Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV) has released details of its new limited edition F6 R-Spec Typhoon, the first of FPV’s six-cylinder models to feature the R-Spec suspension.

The new addition to the FPV stable is branded with distinctive R-Spec badging, and 'Dark Argent' gunmetal accents on the wheels and rear spoiler as standard. Production is limited to just 300 units, and to prove its "limited" credentials, the new F6 R-Spec will come with a unique build certificate of authenticity.

FPV General Manager Rod Barrett said that the positive response to the GT 40th Anniversary limited edition, which was the first FPV to feature the R-Spec handling package, led to FPV modifying R-Spec for its six-cylinder Typhoon.

“The initial idea behind R-Spec was to provide an FPV vehicle for those people who wanted to be more competitive at track days and club sprint events, but who didn’t want to compromise on the comfort of daily driving either,” said Barrett.

“The GT 40th Anniversary succeeded in fitting that brief, and now for the first time our customers can enjoy the same superior level of suspension and handling on our award-winning Typhoon model.”

The cabin of the F6 R-Spec includes FPV leather seats as standard. An iPod/MP3 audio player connection is also fitted as standard.The FPV F6 R-Spec limited edition will be available with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission, with a recommended retail price starting from $63,310AUS.
