GS UteOct 2010

GS Ute

An all-new supercharged 5.0-litre Boss V8, developed by Ford’s FPV partner Prodrive for a total investment of $35 million, was the centre piece of the new FPV models and provided 335kW in the GT, while the entry level GS became a permanent member of the line-up with 315kW at 5750rpm and 545Nm of torque from 2000rpm to 5500rpm.Like the 5.4-litre Boss it replaced, the new 5.0-litre engine was assembled at FPV’s Campbellfield headquarters from local and imported ingredients. FPV re-engineered several key parts of the engine to ensure optimum performance, economy and durability.It used many components from the Ford Mustang's Coyote V8, including the all-alloy block that delivered a huge weight advantage of the old engine’s cast iron block, and its four-valve heads.These included unique conrods, pistons and pins, a custom alloy winged oil pan, high flow metal matrix catalysts, special camshafts and a massive air intake system with a funnel that took up a fair chunk of the engine bay.The supercharger used the latest generation Eaton TVS components (as used by Audi and Jaguar) fitted in a custom housing produced by Preston (Melbourne) performance engineering outfit Harrop.It pumped 1.9 litres of air per revolution using a new four lobe system that was designed for greater thermal efficiency, preventing the air from warming up and spoiling the effect of the supercharging.The entry-level GS was based on the XR8 (which at the time was out of production) with a premium centre display and FPV instrument cluster and special black seat trim. It ran 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, and was available in 11 colours (10 for the Ute).

GoAuto Search Words

Search will attempt to find all articles within the system that contain any or all words you are looking for.

You can include words like "and" + "or" for boolean style searching. Some search examples as follows:

  • "Ford v8" - Results will contain the text as it appears in the search "Ford v8".
  • "Ford and v8" - Results will have both "Ford" and "v8" within its contents but may not be sequential as per previous example.
  • "Ford or Holden and v8" - Results found will contain "v8" and also contain either "Ford" or "Holden".

You may also use wildcards represented by an asterisks. For example:

  • "Turbo*" - will find all documents that contain words like "Turbocharged", "Turbo-Diesel".
  • "Ford and v*" - Results will have both "Ford" and any word that has "V", so you may find documents about Volvo that mention Ford.

Please note: Due to the number of articles, searches may take a few moments to respond.
