Ford Performance Vehicles has developed the most successful GT Falcon of all time.

FPV has sold more than 3,000 BA series GT sedan variants up to the end of August 2005, eclipsing the previous benchmark of 2,949 set by the iconic XW series Falcon GT and Falcon GTHO built between 1969 and 1970.

“This result is proof that the outstanding BA Falcon was the perfect platform to rekindle the passion for the GT,” said David Flint, Managing Director of Ford Performance Vehicles.

“Our customers have made it perfectly clear that FPV has developed a credible vehicle to carry the legacy of one of the country’s most revered motoring names. We have re-created the essence of a GT but, with class-leading technologies such as the quad cam Boss 290 V8 and Control Blade IRS we have taken the legend into the 21st century.”

FPV has sold 1,798 GT and 1,275 GT-P models since it began deliveries in March 2003. With the arrival of the revised BF FPV range in October, the BA GT and GT-P are destined for the record books.

The choice between automatic and manual transmissions has been evenly split in both BA and BA MkII models, with GT buyers swaying slightly in favour of the manual transmissions while the luxury-features standard in GT-P tempted buyers more towards the four-speed auto.

The introduction of GT stripes as an optiona on all Boss 290-powered vehicles has proven popular with FPV buyers. Almost 50 percent of BA models are fitted with stripes, with the number increasing to more than 65 per cent with the introduction of the bonnet bulge decal in the BA MkII models.
