FG FPV Ute Release Information & Specifications
With awesome power increases across the range, Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV) today launched its new generation of high-performance F6 and V8 work horses – the F6 Ute, Pursuit and Super Pursuit.
"We are proud to launch our line-up of FPV Utes with amazing power outputs, maximum ride comfort and awesome pulling power," said FPV General Manager Rod Barrett. "The first Ute rolled off the Ford assembly line in 1934; it's amazing to see how far that design has now come." "The utility has always been an icon in Australian culture but now we've cranked up the power and enhanced driver comfort for the ultimate work horse."
