FPV's gunning for the senator, its going to release a new performance luxury model with the release of the BF Mark II.

As far as I know its based on the Fairmont , It will have either the F6 4L or the Boss V8. I haven't seen any pics yet but its going to have a subtle body kit ie no rear spoiler

From what i heard they will be out around the end of OCT.

all BF's will get a face change to look more agressive except the XR's which won't change at all. The Fairmont Ghia looks the best out of all the models (even better than the XR's now)

I work for a Large dealership that has a FORD, CHRYSLER / DODGE / JEEP and HYUNDAI franchise. I was asked today if i had told anyone as ford want to keep it a secret until the launch but oh well its only a job and i'm not that attached to it :D. I'll take some pics on my phone tommorow and put them up here :O

FPV F6 Typhoon

0-100 km/h: 5.35 seconds

Standing 400 m: 13.95 seconds @ 170 km/h

Top Speed: 250 km/h (limited)

That funny cause Ford released the above performance stats-umm dont see a 12 sec anywhere there

The fact that standard they handle like a boat and are no quicker round Qld raceway than a well driven WRX makes me go sleepy nite nite

12.9 with nothing changed but an air filter mate.

12.9 with nothing changed but an air filter mate.

ill 2nd that, a black phoon ute and sedan was at WSID last week when i was there, they said late 12s stock!

Now modded with intake kits, cooler and computer, low 12s easy! those autos hammer too!

Another ford to tempt me ;)

Guys I can assure you that the FPV Typhoon will do a 12.9 stock.

Myself, I did 7 passes and all were in the 13.2-4 and I weigh 140kg. Another guy that was there with the same car except he had 19"wheels (mine are 18") ran 3 x 12.9's.

The times have been backed up the following week.

gotta love the one-eyed skyline fans who wont admit the F6 is a good car hehehe.. same goes for every brand i guess..

back on topic, there have been numerous high 12's and low 13sec runs, and i believe there was even a 12.73 run, stock with filter, stock factory dunlops and auto... you must admit that is impressive

wow its a second slower than my 180sx(and 2sec slower than my GTR)

how bout lap times in a stock one....yawn again

:dry:

Is your GTR or 180SX Stock ?

If not, there is NO comparison.

A Worked XR6Turbo ran a 9.98...your GTR...yawn....your 180sx....yawn again :P

Does the auto give a better launch? My mates Typhoon definately isn't 12 sec material. My 34 goes better and would be 13.4 at best.

I do not know many people who can tell 1/2 a seconds difference by seat of the pants driving. The Auto makes a huge difference in launching, as manuals just seem to spin the rears or clutch.

The Typhoon is deceptivly quick as the 6 speed auto pulls harder than a 14yo boy.

We are not saying that a Typhoon is better than a Skyline, just informing you of the facts about their real world performance.

    • Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.
    • The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year. 
    • Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
    • Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.
    • E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
