Scheduled to be unveiled at the Sydney Motor Show on October 7, the final production version of the FPV F6 Typhoon will showcase the introduction of the new close-ratio Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission.
The six-speed manual gearbox will also become standard equipment in the updated MkII FPV GT, GT-P and Pursuit, all of which are powered by the high-tech quad cam Boss 290 ? the only V8 engine to be built in Australia.
All Boss V8-powered FPV models will be available with the current four-speed automatic with sequential shift function as an option while the F6 Typhoon will be launched exclusively with the new six-speed manual transmission. The F6 Typhoon will be powered by a turbo-charged high-performance version of the 4.0-litre DOHC in-line six cylinder with 270kW of power and 550Nm of torque ? the highest torque output of any Australian production engine.
?The introduction of a six-speed manual gearbox to the FPV lineup is the next phase in the evolution of our high-performance range,? says David Flint, Managing Director of Ford Performance Vehicles.
?It will enhance the driving enjoyment of our vehicles and provide improvements in a number of areas, including acceleration.?
FPV will release final details of its MkII lineup at the Sydney Motor Show on October 7.
