It produced 290 kW (394 PS; 389 bhp) at 5500 rpm and 520 N·m FPV named this uniquely tuned engine as the Boss 290 because of its power output. 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 Pursuit was a ute (utility) version of the GT, featuring the same seats, basic dash/interior package and wheels.
The GT was the entry level vehicle, which started at AU$59,810. The FPV brand has blossomed in subsequent years [edit] 2003 BA range 2003-2004 FPV BA GT The 2003 BA range included the GT, GT-P, and the Pursuit. A restructured range was developed based on Ford’s BA Falcon and headlined by the FPV GT-P. In 2002, following the purchase of Tickford by Prodrive, the Ford PerformanceVehicles company was formed and the FPV brand name was created to replace the FTE name. Poor sales saw a change in marketing approach from Ford.
This was followed in October 1999 by the launch of the Ford Tickford Experience dealer network and the FTE T-Series model line based on Ford’s AU Falcon and Fairlane models. The partnership between Ford and Tickford, Tickford Vehicle Engineering, saw the introduction of the successful Ford Falcon XR6 and Ford Falcon XR8 variants. FPV can trace its roots back to 1991, when the British automotive engineering company Tickford began a collaboration with Ford Australia to produce high-performance variants of the Australian Falcon range.
