Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford) of Australia's performance arm, Ford Performance Vehicles (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/fpv), always unveils machines that cause our drool to drip all the way down to the Outback - and we're not talking gimmicky steakhouses here. A new FPV showcar has just been revealed for the Australian International Auto Show in Melbourne, and we're already stuffing our mouth with gauze. It's called the FPV Concept, and it's based on the Ford Falcon GT sedan.
Looking decisively evil in its blacked-out color scheme, the FPV Concept is powered by a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine. Large 19-inch wheels help sort the handling and power, with eight-inch-wide rollers up front and 9.5-inch-wide wheels in the rear. The suspension is track-tuned and in our dreams, the exhaust system has been tuned by Hades himself.
Sadly, this FPV Concept is just another vehicle in a long line of Australian muscle machines Americans will never get to buy. Learn more about this particular one by reading the full press release posted after the jump (http://www.mnfords.com/2011/07/01/fpv-shows-off-sinister-gt-based-concept-with-supercharged-5-0/#continued).Continue reading FPV shows off sinister GT-based concept with supercharged 5.0 (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/01/fpv-shows-off-sinister-gt-based-concept-with-supercharged-5-0/)
