Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV) has today launched a new look limited edition Ute.
The Pursuit Ute will feature a GT colour-coded front bumper, GT RSPEC alloy wheels, and a striking accent and C-stripe decal. Only available in Silhouette with Vixen stripes and accents, the Pursuit Ute will be limited to just 75 units, the smallest number of Utes offered as a limited edition ever produced by FPV. The Pursuit will continue to carry the standard features of the current GS Ute range with a number of additional extras, creating exceptional value for money. Over and above the standard features of a GS Ute, the Pursuit Ute will now include Pursuit badge positioned across rear tailgate 8" rear wheel with 5-spoke premium alloy wheel design with Vixen accents GT colour-coded bumper in Silhouette Vixen Upper and lower grille surrounds Vixen Fog lamp bezels Vixen Mirror Scalps All New Vixen decal pack 'C' stripe Black painted Exhaust Tips Piano Black interior finish around ICC unit, tissue box and door spears Manual gear lever with new badge design Premium Sound with dual zone temperature control Shadow leather sports seats The limited edition Pursuit Ute will continue to be powered by the impressive all-aluminium 315kW 5.0ltr supercharged V8 engine producing 545Nm of torque @ 2000-5500rpm. All other options will continue to be available on the Pursuit Ute and will include ZF 6 speed automatic transmission with sequential sports shift (NCO), tow bar and satellite navigation with SUNA Traffic Channel. The recommended Manufacturer's List Price* for the Pursuit Ute is $57,990 at participating FPV Dealers only. *This is the manufacturer's list price for the vehicle only. A number of other components, including a dealer delivery fee, stamp duty, registration, compulsory third party (CTP) insurance and other statutory charges may be payable by a customer in relation to the purchase of this vehicle. As a manufacturer, FPV is not able to quantify the amount of these charges as they vary depending on a range of factors and individual circumstances, including the FPV Dealer the customer purchases the vehicle from, the State or Territory where that customer purchases the vehicle and the customer's age, driving record and other personal factors. The final transaction price for the vehicle will be as negotiated by the customer with their chosen FPV Dealer.

Welcome back to the Pursuit badge, and what a fine job they have done.
Im not sold on the Red wheels, but hey, if you buy a Black car (Ute) with red stripes chances are you want people to look anyways. |

I don't like it. Looks like something a bogan would do in their back shed with a can of red spray paint.

This one literally is a sticker pack, plus the addition of the GT front bar and headlights.

I was hoping fpv were going to deliver a decent sports ute, but instead they gave us the batmobile.

What a waste of time, the only thing worthwhile it has over GS ute is leather as standard. How hard is it to offer the Pursuit and not a tarted up XR6 in the line up permanently the same as FG1 and B series.

OK I retract my earlier comment, looks like they have actually done something worth while with the sedan.

Cmon Fpv I was waiting for this Pursuit to come back but no Brembo brakes no sale. Its disappointing ute considering HSV release a Maloo with HSV brakes and sat nav standard and 20" wheels for the same price plus on roads. It looks like I,ll have to keep dreaming about a real one.

They have 2 Maloo models the entry one is $58,990 driveaway with 317Kw , 20" wheels , sat nav , HSV brakes, cloth seats , leather option ugly Maloo R8 lid is option ,as well as the EDI information option and BI modal exhaust optional. Pretty good value compared to what we get for a Sticker pack FPV pursuit.

Gee you would have to bleed blue to choose the FPV offering over the Maloo at that coin. I nearly bought a Maloo a few times but they wanted stupid money for them every time I looked. Like mid 60s.

I sort of dont mind it, but I think a little more effort would have people jumping to get one.
9 in rear wheels Brembo's Hard lid Twin exhausts. One other thing>> the upper C stripe isnt on the same plane as the lower one???  It should have run directly to the door handle. Im sure someone here thats good at photoshop could fix that & the stripe package would look more in line??
