windsor engine (albeit detuned to 195kW) for a limited run of XR8’s known as the Sprint to tackle the new HSV Clubsport. Only 356 (200 Au/156 NZ) were built with only 184 with the 5 speed manual transmission the rest were auto. The Sprint was designed by Ford Lot 6 skunkworks supremo Howard Marsden as the ultimate sleeper/tourer that was actually 70kg lighter than the GT, at 1579kg. This example is finished in Polynesian Green over the signature Sprint Leather and Cloth combo trim.
