2005 Australian International Motor Show: FPV Shifts into Top Gear with New BF Range
Staff, Thursday October 13, 2005.
Page 1 of 1
The new-look BF lineup introduces significant styling and class-leading mechanical upgrades that will continue to build upon the success generated by the BA FPV series.
For the first time since FPV was launched in September 2002, the BF range will consist of a full product lineup of six high-performance models: GT, GT-P, Pursuit, Super Pursuit, F6 Typhoon and F6 Tornado. The addition of the ZF six-speed automatic transmission has allowed FPV to increase its product portfolio with, for the first time, an automatic gearbox available as an option on the turbo-charged F6 Typhoon and F6 Tornado.
"Ford Performance Vehicles is little over three years old, and the support we have received from our customers and dealers has been tremendous," said David Flint, Managing Director of Ford Performance Vehicles.
"This is the first time we have been able to launch a new model with a complete lineup and, in turn, offer our customers the widest possible choice in high-performance vehicles. The addition of automatic variants of F6 Typhoon and F6 Tornado will increase the appeal of FPV to an even wider audience, while the improvements made to the rest of the range builds on the name we have made for fresh exciting and technically-advanced product.
"The BF FPV range represents a significant step forward in performance, safety, efficiency and, most importantly, the fun of driving."
Never has an Australian- built production car range contained so many technologically-advanced performance driving features. The new ZF six-speed automatic transmission or the close-ratio Tremec T56 six-speed manual, the Boss 290 quad cam V8 or the F6 270 Turbo with its twin-plate clutch, the award-winning Control Blade independent rear suspension system, Brembo brakes and the outstanding Falcon chassis, all combine to offer the very best range of vehicles yet from FPV.
Complementing these mechanical features, the BF FPV range introduces an aggressive new styling theme with greater visual distinction between Boss 290 V8-powered and F6 270 Turbo-powered models, and more options for customers to personalise their vehicle.
