The roots of FPV can be traced back to 1991, when the English automotive engineering company Tickford began a collaboration with Ford Australia to produce high-performance variants of the Australian Falcon range.

Over the years, FPV expanded the range to include a High Performance version of the Ford Territory as well as a number of special editions and anniversary models.

[2] In preparation for Ford Australia's manufacturing shutdown, the FPV brand and its range were discontinued in 2014, after 12 years of production and marketing.

Prior to the release of the FG series F6 in 2008, the sedan and utility models were marketed as the F6 Typhoon and F6 Tornado respectively.

Positioned above the GT-P as the flagship model until the GT-E. Intended to sit below the GT and provide a lower entry-point to the FPV range.

The Pursuit was a ute (utility) version of the GT, featuring the same seats, basic dash/interior package and wheels.

All three were powered by a unique version of Ford's 5.4-litre Modular V8, with DOHC 4-valve cylinder heads from the Mustang Cobra R engine.

The F6 was visually separated from the GT range with the use of a different pattern in the front bumper grill mesh, and a smaller boot spoiler on the sedan.

The F6 now had colour coded fog lamp surrounds, and a lower grill insert emphasizing the intercooler.

Featured Models Special editions In October 2010 (before the FG MkII update), the 5.4 L V8 was replaced with the new 5.0 L Supercharged (Miami) V8.

It is capable of a sub 5 second 0–100 km/h (0-62 mph) time, surpassing the HSV GTS (the FPV's main rival) in both power and torque.

FPV released the track focused version of the R-spec in 2012, using the current GT with its 335 kW (449 hp)/570 N⋅m (420 lb⋅ft) supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine, creating Australia's fastest accelerating production car.

Mechanically, the GT-F features launch control, standard Brembo six-piston front and four-piston rear brakes, the suspension and 275/35 R19 Dunlop Sports Maxx 9in rear tyre package from the limited edition GT R-spec and a retuned version of the supercharged Coyote "Miami" 5.0 L V8 engine (embossed "GT-F 351" instead of "Boss 335") developing a minimum of 351 kW (477 PS; 471 bhp) at 6,000 rpm of power (or, depending on prevailing conditions, over 400 kW (544 PS; 536 bhp) for 15–20 seconds thanks to a transient overboost function) but an unchanged 570 N⋅m (420 lb⋅ft) at 2,500-5,500 rpm of torque[8] that is, however, available across a broader range.

[7] The NSW highway patrol acquired one of these last FPV GT sedans (build number 88 out of 500 allocated to the domestic market)[9] which, as a unique special, had the engine tuned by Ford racing legend Dick Johnson to 600 kW (805 hp; 816 PS).

[12] The F6X is fitted with the F6 270 Turbo 4.0 L DOHC in-line six-cylinder engine, a ZF six-speed automatic transmission and a full-time all-wheel-drive system.

[15] For the 2011 Melbourne motor show, FPV displayed the "FLPV concept" (commonly known as the "Black Edition"), based on the just released supercharged 335 kW (449 hp) GT series.

It featured an all-black appearance, and a unique front bumper and staggered wheel design at the time considered to be available on future FPV products.

[16] Based on the cast iron 4V DOHC Boss short blocks sourced from Windsor, Ontario, the Boss engines include some locally sourced parts such as intake and pistons coupled with DOHC 4-valve cylinder heads from the Mustang Cobra R engine.

The project, codenamed "Miami", is based on the Coyote 5.0 litre V8 and is a supercharged alloy quad cam engine.

In favourable atmospheric conditions, overboost mode raised the output to 400 kW / 650 Nm, being equal with the figures produced by the FPV GT-F.

The Boss 345 had the build number inscribed onto the top of the engine, instead of any reference to power figures as with previous iterations.

This is a specially tuned variant of the 5.0L unique to the GT-F, similar to the Cobra before it, the 351 is a reference to the Cleveland engines offered in the Falcon in the past.

[citation needed] For the BA/BF F6 Typhoon and Tornado models, the boost from the Garrett GT3540 turbocharger was increased over the Barra 240, producing 270 kW (362 hp; 367 PS) at 5,250 rpm and 550 N⋅m (406 lb⋅ft) of torque at 2,000-4,000 rpm With the FG series, the Garret GT3540 was retained as opposed to the smaller GT3576 used in the FG XR6 Turbo.

[19] The team achieved their first Bathurst 1000 victory in 2013 with Mark Winterbottom and Steven Richards driving a Falcon FG.

One of the car's main objectives was to expose the FPV brand to a younger audience than its usual, traditional V8-driving crowd.

The F6 drift car managed to score a best qualifying position of 5th at Mallala Motorsport Park in Adelaide, South Australia.
