Falcon F7 Soars: A Rare American Supercar Like No Other

Powercrafted Rarity - In a world where high-performance cars often come from global giants with decades of legacy, it's always exciting when a fresh name turns heads on the supercar stage. Amidst the roar of engines and spotlight of innovation, a small American manufacturer dared to dream big—and delivered. That dream took shape in the form of the Falcon F7, a bold creation that embodies raw power, refined craftsmanship, and the spirit of individuality that so often defines true automotive greatness.

The story of the Falcon F7 doesn’t begin with an army of engineers or a sprawling production facility. Instead, it traces back to a single vision. Falcon Motorsports, a boutique automaker based in Holly, Michigan, began building the F7 in 2009. With a clear focus and an unshakable passion for performance, they completed the car’s development by late 2011.

Its official debut came at the 2012 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), although a prototype had already made its first appearance there two years earlier. And when it returned to the NAIAS stage again in 2014, the Falcon F7 had grown into something far more polished—but no less rebellious.

What makes the Falcon F7 such a standout is not just its aggressive styling, but also the craftsmanship behind it. The body is sculpted from a blend of carbon fiber and Kevlar, laid over a monocoque chassis that also features aluminum for structural rigidity and weight savings. Weighing just 1,304 kg (2,875 lbs), the car is a featherweight contender in the supercar segment. Its design, a tribute to the angular, wedge-shaped icons of the 1980s, oozes nostalgia while still delivering cutting-edge performance.

Inside, the F7 brings together modern technology and artisanal attention to detail. The cockpit features brown-mustard leather trim with optional seats hand-stitched by Venzano, a name respected for bespoke automotive upholstery. Driver-centric touches like an adjustable gauge pod ensure that comfort and control go hand in hand. Despite its hardcore performance credentials, the Falcon F7 is equipped with creature comforts that match today’s expectations—Bluetooth connectivity, an iPod dock, Garmin GPS navigation, a premium audio system, power windows, and air conditioning all come standard.

At the heart of the Falcon F7 lies a beastly 7.0-liter V8 engine sourced from the Chevrolet Corvette, capable of unleashing 620 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and 585 lb-ft of torque at 5,400 rpm. Mated to a 6-speed manual transmission developed by Ricardo, the power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels. That setup rockets the car from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 3.3 seconds, reaching a top speed that ranges from 305 km/h (190 mph) up to a blistering 322 km/h (200 mph). Despite its ferocity, the car was engineered with emissions low enough to be considered for entry into the European market—an impressive feat for a hand-built American supercar.

Exclusivity is a major part of the F7's identity. With a target production run limited to just 20 units per year, owning one means being part of a very select club. And yet, as of today, only seven Falcon F7s have ever been built—making it not just rare, but one of the rarest supercars to ever wear an American badge.  Priced between $195,000 and $250,000 at the time, it enters a competitive arena but sets itself apart with features and craftsmanship typically reserved for vehicles costing significantly more.

The Falcon F7 doesn’t just offer performance—it offers a statement, one of individuality, passion, and a refusal to conform. Even today, more than a decade since it first made its mark, the Falcon F7 remains a symbol of what’s possible when ambition meets execution. It stands as a reminder that greatness doesn’t always come from size or history, but sometimes from a small garage in Michigan—where dreams of speed take flight.*** [EKA [01022014] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | FALCON MOTORSPORTS | FORBES | CONCEPTCARZ | NEWATLAS | CARBUZZ ]
