In 2011, FPV presented the GT “Black” at the Sydney Motor Show. The car featured not only a fresh look but wheels and suspension changes. The car that went on sale unfortunately was reduced to a simple blacked out paint job and a new matte black strip kit. It wasn’t until the R-Spec arrived a year later that the concept changes started to appear. In 2012 FPV released codename “Panther”, a new track-focused “GT R-Spec”, using the current “GT” with its 335 kW (449 hp)/570 Nm. (420 lbf⋅ft) supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine, in so doing creating Australia’s fastest accelerating production car. Although rated at 335 kW (449 hp), actual engine outputs were closer to 420 kW (563 hp), with many production models running up 330 kW (443 hp) at the rear wheels when dyno tested. This “R-Spec” also ended up being a louder car than the regular GT and GT-P despite no changes to that effect. The R-Spec split public and owners on not only looks but the package as well. For the first and only time Ford/FPV produced a car with major changes in drive and handling. Many existing FPV owners were quick to downplay what was quite a good package which significantly improved drive and performance.
