FPV 5th Anniversary GT Sedan

Five years ago, Australia saw the debut of Performance Inc., the high performance arm of Ford of Australia. Celebrating this milestone in Australian performance motoring, Ford Performance Vehicles have today announced at Sydney's International Motor Show the launch of a new limited editon model - the FPV 5th Anniversary GT Sedan.

Limited to a run of just 200 examples and joining the collectable ranks of the Cobra and 40th Anniversary Edition GT, this limited edition model boasts a host of exclusive branded highlights and a generously upgraded spec sheet.

"In only five short years, FPV has grown to become an icon in Australian performance motoring," said FPV General Manager Rod Barrett. "[This Anniversary edition] will ensure that tradition continues."

Available only in Lightning Strike or Silhouette paint jobs and featuring a special striping package designed for the anniversary edition, the FPV GT Sedan also debuts a new 19-inch multi-spoke alloy design, rear decals and features a 6-piston Brembo brake package.

Inside, and the exclusive touches continue. Fifth anniversary badging and build number adorn the centre console, while Nudo leather finished sports seats also feature embossed logos. Some AU$9600 of additional equipment is thrown in, the limited edition model carrying only a AU$5300 premium over the standard FPV GT Sedan. Features include air con, sports leather steering wheel, power windows, alloy pedals and a premium audio package.

The Recommended Retail Price for the FPV 5th Anniversary is AU$71,890 (US$47,660).

So soon after the almost identical looking HSV thing yesterday this doesn't show much imagination.

True, it even gets a similar decal/stripe treatment.

Precisely. The Australian car industry is a joke.

joke, but more horse power than the mustang gt , and I like the desing of falcon eye, and it was a rwd more funny than a taurus or a fusion frontwd.

Actually they go pretty well - nice handling and not quite as bloated as the Holden Commodore. I used to prefer holdens over Falcons but I think I'm switching.

Given the choice between a Commie and a Falcon, you'd have to be blind to the facts not to pick the Falcon. In saying this, I still don't think much of them. The XR6 Turbo however, I'd own one of those to tow a track car. For what they are, they're not too bad.
