The all-new FPV F6 E, originally launched in concept form at this year's Melbourne International Motor Show, has today been officially unveiled by Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV) before it goes on sale in early September.
Contrasting nicely with the overtly sporty F6, the F6 E is more subtle courtesy of a softer colour palette and more luxurious finishes and trim thus making it more suited as an executive express than anything else in the FPV stable.
“The F6 E will cater for the corner of the market - in particular executives - that want the performance and dynamics of the F6 with some added luxury appointments and subdued styling.”
“Feedback from our customers leaves us confident that the F6 E will be a hit with those looking for something more from their performance vehicle,” FPV General Manager Rod Barrett said.

Power comes from a 4.0-litre turbocharged DOHC 24 valve in-line six engine that develops a peak power output of 310 kW (at 5500 rpm) and maximum torque of 565 Nm across the range from 1950 to 5200 rpm.
Mated to a ZF six-speed high-torque automatic transmission with Sequential Sports Shift as standard, the FPV F6 E boasts a fuel economy figure of 12.1 L/100 km.
The F6 E receives performance 355 x 32mm cross-drilled and ventilated front rotors with Brembo 6-piston calipers and 330 x 28mm cross-drilled and ventilated rear rotors with Brembo 4-piston caliper as standard.
Styling-wise, the upper radiator and lower bumper grille mesh are finished in black chrome, while the front driving lamps are highlighted with a high chrome bezel and complemented by full body coloured bumpers.
The new FPV badge takes centre stage on both the front and rear of the vehicle and the new F6 E badge features on the rear and side panels.
The 19-inch wheel design was custom matched to the F6 E’s premium Brembo brake package and the ‘shadow chrome’ alloy finish completes an understated yet stylish exterior package.
The interior of the F6 E is a stylish affair featuring luxury 'shadow' leather seats with an 'F6 E' logo embossed on the headrests, a dark walnut woodgrain finish on the dashboard as well as the doors.
Other standard features include a sports leather steering wheel with cruise control and audio mounted switches, dual zone temperature control air conditioning, front and rear power windows, and memory adjustable pedals with alloy pedal controls.
A reverse parking camera and reverse sensing system is also standard.
