A prototype was first shown to the public at the 2010 Detroit International Autoshow. In 2012 the company then publicly unveiled and presented the production version to the international automotive press, named Falcon F7, which represented the company's inaugural vehicle. The F7 is a mid engine rear-wheel-drive two seat sports car with a monocoque chassis built from aluminum, carbon fiber and Kevlar. In its base configuration the car is powered by a naturally aspirated 427 cubic inch all aluminum dry-sump V8 (LS7-derived), delivering between 620 to 680 hp which enables the 2,750 lb. car to accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph in 3.3 - 3.6 seconds.
The company later introduced an evolution model which utilizes forced induction, i.e. a twin turbo system on its 427 cubic inch V8, bringing the output of the car to 1,100 hp to the wheels. This version will accelerate from 0-60 in 2.7 seconds. The powertrain was developed in co-operation with American high performance automotive specialist Lingenfelter Performance Engineering.
Depending on configuration, trim level and materials official prices for a bespoke and hand-built F7 range from $195,000 - $395,000.
Since its introduction the F7 has found much praise for its performance, unique appeal and exclusivity by automotive enthusiasts, test drivers and journalists.
