As one of Ford's hottest Falcons, the FPV F6 is the epitome of slingshot acceleration.

2009 Ford FPV F6 Review
Owner Review | 29 May 2019
It was 2012 and after owning a BA XR6 Turbo for close to seven years, I decided it was time for an update. I narrowed my search down to three similar cars namely the FG variants of the FPV F6, G6E Turbo and XR6 Turbo (the latter two in 50th Anniversary spec.). I would have been happy with either of these and initially I was leaning toward the G6E but I figured I would forego a couple of creature comforts and experience what FPV had to offer. This F6 came in the rare metallic Velvet colour that I thought looked amazing. So, how did the F6 compare to the BA XR6 Turbo? Well, the extra two ratios of the ZF gearbox was probably the biggest notable difference in driving. Initial pickup was a bit quicker and at highway speeds, the engine ticked over about 400rpm lower. Fuel economy improved to 11.9 l/110km bettering the BA’s 12.2. The BA was tuned to about 300kW so the extra power and torque (310kW / 565Nm) of the F6 was not as noticeable as you would expect but it did feel a little smoother and more refined. Ride quality and handling was quite similar. I liked the information screen located between the speedo and tacho dials that displayed digital speed and trip computer data. The larger infotainment screen incorporated HVAC information, a reversing camera and the F6 came with iPod connectivity and Bluetooth. The seven speaker audio system was identical to the premium audio upgrade of the BA. It has been written by motoring journo’s ad nauseam that the steering wheel could not be adjusted high enough in the FG series but I never felt it was an issue and I’m 6’4”. The upper door and dash trim took a backward step as they were lacking the softer feel of the BA. I loved the styling of the FPV’s. There was enough to differentiate it from standard Falcons and yet it was not as lairy as the HSV’s of the time. It was a shame the F6 only got the single exhaust outlet because the dual pipes were reserved for the GT and GT-P only. I thought the optional 19-inch dark argent wheels were the best of the FPV wheels and the distinctive ‘racoon eyes’ under the headlights were a nice touch. As the engine output would suggest, sinking the boot into the F6 produced some colossal acceleration. This was best felt with a rolling start because the standard 245mm wide rear tyres had little hope of maintaining traction from a standing start. Many cars nowadays let rip with a fart between gearshifts but an F6 on full boost farts so hard you are convinced it has followed through. After about 12 months with the F6 my eye started to wander to some European badges. Maybe it was because after owning XC, XD and BA Falcons, an FE LTD and now the F6 (plus a couple of Hyundai’s), I wanted to try something more ‘premium’. Maybe there was growing frustration that I could not utilise enough of the F6 performance in ever-increasing traffic. Maybe the dealer trade-in offer was too good to refuse – who knows but in the blink of an eye, the F6 was gone and occupying the garage space was a 2010 VW Passat CC V6.
2009 Ford Fpv F6 Review
Owner Review | 21 Jun 2016
I have owned around 20 cars in 4 years including 3 fg xr6 turbos.THe fg f6 is the most amazing and reliable car I have owned the power is ridiculous and comfort just as good comparing this to say a Ve clubsport it's smashes it out of the park faster better on fuel better sound system lighter and one of the best parts about the f6 are the seats I have had 5 back operations and the seats are perfect overall amazing Australian made car another amazing no thing about the car would have to be the brembo brakes upgrade e it up against the latest and perhaps greatest local V8 sports sedan, HSV’s 6.2-litre LS3 GTS, and the F6 is faster, even more dynamically inspired, a touch easier on fuel and a substantial $10,000 cheaper.The F6 requires more respect. Flatten the throttle and it’s like being run down and trampled by a marauding bull. The trick is to avoid a goring. The in-gear acceleration times tell the story. Our F6 with the new Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual gearbox completes the third-gear 80-120km/h sprint in 3.0sec. That mutilates a 911 Carrera S, BMW M3 or Benz C63 AMG. (Interestingly, one car it doesn’t beat is the F6 with the ZF auto tested last issue. It storms the increment in just 2.7 seconds.) This car is essentially a high-boost XR6 Turbo with retuned suspension and 19-inch (rather than 18-inch) Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres. And it drives like it, which is a compliment. The front-end is simply superb, the forward-mounted variable-rate steering rack transits with grace from light to meaty the farther off-centre it gets. But a fine grain of feel remains constant. The uprated rear-end offers much as well, but obviously has been charged with a tough job corralling 565Nm. When the inevitable breakaway does come, it’s progressive and fun.
2010 Ford Fpv F6 Review
Owner Review | 13 May 2016
I bought my FPV F6 310 after it had done service as a dealer finance directors car. The first registered owner at 8900 km. From day one I loved the understated looks in Edge over black, it's performance on trips, yet docile around town. I fitted a hollandia sunroof otherwise left factory. I drive 40,000 km per year and after three years decided it was time to move it on.Fuel consumption around town and its appetite for Dunlop SP Sports was high through uneven tyre wear. - subsequently fixed by fitting Goodyear tyres. Servicing costs have never been much above the capped price services, diff bushes @140k, brakes rotors and pads every 50k are the exception to anything other than Ford normal servicing costs. However with high k's it was valued very low as a trade in - less than $20k. Then my wife said she wanted it as a replacement from her 2009 Honda Accord Euro. Below 2500 rpm it drives like a Falcon 6 although connected to the road through the FPV suspension. Above 2500 the Torque of the engine coming in propels the car forward. We both feel safe in the car, stops well, handles well, overtakes effortlessly. We love the way it drives, I now have a BMW 528 2013, on a trip the FPV is my pick. Six years after my original purchase the only thing that would convince me to sell it would be the purchase of an XR6 Sprint. A well balanced performance car with day to day running costs of a family Sedan.
