FPV is all set to take on high-end European performance sedans with the flagship GT-E uber-sedan.
Equipped with a 5.4-litre BOSS V8 engine developing 315 kW (6500 rpm) and 551 Nm of torque (4750 rpm), the FPV GT-E boasts high performance in an understated package free of the decals which adorn other vehicles in the range, namely, the F6 and GT-P.
Driving dynamics is superb courtesy of the independent double wish bone front suspension and performance control independent rear suspension giving the perfect balance between handling and comfort. Brilliant Brembo 6-piston calipers (front) and 4-piston calipers at the rear provides superior stopping performance while Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is also available to keep the vehicle in check.
Elegantly styled with striking chrome accents with just hint of its sporty credentials via the five-spoke 19-inch wheels, subtle lip spoiler and twin exhaust outlets (one on each side), the GT-E is easily distinguishable from its GT siblings.
Likewise, this elegant and luxurious theme extends to the vehicle's interior with plush charcoal leather seats and walnut woodgrain finish on the dash and doors. A leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel, dual-zone climate-control air conditioning and electric everything rounds out the impressive list of interior features.
The FPV GT-E 'executive express' goes on sale nationally from June 2, 2008 priced from $76,990 (or $78,167 when the revised luxury-car tax comes into effect from July 1).
