Used in the new Falcon here (the block is about a 40 year old design though!!) there's also a turbo version with 240kW (320hp) available. 2005 BA2 "Velocity Blue" Falcon XR6 Turbo http://www.fast-autos.net/ford/xr6turbo3.html

An inline 6 is inherently much better balanced and smooth than any 4, V6, V8, or V10. A little trivia. The firing order on most inline 6 engines is 153624. The way we were taught to remember that many years ago was with the little ditty "fifteen is too young, thirtysix is too old, but twentyfour is just right". I know what an inline 6 is but was unsure what inline 6 this guy was referring to. Contours don't have inline 6's so I was confused. I was referring to inline 6s in general, e.g. BMW. I am quite aware that my car does not, in fact, have an inline 6 in it. '00 SVT Amazon Green born on 2/2/2000 #2078 of 2150 formerly known as ddzwonek
