2005 Ford FPV F6 Typhoon news, pictures, and information | ||
| Tweet | ||
Ford Performance Vehicles rewrote the rules in the Australian high-performance car §egmènt wîth its first turbo-charged production concept car – the F6 Typhoon.
Únveiled at the 2004 Melbourne Motor Show, the F6 Typhoon is certain to establish FPV as the technical leaders in the tribal high-performance market and reinforce the six-cylinder engine as a worthy alternative to FPV's class-leading Boss 290 V8 engine.
The 4.0-litre turbocharged and intercooled six-cylinder F6 270 Turbo engine will produce an amazing 366 bhp of power and a staggering 406 lb-ft of torque – the highest torque output of any production engine ever built in Australia.
This car is the next step in re-affirming Ford Performance Vehicles as the benchmark high-performance car manufacturer in Australia,' says David Flint, Managing Director of Ford Performance Vehicles.
'It will broaden the appeal of the Ford Performance Vehicles brand and introduce a new range of owners to our family. But we believe it will also expand the boundaries of what our owners expect, and what they experience, from Ford Performance Vehicles as it delivers a completely unique and exciting driving experience.
The F6 Typhoon production concept is instantly recognizable as part of the FPV family wîth its standout styling. However, it has a range of unique
styling cues, including pewter highlights on the front and rear bumpers, high-tech mesh grille inserts and a rear bootlid spoiler wîth FPV's trademark three-pillar design.
Inside the cockpit, the car has sports seats wîth a technical design, suede bolsters and FPV identification in the headrests. It also features aluminium pedals and interior highlights and the unique FPV dash-mounted starter button.Source - Ford

| 20 Years Ago - End Of The Line For The People'S Favourite | |
 | On May 5, 2013, it is 20 years since Volvo's single best-selling model, the 240 series, went out of production. Almost 2.9 million cars were made during the 19 years the 240 was produced; the car that first was criticized for its boring and boxy appearance, but during its lifetime managed to set the international standard for both safety and environment, win the European Touring Car Championship and achieve the status of yuppie cult car before it was discontinued in May 1993. The Volvo 240 wa...[Read more...] |

| 1996 24 Hours of Le Mans: Finally a Victory, Still 2nd | |
 | Thierry Boutsen's first encounter with the 24 Hours of Le Mans would come only after a few years of his being involved in racing. In 1981, Boutsen would partner with Serge Saulnier and Michel Pignard to drive the WM P81. It would prove to be an introductory experience as the race would last just 15 laps before it would all come to an end. This would be just the first of three early retirements in the 1980s. The 1990s, however, would be an entirely different story altogether. Boutsen's breakth...[Read more...] |
