The rumour is that after 2016 there will be global platform that will take all wheel drive this will see Falcon & Territory sharing the same platform as a EURO model & a US model likley to be Mondeo in Europe. By the way Ecoboost Falcon is now available to order as a 'no cost option' in stead of the IL6 and this seems to be the way ford are going with engines across a lot of different markets.
Not that it matters much as the V8 Supercars are very different from the production cars and the way its going it is more of a sillouette style with body panels stuck on to a space frame and they could make a supercar look like any model thats in production but it will be very different underneath, suspension , sequential box, different engine etc etc.
