A redesign was introduced for the 1968 model year. The wheelbase remained at 116 in, but it grew in other dimensions. They were about four inches longer and 200 lb heavier than the cars they replaced. A fastback Sportsroof model was introduced in the Fairlane 500 series, as well as a more luxurious Torino model at the top of the intermediate range, contributing 172,083 of the Fairlane's 371,787 units sold that year. The base engine was the 200 cu in (3.3 L) I6, with several optional V8s. Early production 1968 base V8 Fairlanes were equipped with the two-barrel 289 cu in, while later units came with the 302 cu in. The GTs were part of the Torino range, with the 302 cu in V8 standard, with optional engines being the 390 CID V8 in two- and four-barrel versions. The 390 four-barrel was supplanted mid-year as the top performance engine by the 428 cu in Cobra Jet, developing 335 bhp.
