Ford Performance Vehicles has revealed its first-ever ‘concept car’ at the Australian International Motor Show in Melbourne. The all-black GT-based FPV concept features a number of bespoke features and design treatments, fronted by a spectacular black-on-black treatment.

The one-off concept car is powered by a supercharged Boss 5.0 litre Miami V8 engine offering 455 hp and 570 Nm in its V2G guise, and is finished in a Silhouette black paintwork featuring a unique matte finish stripe package on the bonnet, rear wing and bodysides, and the paint treatment is also carried over to the rear diffuser.

Up front, large brake ducts are incorporated into the modified front fascia, black framing has been used to enhance the rear light graphics treatment, and the vehicle carries unique black GT badging.

It sits on 19-inch lightweight one-piece forged alloy wheels (8.0-inch wide front and 9.5-inch wide rear), finished in black of course, shod with special Dunlop SP Sportmaxx GT tyres.

Underneath there’s a track-tuned suspension specification and a full stainless steel high-flow twin exhaust system, finished with quad black tips. The performance brake package includes larger six-piston brake calipers up front and four-piston brake calipers at the rear, which are also both finished in black.

Inside, the all-black theme continues with black leather trim throughout and an all-black dash treatment that includes the interior command centre (ICC).

    Dammmnnn!!..now that’s what i call real Aussie muscle.What a ride! It screams “get the hell out of my way!!”-standing still,what more if it were to show up in your rear view mirror roaring the hell up.

    If Sime Darby were to bring even a few units(which i certainly doubt) just to satisfy a few muscle car fanatics such as myself,i would certainly buy one,regardless of cost.Delicous.Ace.

    Cheers.

  • I personally don’t like the rear of the normal GT, other then the rear I like the overall look, but the “Black GT” they really done well and make what great to awesome, wish there are pic for the rear of the “Black GT” to see if it any better for my personal tastes. I would dare to say that with all this on the “Black GT” FPV can stand proud and tell HSV to step aside. let also hope the interior is different or better then the GT since I must say the word “TAXIS” everytime I look into one. It sad that I can’t go to see the Melbourne Motor Show
