FPV Reveals Concept Car

[Joe5619]

That is a much better looking FPV!!!

I know it is called the "BlacK" concept car, but does it come in other colours?

[GTJOHN]

Looks very nice, not over the top, but a very streetable car with a
great presence...Id buy one in a flash if i had the cash ...hope to see
these released at some stage..

[Ford Falcon XR6]

Very nice now FPV just need to put it into production that would be great

[Bucknaked]

Looks like from the picture, that the front guards, bonnet and bar are a mat black, while the rest of the car is a shiny black?

[flappist]

Hmm, first concept car?

And we all know how that turned out.

With a bit of luck history will repeat....

[GT014]

The striping just looks so much better on this than the current SC GT

[Wolfblass]

about time they fixed the front raccoon eyes.. MUCH better as one colour and the ducts suit it well too!

[kempy311]

OMG give it to me

[FGII-XR6]

[nstg8a]

You do realise that the captiva remark was putting poo on one of their own one eyed troll fanbois.

Read it again....

There! Mad Max's new coupe! The 4 door would do though..




If i had the dough, i would definatly buy one.

[LANKY 1]

I sent the pic to a holden guy at work, he stuck it up as his wallpaper! only yesterday he sent me a pic of a yellow ve which promptly got deleted

As much as I love the new visual treatment, what exactly have they done to the suspension to make it 'upgraded'?

[Kryton]

Wouldnt mind seeing how the dash came up.
The car itself does tick all of the boxes, hopefully it will go into production.

100% absolutely agree with you. These brake cooling ducts are exactly what the look has needed.

I wonder if now with much of those inserts gone... if one can have them coloured differently...

And then I'd like to see the GTE with chrome edged ducts... that'd be cool.

[metalsport]

The shadow onto the front right pannel from its right side rear vision mirror looks very much like the FPV Logo birds head to me..... god I got to get out more.

"Responding to customer requests, FPV has also fitted the car with a firmer suspension package, wide 9-5-inch rear wheels (1.5 inches wider than the front wheels) and a performance-oriented exhaust package. "

Hmm, firmer shocks and revised rate springs... I wonder who they have gone to for the new parts.
Anyone know if the Holden magazines, sorry Wheels and Motor, have driven this new beast?

What dodgy spinners they are... changing the wording like that.

[GTPete]

This is the type of car that makes other cars keep left, great job FPV!

Sorry guys I love FPV but...did I read it right, its a sticker pack, with aftermarket wheels.

Its a concept car. They could have at least flash tuned the thing. Not that far to Herrods or BluePower.

That said, I still want one.

Custom graphics pack. Custom interior. Custom exhaust. Brake cooling ducts. 6pot brembos at the front. Larger wheels. It's like an XR pack for the GT.

And because it's a one off, and has a custom exhaust... it's more than likely someone would have made some tweaks to the ECU. As it's a presentation car... they could've tuned the crap out of it.

This probably sounds biased, but I still think the Efigy Holden made a few years ago is the greatest example of a concept car this country has ever seen.

No probably about you're biased alright as the Efigy in my opinion is the culmination of chrylser vehicles the holden made look ugly.The first time I saw it,it looked so familiar in three area's I recon it's ripped straight from a plymouth cranbrook and a 58 fury all holden did was puff the front guards out to ballance the back guards which are from a cranbrook.

Once you see both these cars you quickly see there's not much concept went on as all key area's on efigy were prominant in america's car history at some point or other.

Well.... the 48 215, and FJ were american drawn and designed. And Im sure you are aware... Companies that make products that compete against each other, often end up making similar styling choices.
