	Ford announces intentions with elite three-car squad - theage.com.au (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Ford Performance Racing is the final component in Ford's bid to overturn Holden's half-decade of domination, in which the Holden Racing Team has won the touring car championship every year since 1998.
		The Ford team, which is 100 per cent owned by Prodrive's Australian operation, builds on the relationship between Ford and Prodrive, and follows the formation of Ford Performance Vehicles in September last year.
		Ford - and Lowndes, who has yet to replicate anything like his Holden success since his switch to Ford two years ago - will be desperately hoping Prodrive's expertise in formula one and world rallying quickly has an impact on the new team.

	FORD SVT 2004 > News Room > Cobra Boosts Buying Power (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		As the Ford Special Vehicle Team closes the door on 2004 model-year sales, it now turns its full attention to the work of bringing to market an all-new generation of high-performance Ford vehicles, beginning with the next SVT Mustang Cobra.
		While Ford has announced that development of the next-generation SVT F-150 Lightning has been delayed until its high-performance engineers can create a new version that fits into Ford's manufacturing and marketing cadence, there can be no doubt that the F-150 Lightning is a viable SVT product with a future full of possibilities.
		As SVT enters a new era of performance with brand-new vehicle programs riding on all-new platforms produced in new assembly plants, 2005 will be a busy time for those involved in the Ford high-performance business.

	Ford gears up to perform - Road tests and Car reviews - CARSguide
		The BF FPV range is now blessed with the six-speed automatic transmission and has mated it nicely to the two powerplants in its range, the 5.4-litre V8 and turbo six.
		While the manual and auto gearboxes in both the old Ford and current Holden V8 products are far from slick to use, this auto delivers the best of both worlds – so much so that this committed manual gearbox fan would be opting for the $1250 six-speeder behind either FPV powerplant.
		Manual shifts are performed in the direction of the inertia of the vehicle – down-changes are performed by pushing the lever forward (the weight-shift direction under brakes) with the upshifts complete by pulling back (under acceleration), the right direction.

		Targeted at the hardcore, no compromise enthusiast, Ford's SVT unit, led by chief engineer John Coletti, has turned the normally conservative F-150 pickup into a raging 380 horsepower rocket.
		The Special Vehicles Team was started in 1992 when two Ford executives saw the need for the company to step up its commitment to develop and market a line of Ford-badged performance vehicles that would appeal to knowledgeable automotive enthusiasts.
		Created in extremely limited numbers with pure performance in mind, the Lightning is also joined in the SVT stable by its siblings the Mustang Cobra and a brand new, entry-level Focus.

		Aluminum, high-performance Ford GT heads tout "Powered by SVT" While supercharging is a key element in the Shelby Cobra GT500's ability to generate so much horsepower, another major contributing component is the design of the cast-aluminum, four-valve cylinder heads sourced from the Ford GT supercar.
		Mated to the Ford GT four-valve cylinder heads are unique exhaust manifolds that help to better scavenge spent gases out of the cylinders and into the custom-tuned mufflers and dual-exhaust system.

		All of these articles show a pattern of performance consistency that is virtually unmatched among aftermarket high performance "bolt-on" products.
		After nearly a full year of development, we are extremely pleased with the final product, and we know that many of our existing modular customers will want to replace their factory inlet hose with this new assembly for both looks and a modest horsepower increase.
		There are many other applications that our products will apply to, but due to the fact that most of them will only receive a modest performance increase with a limited number of potential customers, we do not actively pursue the sale of products for these applications.

		The new look BF range of Ford Performance Vehicles is an immense improvement upon its predecessor's styling, which were rather tough looking to begin with.
		Though it's a shame Ford's spanner men at Prodrive couldn't have increased peak power in the 5.4-litre quad camshaft V8 to 300kW - keeping up with the new 6.0-litre HSVs - Brembo brakes as standard is a nice enough performance upgrade, and let's not forget the new 6-speed auto either.
		Many FPV customers said the fog lamps were too big on previous models, and the new smaller sized globe housing integrate more appropriately into the sporty design.

	Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV) Typhoon 2006 » Australian Car Advice & News Blog
		It was Ford’s decision to sell the XR6-Turbo (which is the most successful model of the XR lineup) that led FPV to produce an even better car.
		The rumors were never confirmed, nevertheless it was obvious that either the Ford engineers were lazy in getting the most juice out of the XR-6 Turbo or they wanted FPV todo the work or they wanted to sell a few XR-8s and hence they took a little life out of the XR-6 Turbo.
		The FPV Typhoon’s engine produces 270KW and 550Nm of torque, if you love torque, than you should know that there is nothing in the FPV or HSV lineup that will beat this engine, and at 550Nm of torque, the Typhoon took the honour for the most Torque generated for any car ever built in Australia.
