Sydney International Motor Show 2003 - Lightning Does Strike Twice
Staff, Thursday October 16, 2003.
Page 1 of 1
A striking new colour combination will thunder its way into Ford Performance Vehicles showrooms this month.
Lightning Strike, a bright silver, has been added to the FPV colour charts and will be seen for the first time at the Sydney International Motor Show.
It is expected to become an extremely popular choice for buyers of the FPV range, particularly with the GT and GT-P which will be available with orange stripes.
Lightning Strike will become only the second colour in FPV?s dynamic range of high-performance cars to have the bold orange side stripes as an option on the sedans. Previously, the orange stripes have only been available on Phantom Purple, one of the most popular colours for FPV since deliveries began in March.
The Lightning Strike and orange stripes combination is a modern interpretation of one of the classic GT Falcon colour combinations of the 1970?s, Silver Fox.
?I am positive Lightning Strike will become very popular for FPV,? says David Flint, Managing Director of Ford Performance Vehicles.
?We have been waiting to expand the availability of the orange stripes across our range, and Lightning Strike provides the perfect opportunity for us to do this.
?We know this will become an instant classic as there has been considerable demand for this combination from our customers.?
At the same time as Lightning Strike is introduced, Ford Performance Vehicles will also replace Venom with a richer shade of red called Vixen.
As it was with Venom, the new Vixen red will be available with black stripes.
Ford Performance Vehicles is a joint venture operation, 51 per cent owned by Prodrive, one of the world?s leading automotive and motorsport companies, and 49 per cent owned by the Ford Motor Company of Australia.
It produces a three-model range of high-performance cars ? the GT, GT-P and Pursuit Ute ? all of which are powered by the only V8 engine to be developed and produced in Australia, the quad-cam Boss 290.
FPV has built more than 1200 vehicles since it started production earlier this year. It has also produced more than 5000 Boss V8 engines for FPV models and the Ford Falcon XR8 at its new state-of-the-art engine facility in Campbellfield.
