Seeing is believing!! A brand new 2012 Ford FG GT FPV R-SPEC with only 55 kilometres!! Pampered by two careful owners. Everything on this car from the Winter White paint to the spare tyre are brand new!! Press that start button and you are immediately treated to the sound of the thundering supercharged DOHC Coyote V8 engine under the bonnet. This particular example has been optioned with the ZF six-speed sequential automatic transmission and the Brembo brake upgrade. The car is build number 78 and comes with its logbook, compendium, certificate of authenticity and all other related paraphernalia. The FG GT R-Spec came with a raft of changes included a launch control system, stiffer engine and transmission mounts and retuned suspension. The suspension gained stiffer upper control arm bushes, stiffer upper strut mounts and retuned dampers at the front, with the rear gaining higher spring rates, retuned dampers, a larger anti-roll bar and reinforced lower control arms. The rear also gained a wider 9-inch wheel package shod with 275/30 R19 tyres and revised toe-link settings. This "R-Spec" also ended up being a louder car than the regular GT and GT-P despite no particular changes to that effect. The R-Spec split public and owners on not only looks but the package as well. For the first and only time Ford/FPV produced a car with major changes in drive and handling. Many existing FPV owners were quick to down play what was actually quiet a good package which significantly improved drive and performance. In total, 175 units were built painted Silhouette black with red accents and a "C" stripe down each side, echoing the 2012 Ford Laguna Seca. Kinetic blue, Vixen and Winter white were the other colours available to order, featuring black accents and stripe package instead.
