Falcon F7 Unveiled

Falcon F7: The Unsung American Superhero

Everyone’s got their eyes on Ferraris and Lamborghinis, but there’s something incredibly cool happening on the American front. Enter the Falcon F7. Built by Falcon Motorsports in Michigan, this mid-engined beauty is a rare sight in the world of supercars. Only seven were made, making it almost a mythical creature on the road. Designed by Jeff Lemke, this 2012 model car is up for grabs with just over 14,500 miles on the clock. What makes it stand out is not just its exclusivity, but also what’s under the hood and how it’s built.

Tech Specs

The Falcon F7 flexes some serious mechanical muscle. At its heart lies a naturally aspirated 7.0-liter LS7 V8 engine, courtesy of GM, with an impressive tune-up from Lingenfelter Performance. This setup churns out about 620 horsepower and 585 lb-ft of torque, numbers that could still make most modern supercar owners nod in respect.

Craftsmanship

It’s not just the power plant that stands out; the entire build of the F7 is something to talk about. The supercar weighs just 2,800 pounds, thanks to its construction. It boasts a carbon fiber monocoque and features both aluminum and Kevlar throughout its design. This lightweight build gives it not just a thrilling speed but nimble handling, key for those winding roads or quick city escapes.

Driving Experience

When it comes to getting behind the wheel, the Falcon F7 offers an experience that’s raw and unfiltered. Its six-speed gated manual transmission isn’t something you see every day, similar to the Lamborghini Gallardo’s feel. Driving this car is visceral, a bit like taming a wild beast that’s ready to charge at any given moment. Compared to some of the high-tech, gadget-laden European cars, the F7 is refreshingly mechanical and driver-focused, with Penske coilovers taking care of the suspension needs.

Inside, it might not win awards for luxury—think of it as more functional, straightforward with a dash of industrial charm. The cabin includes a six-speaker Rockford Fosgate audio system paired with a JL Audio amp, letting drivers choose between the roar of the engine or their favorite tunes as company.
