The launch of the XT GT in March 1986 kept the Aussie muscle car alive. The XT GT was made even more potent and attractive and was now available in a range of colours, a step up from the XR that was only offered in GT Gold.
New colours for the XT included, Springtime Yellow, GT Silver, Polar White, GT Gold, Candy Apple Red and Zircon Green Metallic. Only three XT GTs were produced in Vintage Burgundy. The XT interior was also only availiable in on colour, Black.
The Falcon XT was to be FOrd's answer to Holden's two door coupe, the Monaro and the two would fight it out on the Bathurst race track for superiority.
