GT Concept that was unveiled last month at the 2011 Australian Motor Show and now it’s ready for the next level. The official in-house tuner of Ford’s Aussie division, Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV), has given this concept the greenlight for production. This decision was strongly influenced by the positive feedback received from fans and show-goers.
As a reminder, Ford GT Concept is based on FPV’s existing GT muscle sedan, which itself is based on the humble Ford Falcon. This model gets a unique version of the Mustang Boss’ 5.0-liter V-8 complete with an Eaton supercharger attached and a track-tuned suspension setup. Also, it is fitted with a wider track and uprated brakes.
Ford Performance Vehicles has since taken the popular black-on-black treatment and applied the stealth-looking paintwork to just 125 units of its current GT model. This it also gets a supercharged Boss V-8, one rated at 450 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, becoming a breathtaking machine.
As expected, the production version will be called the FPV GT Black and it gets a black paint finish, 19-inch black alloy wheels and black tail pipes. In the cabin, there’s a display screen with a reverse camera and leather trim, but unfortunately, none of the serious performance modifications from the concept carhas made it to production. Still, the official in-house tuner insists that some of these may appear on its future models, but we’ll see that at the right time.
For now the manufacturer did not reveal any details about pricing.
