FPV Enhances Powerful SUV with Striking Design

Staff, Thursday January 31, 2008.

Page 1 of 1

A range of stylish exterior accents and striking interior treatments gives FPV’s new sports luxury F6X the looks to match its performance.

"Increased power and improved performance are the key features of the new sports luxury F6X, and we have complemented this with a bold new FPV enhanced exterior package." said FPV General Manager, Rod Barrett.

The visual design of the F6X emphasises its sporty performance, with unique Molten Metal colour accenting and F6X badging ensuring the vehicle stands out from the crowd.

From the front, the SUV is distinguished by a high-tech front mesh grille insert finished with a Molten Metal highlight, and the distinctive F6X badge.
An "F6X 270" badge also features on the rear of the vehicle, along with a unique FPV dual exhaust outlet with chrome tips.

Under the bonnet, "F6 270" badging on the engine’s air intake is combined with an aluminium air-to-air intercooler with unique F6X blue cover.

The Molten Metal treatment is continued throughout the vehicle with accenting on the front and rear skid plates, hood scoop inlet and mirror scalps.

The F6X will be available in eight exterior colours:

Ego: Dark Grey (gunmetal)
Lightning Strike: Silver
Nitro*: Bright Blue
Seduce: Cherry Red
Sensation*: Deep Royal Blue
Silhouette: Black
Velvet*: Deep Maroon
Winter White: White

"The F6X’s bolder road presence is accentuated by a new optional F6X 270 stripe package, available in metallic colours of azure blue, silver and pewter and charcoal and dark charcoal or matte black," said Barrett.

"These new colour and striping options emphasise the performance attributes of the F6X and continue the striping theme that is a key look throughout the FPV range."

Alloy running boards with body coloured side panels and a body coloured rear lip spoiler are standard.

Unique new 18" five-spoke alloy wheels in an Alpine Silver finish are exclusive to the F6X and provide an additional point of difference to the exterior design.

Eye-catching Interior Accents

The standout feature of the cabin is a unique two-tone leather seat trim combining Shadow and Pumice, which is continued through to the third row on the seven-seat variant.

The sharp two-tone look is enhanced by the striking "F6X" logo embroidered on each headrest.

"The interior is quite different from anything currently available in the FPV range and the two-tone seat trim creates a real visual impact."

The six-way power adjustment and three position memory for the driver’s seat adds to the performance luxury feel of the vehicle.

Each vehicle comes with its own unique FPV build plate mounted on the gear selector surround while FPV floor mats, front and rear scuff plate inserts and power adjustable pedals with sports alloy covers add to the list of luxury interior appointments.

The premium Interior Command Centre (ICC) unit includes a premium audio system with 6-disc in-dash CD player, colour screen and dual zone climate control, finished in Molten Metal colour.

The FPV sports instrument cluster features an engine speed red-line with distinctive blue illumination and the FPV logo, and the vehicle is fitted with a leather sports steering wheel and leather wrapped handbrake lever with chrome button.

Safety comes first in the F6X

The F6X is fitted with a number of advanced active and passive safety features, including Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and four-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Traction Control.

With a Reverse Camera as standard, the F6X gives additional piece of mind.

"When reverse gear is selected the image from the rear of the vehicle is captured on the wide-angle camera- measuring about 130 degrees- and immediately displayed on the colour screen." said Barrett.

Side-curtain airbags and dual-stage driver and front passenger airbags are also fitted as standard equipment along with a Reverse Sensing System.

The vehicle’s security is also enhanced with the fitment of FPV’s ID Datadot identification.

"The F6X comes with all the standard equipment fitments you would expect from a luxury SUV," said Barrett.

"The exterior and interior design treatments all combine to deliver a performance sports SUV that is instantly recognisable, and uniquely FPV."

*Nitro available from April 2008, Sensation available from March 2008, Velvet available from August 2008.
