And FPV are finally getting serious about making the things handle as they should. Damn, there might be some competition coming for the ol' T3. Bring it on!FPV have certainly taken a leaf outa HSV's marketing book - build a myriad of different models offering different levels of performance over a whole model run and maximise sales momentum ... forget that the cars don't live up to the hype (at least the early ones) ... the fruit is left 'till the last of the model run.

Not quite sure about type R name though, surely theres a better choice.CheersGav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An interesting article in there about the supercharged 380. I hope they go ahead with it, the 380 sure could use an image boost. Also a good article on the new convertible lambo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

I would be suprised if they did anything to the power level, as FPV have a track record for power disapointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean in Motor PCOTY a HSV GTS with a crappy auto! lapped 85tenths off a M5 (which weighs 89kg less and has 66kw more). Not bad! ... I think it works.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only avail on newly purchased models, or also available for retro-fit?Don't think I'll be chucking my Bilsteins and swaybars away just yet, but it's good to hear that they're at last going to offer a factory suspension upgrade option.
