Why would you want twin-turbo though (becomes it sounds better?) - too complex, too heavy, Liberty B4 that was successful (not), and a lot of twin turbo GTR's swap to a single turbo as their first mod. It'd be going backwards IMO.

Sounds quite interesting.
Would love to see a wagon or a Fairlane based FPV. FPV just need a F8 now. : |

The tempest will be a higher powered typhoon sedan with bigger brakes, seat upgrades etc. That is for sure

Whats the bet they changed the colour of a peice of fabric. Thats enough for FPV to issue another model.
XR4 = YAWN...

Photn no point you are preaching to the wrong crowd, who are all "I drive a big six and 8 and nothing compares to it and all the rest are beneath me" There mentality is set on one thing. It wont change. Its all Falcon this Territory that.
But hey if thats what is selling then I cant really complain, its just there are other cars out there that will put em to shame. Who wants a tissue.... Back on topic....

I believe the only logical would be to F6 the Territory... As they have already added the luxo cars (Force 6 & 8)... what is left?? A coupe?? Damn that would be nice but i dont think they would put a turbo in that!

I'm hoping like 75% of people who have replied here that it's gonna be an FPV Territory. There would be no other car going that would be anything like it.

GT -> GT-P Pursuit -> Super Pursuit. The "enhanced" version of the Typhoon has been mentioned MANY times to MANY people by FPV employees. A Territory has been denied, but marketing people occaisionally "embellish" the truth. Just recently an almost identical thread appeared where all the gurus assured us that the Force8 was actually a supercharged V8 GTHO because that was their fantasy. Statements by people who actually KNEW what it was were ignored or lambasted. Still this is all conjecture, the F6 Tempest despite all the crystal balling and soothsaying will be EXACTLY whatever FPV have decided it will be with the specs that THEY have decided to be released whenever THEY decide to for a price that THEY have set. |

The one in the Pic is a 110kW Sub 8 Second 0-100 hot hatch with track times close to a Boxter S (not really worth a YAWN Walkinshaw. Do some research mate). Seriously, so what if these people don't understand that.... |

Isnt it possible this could be the turbo equivalent of the HSV GTS?
It seems FPV cant/wont/dont want to/dont think they need to upgrade the power of the V8s, and it would be much easier to get more power out of the Typhoons engine. Somewhat of a GT*O type car. |

Pretty much how i feel about the current falcon range. Plus every ''update'' ford releases of them. Oh and i forgot to mention, every previous falcon. At least the ST has some character...

So if what Gadgetman said, and what Spoolman has posted is true, we are gonna see another sedan variant.
Is it me or are FPV getting even more slack???

Hopefully its something to get excited over and not just a F6 ute or sedan with slightly different stripes/spoilers/interior.
FPV Terrier or Fairlane would be cool as! Tempest sounds to me like a cheap cars name. |

Id like to see a tuned version of the Typhoon. Holden can have their 307kw V8's ford will have a 370kw 6cylinder Turbo.
Id say the Tempest name is more closly retaled to the Typhoon than the Tornado. Definition of Typhoon: 2. a violent storm or tempest of India. Id get my 5cents its a typhoon based car |
