Australia welcomes FPV F6 X

Australia welcomes the long awaited FPV F6 X at the Australian International Motor Show in Sydney. According Ford’s press release, the new F6 X is the first non Falcon-based vehicle introduced by Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV). FPV also plans on establishing new markets as well as offer vehicles fit for the Australian terrain.

"FPV has always had the goal to extend the brand beyond Falcon-based product and I'm very pleased to be able to showcase the first new offering today," FPV General Manager Rod Barrett said.

"The new F6 X is designed for the family that enjoys performance vehicle motoring and appreciates a true sports luxury feel."

The F6 X is packed with a powerful F6 270 Turbo 4.0-litre DOHC in-line six-cylinder engine capable of generating 270kW of power and 550Nm of torque. Add to that the ZF six-speed automatic transmission and a full-time All-Wheel-Drive system.
The F6 X is also a safe vehicle with advanced features like Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Traction Control and four-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD). The standard side curtain airbags and dual-stage driver and front passenger airbags also helps passengers feel safer.

Its interior only provides comforted and high sense of style with a unique Shadow and Pumice two-tone seat trim, along with six-way power adjustment and three position memory for the driver's seat.

"The unique styling of the leather seats is a standout, eye-catching feature of the F6 X and contributes to the sports luxury feel that permeates the entire vehicle," said Barrett.

The stylish appeal is also present on the exterior with a high-tech front mesh grille insert, rear spoiler and alloy running boards.

The new FPV F6 X will hit showrooms in early 2008.
