Ford Performance Vehicles debuts 5th anniversary FPV Falcon

Ford is celebrating the 5th anniversary of it's FPV division (Ford Performance Vehicles) in Australia, and they're doing it in grand fashion. Ford Australia is rolling out a limited edition Falcon, with the car making it's debut at the Australian Motor Show.

"In only five short years, FPV has grown to become an icon in Australian performance motoring," said FPV General Manager Rod Barrett. "In recognition of this milestone we are launching a vehicle which will ensure this tradition continues."

Only 200 copies of the FPV Falcon will be available and Ford began taking orders at the show. The cars are powered by Ford's Boss 315 5.4L DOHC V-8, churning out 422 hp and 406 lb-ft through either a Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual or a ZF six-speed automatic with Sequential Sport Shift.

Bringing it to a stop are six-piston Brembo calipers, lurking behind new 19-in wheels in Alpine Silver. The car itself only comes in Lightening Strike (silver) and silhouette (black). Inside, the sport seats are finished in Nudo Leather with the 5th Anniversary logo embossed in the headrests, as well as the floor mats.

Each car is individually numbered and features a dash plaque with its build number. The car also gets the full options treatment with dual-zone climate control, a sport steering wheel, power windows, alloy pedal covers and a premium audio system with a six-disc in-dash CD player and iPod connectivity. Interested Aussies can pick one up now for just $71,890 ($46,713 U.S.) before they're gone.
