Ford Performance Vehicles was a joint venture between Ford Australia and British company Prodrive, established in 2002 to create go-faster, FPV-badged versions of the then-new BA Falcon. A big power play in 2010 saw FPV take the 5.0-litre V8 engine from the Mustang and fit a supercharger to give the Falcon almighty performance. The most powerful V8 - 351kW - was fitted to the very last FPV, the GT-F. FPV was disbanded in 2014, with Ford Australia shifting the brand's higher-powered engines into the last versions of the XR6 and XR8 before the company ended local manufacturing in late 2016.
