In the year 1920 a young man was born in The Hague, The Netherlands. By the name of Falco Ferdinand Oostland.
Falco started work for Ferdinand Porsche in 1940. In 1944 he got the chance to go to the USA when the Allied Armies reached where he was working at the time.
Falco graduated with a PHD in Engineering in 1948. In the same year he moved to the UK to start working for Rolls-Royce in 1949.
On the 5th of April 1955, while Winston Churchill resigns as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Falco Automotive Engineering was founded in Bowden, Greater-Manchester.
Falco Automotive Engineering, also called Falco or the F.A.E., is established in the United Kingdom. and still has its headquarters located in Bowden, Greater-Manchester.
Engines was what it was all about at Falco but cars were always developed to show what their engines could do.

year 1955 + 306 hp + 1023 kilos
derp, that must be nice.
By the way, make sure that this GTO model has proper brakes - in it’s era I bet only Mercedes 300SL Gullwing was only faster. However 244 km/h car needs massive brakes to stop.

Hello everyone,
After being away for a while, I thought I’d upload something new. This car was made before I took a break.
The car uses my to date favourite engine I designed the FRX
Let me introduce you to the:
The result of Falco needing a car to house the 1701hp strong FRX engine.
This car was specially developed by Falco, but is still in a concept fase. According to the CEO of Falco the Peregrine Prototype I has room much room for improvements.
In his opinion the suspension is not right yet, nor have they found a gearbox good enough for the FRX. The car is also too heavy according to the CEO.
The Falco Peregrine - Prototype I is a 2 door coupé style motor vehicle with a mid mounted engine powering all four wheels.
The 8 cylinder, double overhead camshaft twin-turbocharged engine has 5 valves per cylinder and a capacity of 5.1 litres. In this application it provides power and torque figures of 1701 hp at 8400 rpm and 1562 Nm at 7000 rpm respectively.
Power is transferred to the wheels via a 7 speed double clutch sequential gearbox.
It weighs a claimed 1318.6 kg at the kerb.
Top quoted speed is 386.1 km/h…
And 300mm brakes was max. size that I could fit.
