Hopefully a Territory TS based Turbo, but then I'd think T6. More likely the Fairlane.
Perhaps it would be a junior version of the Force6 based on say Futura/Fairmont rather than XR. Hurricane wasted on Courier - should have been Turbo Ute Pursuit |

someones probably said this already but my guess is that its the GTP version of the F6. Either that of maybe a racetrack version (a la GTHO) with more POWAH!

FPV has confirmed it will not launch a Territory-based model until the new model arrives in 2008 Ford Performance Vehicle’s boss Sak Ryopponen has confirmed the worst kept secret in Aussie performance motoring – Ford’s hotshoe brigade is seeking to build a high-performance variant of the Territory. But, and it’s a big but, he has poured cold water on any hopes of the Cayenne-chaser arriving until the next generation of Falcon/Territory arrives in 2008. Talking at the launch of FPV’s revised and expanded BF MkII based range in Sydney yesterday (see CarPoint for details tomorrow), Ryopponen said the Prodrive-owned performance division had the top-selling Ford SUV “firmly in its sights.” He also intimated it had completed engineering trials. Though a hotter Territory has been discussed in private before, this is the first time any on-the-record comment has been made about the potential addition to the FPV line-up. “Every project that was off the table is back on the table,” Ryopponen told CarPoint referring to the potential product mix of FPV. “There are some priority projects we’re looking at, but above all they have to make sense from a business case perspective. “We would definitely like to do something with Territory and we have the capability to do something with Territory, whether it can become a commercial reality [now] is the issue. We have proved we can do [engineer] it.” Ryopponen confirmed however that no approved program for the existing model Territory existed. With the current Falcon and Territory due to be replaced in 2008, he stated that the time it takes to gain approval for the program would make it impossible for the all-paw hottie to arrive until the next generation. The FPV boss also conceded that there would be no “major” changes to its largely Falcon-based range in the short term. According to FPV product chief Mark Behr, save for one model due to be announced at Sydney tomorrow, it believes it has “filled the market opportunities available to it” with current Falcon-based content. According to Ryopponen the game will change with the new generation car: “2008 and beyond is a new ball game,” he said. “Our wishlist [for the new generation Falcon and Territory] has been in for some time. We have some opportunity for refinement of that wishlist, [but] that window is closing pretty rapidly. We’re happy with where we are, with the state of play given we have had to do a lot of the core work already,” he said. Ryopponen said the new Ford and FPV models would debut close together. Holden and HSV recently did the same thing with their respective VE-based ranges. But he also confirmed that FPV needed to move beyond just large car product and that the company still sought to offer a wider model mix. “We’d like to offer a broader range of vehicles that we currently do,” he said. “As opportunities arise we will beat them to death in terms of trying to make them work… We have a will to build very much beyond what we do at the moment.”

Ive been hearing some rumors lately that the TEMPEST is FPV's drift toy the DRIF6. around 380KW and 700 NM of torque for quick stats. Hearing the the only difference between the road car and track car is Rev limiters on 1st, 2nd and 5th. ????
All a mystery. would be an extreme UP for ford if something like this was introduced Little fox

You'd hope so.
But knowing FPV it could just as well turn out to be just another anticlimactic similar looking model with different seats again..... |

Another vote for FPV Territory- no way it would be a wagon, live axle, diminishing market soon to be completely superceeded by RWD Territory
Couldn't be anything else unless a super-pursuit style Tornado.........

Yeah...can't really go with that one as it says 'F6' Tempest. As in 6 cylinder. I'll throw my support behind the Territory Army. This should look hot, and hopefully draw some attention away from the VE, even if it's only a little bit |

Isnt the RS allegedly based on a Volvo 6 Cyl? Could well be a Focus F6 Tempest...? hahaha... More to the point though, it is likely to be a Territory, released at next years melbourne motor show....... |

I'd say I6T Terri also.
Tempest sounds too much like Tampax for my liking. |

Has it ever been established whether the Typhoon was named after the weather event or the WWII fighter....
Tempest is also WWII fighter |

Hawker Typhoon Hawker Torando Hawker Tempest (Also under the Hawker range, but not yet used names by FPV are: Hawker Hurricane, Hawker Hector, Hawker Henley, & Hawker Hotspur) Are the BOSS engines not the Ford V8 Hurricanes used in the F-Series trucks? hmm... WW2 planes seem to just keep popping up....

So it's three-for-three for Ford Australia "borrowing" nameplates from GM for any locally-assembed model not starting with "F" (eg. Falcon, Futura, Fairmont, Fairlane .. oh LTD .. damn!) |
