In pursuit of FPV ute

At the same time as it introduced the new Falcon GT R-Spec sedan in Melbourne, Ford Performance Vehicles also displayed the most limited of all limited-edition utes it has ever built.

Available only in Silhouette (a very black black) with Vixen stripes and accents, the FPV Pursuit ute will be limited to just 75 units.

The latest FPV Pursuit ute has a GT colour-coded front bumper and eight-inch alloy wheels in the same design as the nine-inch units fitted to the GT R-Spec.

The Pursuit has the standard features of the current GS ute, to which have been added a Pursuit badge across the tailgate and a GT colour-coded bumper that ties in nicely with the decal pack featuring FPV’s ‘C’ stripe.

This eye-catching colour scheme lifts the looks of the already good FPV body modifications. The result is a true Aussie-designed and -built ute that really stands out on the road.

Inside, the latest FPV ute has Shadow leather sports seats, a stylish piano-black interior finish around the ICC unit, the tissue box and the door spears.

The limited edition Pursuit Ute is powered by the FPV modified all-aluminium 315 kW 5.0-litre Harrop-supercharged V8 engine. The engine is based on the Boss unit built for the Ford Mustang in the US but gets quite a few modifications after it hits the FPV workshop in Melbourne. The recommended manufacturer’s list price for the limited edition FPV Pursuit ute is $57,990. On-road and governments charges have to be added.
