November 30th, 2009 Nits Posted in Automotive | No Comments »

This special edition Falcon is quite rare as only 200 were rolled out by Ford Motors. Just to give you an idea, it means that only one in every 110,000 Aussies could ever own one!

The sophisticated powerplant of Ford’s FPV is a modular engine with some forms of the BOSS 5.4-liter, four-valve, DOHC equipped with superchargers attached and rated at 400 kW. Turn the key and tap the ignition button and the BOSS suddenly comes to life. This special edition GT is fitted with the ZF Sachs six-speed automatic gearbox. The driving position is quite different from the previous FPV range. It’s comfortable with its electric angle tilt and you’ll feel that you’re in total control of the car from the driver’s seat. The limited FPV easily sits five passengers – rear seat room is more spacious; legroom is much better, as is entry and exit thanks to the new rear passenger door cutaway. One of the finest features of the new FPV is the multimedia interface which will you to adjust every aspect of the car. It also has Bluetooth and MP3 capability along with full iPod integration.

This GT is available only in two colors, silhouette or lightning silver. On top of the standard package of the GT, the special edition adds 19-inch alloy wheels, premium Brembo braking kit, leather seats, unique floor mats and unique build number badge. As expected, acceleration is smooth and manageable. Fuel consumption for the V8 with 315kW power, 551Nm of torque is claimed to be 14.0-liters/100km.
