FactIn its final year, the FPV GT-F 351 set the record for the fastest production car ever made in Australia, touching 297 km/h.
The FPV FG GT, introduced in 2008, used a 5.4-litre Boss 315 V8 making 315 kW (422 hp) at 6,500 rpm and 406 lb-ft at 4,750 rpm (the GT-E luxury variant followed the same year); from 2010 a supercharged 5.0-litre Miami V8 replaced the Boss engines, making 335 kW (449 hp) and 420 lb-ft in the GT range, and the 2012 GT R-Spec was finished black with red highlights. The 2014 GT-F 351 used the supercharged Miami V8 tuned to 351 kW (471 hp) at 6,000 rpm and 406 lb-ft between 2,500-5,500 rpm, speed-limited to 250 km/h, and with its limiter removed set the record for fastest Australian production car at 297 km/h (driven by John Bowe for Wheels magazine).

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

In April 2007 FPV marked the GT nameplate's 40th birthday with an anniversary edition finished only in black with gold stripes.
FPV's BA GT ran a Mustang heart: the Boss 290 V8 borrowed its DOHC 4-valve cylinder heads straight from the 2000 Mustang Cobra R, grafted into Ford Australia's own 5.4-litre block.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
