Be First To Meet The New Boss
The wait is finally over! The new Boss V8 has arrived at FPV, bigger and better than
ever. After months of testing and tens of thousands of kilometres travelled, the
new Boss V8 is finally ready to be put through its paces when it goes on sale on
Monday 25th October 2010.
Boss 5.0 litre V8
The previous 5.4 litre Boss V8 has done FPV proud and has been instrumental in the
revival of the GT nameplate. However as it was unable to meet the strict Euro IV
regulations that came into effect on 1st July 2010, a new engine needed to be sourced.
Nicknamed "Coyote" the 5.0 litre all aluminium V8 was first seen in North
America's Mustang GT in December 2009, however it has been substantially modified
in FPV's V8 engine plant in Victoria for the Australian market.
Supercharger
The new Boss V8 has a Harrop/Eaton designed HTV, 1900 front drive supercharger featuring:
- Eaton TVS 6th generation rotor set
- 1.9l per revolution displacement
- Torsional decoupler in supercharger drive shaft for optimised NVH
- PCM controlled inlet bypass valve
- bypass operation for vacuum and boosted conditions
It contains a new cast aluminium high flow supercharger inlet duct and 75mm electronic
throttle body.
The 5.0 litre supercharged Boss V8 comes in 2 variants:
1. GT Engine
335 kW (DIN) @ 5750-6000 RPM
570 Nm (DIN) @ 2200 - 5500 RPM
The iconic GT is now better than ever! The GT range consisting of the GT, GT-P and
GT E are the ultimate V8 sedans, delivering greater low-down torque and superb power
and handling.
2. GS Engine
315 kW (DIN) @ 5750rpm
545 Nm (DIN) @ 2000 - 5500rpm
The GS nameplate will now take pride of place in FPV's model line-up. The GS is available
in both sedan and ute variants and forms the base models in the FPV Euro IV V8 range.
