The Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo has reached the end of its run as a highway patrol car in Australia after almost two decades of service across four generations of Falcons.
The final example – a marked sedan attached to Surry Hills highway patrol near the Sydney CBD – handed in its stripes on 31 March 2021 after clocking up 86,156km over four years.
It was one of the last Ford Falcon XR6 Turbos put on the road by NSW Police in late 2016, not long after Ford’s Broadmeadows production line fell silent in October of that year.

Subscriber only How long cannabis users stay impaired or stoned has been discovered by researchers at the Lambert Initiative for Cannabinoid Therapeutics, as medicinal cannabis prescriptions exceed 100,000 nationwide. As legal cannabis is prescribed more regularly, lead researcher Dr Danielle McCarthy and associates conducted the most comprehensive study so far into cannabis impairment. While the intoxicating ingredient in marijuana, THC, can be detected for weeks after consumption, researchers found people remained impaired for between three and 10 hours after consuming moderate to high doses of cannabis. The Lambert Initiative for Cannabinoid Therapeutics was launched at Sydney University after Barry and Joy Lambert made a $33.7 million donation for research into the therapeutic use of medicinal cannabis.
